Governmental (more accurately Congressional) support for lobbyist-supported legislation is a 3 step process.
1) God I am so fucking sick of dialing for dollars.
2) This guy has a bag of money.
3) I spend all my time dialing and none of it on policy so I can't tell the difference anyways.
Hey, I'll just do what he's telling me.
It's not quite that cut and dried but that's what it comes down to in the end, with a little dancing in between so the congressman can convince himself he isn't being bought.
