Giving Across the Aisle

From the Politico:

For these Republicans and others like them, it's the cost of doing business with a Congress run by Democrats. An analysis of 100 top Republican lobbyists shows that about a dozen of them -- including former GOP members, staffers and White House officials -- have contributed to Democrats in the year and a half since they won control of both the House and the Senate.

Double givers, as we call them, are perhaps the best example of how money talks in Washington. You may spend a career in Congress throwing bombs at the other side, but once you become a lobbyist and need to deliver for your clients, all that is history.
