Lobbyists...in general are a good thing...but like many things they are abuses by some lobbyists as well as by the ones that they are lobbying. In all walks of life there are the White Hats...and the Black Hats...but mostly there are Grey Hats.

Sure... agree this can be good. The problem is when large sums of cash become "standard practice".
This is no more than "legalised bribery" which, in many other democratic countries would result in terms of imprisonment.
In fact.. hell.. it extends more than that... even to standards of truthfulness in advertising currently being conducted by both parties. This is "real" pig shit :-) Again.. only in the US.... Elsewhere is jail term.
