lobbyism

Government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, and for the lobbyists. Also known as the United States of America.

In the U.S. lobbyism flourishes at the expense of middle class Americans.

Lobbyism is different from capitalism because it is based on greed and bribery; while capitalism implies business conducted on a “level playing field.”

Lobbyism is our government gone corrupt.

Lobbyism brought the U.S. a financial meltdown, a huge recession and the worst environmental disaster in the nation’s history.

We wanted health insurance reform, but lobbyism won; now we have a mandate to buy over-priced health insurance from profiteers.

lobbyist

A person who is interested in basically bribing, without actually doing so, US Congressmen. Go against the principles of the Constitution because it makes the Senators and Representatives represent people other than their constituents. Take away the citizen's voice by making Congressmen more concerned with corporate fatcat profits rather than the good of the people.

"The lobbyist tried to get the Senator to pass the bill by buying him a hooker, but the Senator turned out to be gay, so the bill failed."

Hotel lobbyist

A guest who spends more time in the lobby than their room. Usually talking to reception staff about uninteresting facts that no body asked about.

Guest: .... and you got to roll your fingers in a downwards motion. Don't tug at it, alot of people think its a tugging motion because it looks that way, but its not...
Receptionist1: oh .... I see?

half an hour later, the guest has just left the lobby. Receptionist is catching up on paper work with a colleague.

Receptionist2: So what was the hotel lobbyist going on about?
Receptionist1:I think he was teaching me how to milk a cow or something?

Hobby Lobbyist

A person who calls themselves pro-life, but is really only concerned with life from conception to birth, ignoring said child after it leaves the womb. True pro-life individuals are equally concerned with feeding, clothing, housing, educating and raising the child until it reaches maturity.

Also known as using the power of a corporation to spread your own religious beliefs.

I am tired of listening to you drone on and on about how pro-life you are. Didn't you vote for cuts in education, social services, WIC and comprehesive/inclusive healthcare for women? You've turned into such a negative, Hobby Lobbyist - all you care about is the fetus!
