Arizona Rep. David Schweikert joins a long list of other new law makers
that have turned out to be no better than their predecessors.

On his campaign website, incoming Arizona Rep. David Schweikert promised he would "be there to represent your interests, not big spending special interests. I will push for common sense reforms in Congress that will reduce the influence of lobbyists and special interests."

Exactly! Thank you. That's been my mantra for years, I hate them all, and yet they're a necessary evil.

Yeah, they all lie.

Just like when Obama broke his promise about implementing tougher rules for lobbyists and then gaive waivers to some;

Former lobbyist in the White House? It's okay if they say it's okay.

Of the 513 promises we're tracking, this one has become the most controversial. It is the cornerstone of President Obama's campaign theme about limiting the influence of special interests.

During the campaign, Obama said many times that lobbyists would not run his White House, and the campaign delighted in tweaking rival John McCain for the former lobbyists who worked on McCain's campaign.

Obama's ethics proposals specifically spelled out that former lobbyists would not be allowed to "work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years." On his first full day in office, Obama signed an executive order to that effect.

But the order has a loophole — a "waiver" clause that allows former lobbyists to serve. That waiver clause has been used at least three times, and in some cases, the administration allows former lobbyists to serve without a waiver.

After examining the administration's actions for the past two months, we have concluded that Obama has broken this promise.

I'm sorry Seth, you're not allowed to criticize the current POTUS, he's lead a tough life, he's a minority, he's overly criticized, and for gosh darn it, Barry says we can't because Obama only does good things, like the tooth fairy, or the easter bunny, he's infallible

You are right. I need to back off and focus on my Palin shrine.
