[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been bugging me.  One of the people who was shot along with Scalise was apparently a big ag lobbyist.

Why was this lobbyist at an extracurricular event at 7AM with a bunch of members of the House and Senate?   And how many other lobbyists were there?
  Seems to me that this is exactly what's wrong with American politics:  The constant presence of lobbyists everywhere, pitching their corporate agenda, wining and dining and buying our elected officials' votes and support, to the detriment of everyone else.

The shooter was clearly disturbed and one cannot condone or defend shooting people but there's a certain dystopian irony in all of it.

By all accounts the guy apparently posted rants on social media about this kind of corrupting influence in US politics.

It looks like he was right about that.
