Lobbying should be illegal? Why? Whenever there are two or more people involved, there's going to be politics.

Saying "no lobbying" is like saying "it will be sunny every day and rain only at night." Ain't gonna happen.

Because of what I said before:

There should be no way for money to exchange hands from interest groups or individuals to elected officials...either as cash, gifts, services, whatever.

Lobbying does nothing but corrupt the politics that, as noted, will always be there. The only upside in lobbying is fattening the wallet of the politician and promoting the desires of a corporation or special interest group, whether or not such desires are consistent with the welfare of the country.
