xiphiasGrover Norquist's K Street Project is how he's tracking which lobbyists give how much money to Republicans and to Democrats.
His stated goal is to punish lobbyists who give money to Democrats: he wants to get every dime of lobbyist money into Republican pockets. He's been trying to turn this into a one-party country for several years now. As it is, something like 2/3 of the corporate money goes into Republican pockets already, but Norquist wants it all.
It occurred to me that this is potentially argument against the Naderites' "Well, BOTH parties are just in the pockets of Big Business."
No, no they're not. Norquist is doing his damnedest to make sure that the Democrats are not in the pockets of ANY corporate interests. Think about it.
