Lobbyists Exploit Massive Loophole to Wine and Dine Lawmakers, Aides at Fancy Getaways
22nd September 2024
‘Loophole’, in prog-speak, means ‘something the law allows that I think ought to be illegal’. This is why mail-in ballots, which favor the Left, are never described as a ‘loophole.’
Leading the way is the nonprofit Congressional Institute, which is run by veteran Republican staffers and funded by $3 million in annual dues from private interest groups.
Notice that the objection is not to the ‘loophole’, but to Republicans getting some sort of advantage from the ‘loophole’.
In prog-speak, ‘private interest groups’ are always non-Left and therefore Bad, while Left ‘private interest groups’ are always ‘watchdogs’ or ‘public interest groups’ and therefore Good.
