Dems warn lobbyists to Stay Away from GOP Meeting

Top aides to Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) called a "last-minute, pre-emptive" strike "with a group of prominent Democratic lobbyists, warning them to advise their clients not to attend a meeting with Senate Republicans set for Thursday," Roll Call reports.

Recounted one lobbyist: "They said, 'Republicans are having this meeting and you need to let all of your clients know if they have someone there, that will be viewed as a hostile act... Going to the Republican meeting will say, 'I'm interested in working with Republicans to stop health care reform.'"

1. Lets hope they go then

I wish our party thought of these lobbiests as "enemies", it would make for real reform.

2. Evidently, Sir, Baucus Prefers They Work With Him To Stop Health Care Reform....

That seems to be the sum of his agenda in the matter.
