"If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us. If we're a humble nation, but strong, they'll welcome us".

Are Willie Jefferson, Jim Black, Meg Scott Phipps, Kevin Geddings, etc. Republicans? News to me.
A lobbyist is someone who argues a particular point of view before Congress or the President. For example, on the issue of global warming, there are lobbyists who argue that it is not a big problem, there are lobbyists who argue for nuclear energy (which does not produce much green house gases), and there are lobbyists in the environmental movement who argue for a reduction in energy consumption.
It is ridiculous to suggest that legislators or the President would vote on legislation without hearing all sides of an issue. The only effective way to do that in most cases is to let the lobbyists state their case. A Congressman or President with an open mind who is willing to listen to all sides will always agree with a least one of the lobbyist on an issue. It is a witch hunt to claim there is something inherently sinister about that.
It's ridiculous to be so naive about politicians.
