Do all Lobbies corrupt Governments especially the AIPAC Lobby.?

Lobbies should not be allowed to pay for our Government officials elections, travel, businesses, ect. It corrupts them from what is best for the American People. Defense Contractors are getting richer and richer everyday on blood money. AIPAC is alot like the Mob days. View this video.

Update:

I do not have a problem with American Jews nor do I have a problem with Jews in general. I am against the lobbies that support any interest outside of America. I feel the American people over all should vote on new changes, just like we do when we elect Presidents. I feel all lobbies should be banned period. Just because you have lots of money does NOT mean you have the Interest of Americans first. Greed&Selfishness corrupts, this is a FACT. I am 100% against the Military Occupation by Israelis... their heavy handed tactics breed hate and extremists. Segregation & Collective Punishment of all Palestinians is Wrong... It hasn't solved anything in the Middle East, if anything it has made Islamic Extremism spread world wide. I am an American my interest are for Americans first... and if we help other countries it should be Equal, and Fair for all. If this was being done by Europeans I would be speaking out against them too. I believe this...Peace,Justice Freedom & Dignity for all people

    Its may be a legal to have an American national lobby to lobby for the American people. But having a lobby to lobby for other country is un constitutional by all means.

    Read what Sharon said one day about the issue we are addressing.

    "Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael.

    i do no longer think of lobbies have impact on the applicants for the duration of an election. yet lobbies have a great impact pressing the flesh of the legislatures as quickly as the new child-kisser is in workplace. The evidence how effectual AIPAC is could be measured in what share grant funds are dispensed to their reason, as a effect, the rustic of Israel. the U. S. branch of State is extremely reluctant to itemize via worldwide places how our funds is being spent. however the each year determine according to Israeli citizen the U. S. expends is approximately $20k / $24k. because of the fact we will modernize Israel's air rigidity, a protection contractor in citadel properly worth will shop it incredibly is assembly plant in production. it incredibly is how complicated the situations can exchange into. Dubya, needless to say, an influential baby-kisser who happens to come back from Texas. Russia and China are prohibited via regulation -- artifact of the Commie Hunt Days -- from lobbying the U. S. Congress. Russia, expressly, would request they'd foyer. Russia has oil fields in progression. Russia would decide for to steer our Congress.

    Firstly, to TAMARINDWALK: kindly cite your evidence for stating that AIPAC is one of the worst. That is your opinion only, don't present it as fact unless you can support the statement.

    In answer to the question: why do you repeatedly post questions about Israel etc? If you are so against the Jewish community in America, why do you feel the need to talk about it all the time?

    I'm in the UK and I WISH there was a British equivalent of AIPAC here. NOTE: I myself am not Jewish. But I know that in the UK the Islamic lobbying groups - of which there are sooooooo many, get it all their own way and the Israeli 'side' is rarely, if ever, presented.

    As for your nonsensical idea that AIPAC is like the 'Mob' - oh, really? AIPAC is in the habit of strolling into bars and restaurants and shooting everyone inside? AIPAC deals in drugs now, does it?

    I think that even you must have sufficient integrity to know that your remark is so stupid it's actually funny.

    Lobbies are the way government gets done. In a democracy the people decide, and in capitalism they decide with money. It seems that the logical outcome is that in a capitalistic democracy the people decide with money. Everything has a lobby - smoking, anti-smoking, minorities - everything. AIPAC is no better or worse than anyone else.

    If you don't like the way democracy gets done then come up with a better solution; knowing you it probably has something to do with banning Jews from voting. After all, they assassinated Kennedy right? At least, that's what you've said on a previous post...

    Yes they are, like aipac and the adl, and bnai brith, these lobbies use sympathy to get what they want, but no-one mentions what israel does to palestinians daily.

    Israels killed more palestinians than how many jews died in the holocaust, palestine should get a lobby, and claim hate crimes against infallible israel.

    That is the nature of the beast, dear.

    You can either join them and create an "anti-AIPAC" lobby or start a grassroots effort to ban lobbies in general.

    but as long as what they are doing is legal you cannot blame them for it.

    The number of errors and inaccuracies here can only be explained by bias in the minds of the two "professors." It is actually in America's benefit to back Israel, despite the strong Arabist leanings of the State Department.

    Do all anti-Semites try to disguise their hatred, and rather than make the claim that Jews control the world, make such ridiculous charges?
