Why do GOP members need oath to lobbyist?

I am amazed that Congress takes time away from vital fundraising to pursue baseball players.

After countless dollars and eight years, Barry Bonds is given a 30-day house arrest and a $4,000 fine. After the extensive hearings, this is the best they got?

Another example of congressional waste is Congress fighting for the old light bulbs instead of the fluorescent bulbs. Way to go, guys. You certainly don't waste time on real budget and spending reform because that would take cooperation, and it is important for Republicans to prevent President Barack Obama's re-election, no matter what it costs the nation.

I do have one question for Republican congressmen: Didn't you take an oath to defend America from enemies, foreign and domestic, and to uphold the Constitution? Why do you need an oath to a lobbyist, Grover Norquist, when you already took a pretty good oath?

I now understand why George Washington was so against party and faction. He understood that the Congress would serve narrow interests and not the nation.
