we don't need this kind of partisanship. Either we have disclosure or we don't.

What you want is, A, disclosure and, B, people not working if they have the conflicts of interest.

But when you cut through all of that partisan bickering, all of us would agree that we want to have open disclosure.

I am not saying that you should have registered lobbyists, but every so often it might be appropriate, if disclosed.
