Are the Nazis More Honest than Wisconsin Republicans and ALEC?

ALEC operates as a super-lobbying entity while being an unregistered influence peddler. The Nut Gingrich is widely considered to have been acting for years as an unregistered lobbyist, notably in his Freddie Mac.

In contrast, MSNBC.com notes that the Nazis have hired and registered a lobbyist.  As evil as the Nazis are - in spite of being called a 'civil rights organization for white people' by Fox Not-News - they are at least in this regard a heckuva lot more honest and less corrupt than the conservative influence peddlers. Given the warm reception, accommodation, and encouragement offered multiple white supremacist groups at conservative events such as CPAC, it can only be presumed that the target of their lobbying efforts will be conservative politicians.  Despite their repeated but unpersuasive denials, there is a sadly broad streak of racism on the right; there have been a wide range of examples, from the racist comments left in various locations relating to the Trayvon Martin killing, along partisan lines, to the CPAC speakers, to the dismissal of Pat Buchanan from MSNBC.com for his support of racist media outlets and for the content of some of his books, to the warm embrace of the perennial, previously discredited hate-and-fear-mongers founded in part by the Koch Brothers dad, the John Birch society.    There is white supremacist groups on the right, including neo-nazis of different stripes.

'Swastika on the ballot': American Nazi Party gets its first lobbyist

By Ian Johnston, msnbc.com

The American Nazi Party has its first lobbyist in Washington, according to reports.
The Hill newspaper, which covers Congress when it is in session, said John Bowles had registered with House and Senate offices as a representative of the “ANP,” according to disclosure records.
The records said that he planned to lobby on “political rights and ballot access laws,” and other issues such as civil rights, healthcare and immigration.
“You know, congressmen and congresswomen have always been telling the American public that they were open to other viewpoints,” Bowles told The Hill. “I’m going to see if they were sincere about that, or I’m going to call their bluff.”
Bowles was a presidential candidate in 2008 for the National Socialist Movement, according to US News and World Report. Nazi comes from the German words for National Socialist.
He told The Hill that people in America did not understand the term socialism, but knew what Nazism was.
“So [we] decided: Why don’t we just say what we are?” he added. “In the future, when we get people on the ballot, when people see the swastika on the ballot, they’ll know what they’re getting."

I may not like them, I definitely do not agree with them, but I give them more credit than conservatives for at least being open and up front about who they are and their agenda compared to other conservatives in ALEC, or the Nut Gingrich, and Rick Saint-orum, who will presumably go back to influence peddling until the next presidential election cycle.

Rick Santorum's influence peddling and Jack Abramoff scandal days was noted here, although Gingrich has received a bit more attention this election cycle than Saint-orum:

A Roll Call article from March 2001 (accessed via LexisNexis) says that he did:

Santorum has assembled a virtual Who’s Who of Republican lobbyists, including a number of prominent ex-lawmakers, to advise him on how to improve communications and coordination between K Street and Capitol Hill as the GOP leadership seeks to push Bush’s agenda.
Among those attending the first meeting of the group last Tuesday were former GOPReps. Bob Livingston (La.), Bob Walker (Pa.), Rod Chandler (Wash.) and Paxon, as well as former Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.). [...]
Lobbyists who participated in the meeting include Jack Abramoff of Greenberg Traurig, David Carmen of the Carmen Group, Dan Meyer of the Duberstein Group, Dan Cohen of Arter & Hadden, Peter Terpeluk of American Continental Group, Dan Mattoon of Podesta-Mattoon, Don Fierce of Fierce and Isakowitz, Tom Korologos of Timmons and Co., Ed Gillespie of Quinn/Gillespie & Associates, and David Bockorny of Bergner Bockorny Inc. [John Bresnahan. "GOP Tightens Grip on K Street; Leaders Send Message To Associations." Roll Call. 3/12/2001]

A National Journal article from May 2001 (accessed via LexisNexis) reports the same thing:

Finally, both Santorum and Hutchison are hosting twice-monthly, informal conversations with lobbyists. Santorum is meeting with contract lobbyists; Hutchison is talking to representatives of trade associations.
Santorum held his first meeting in early March with such K Street heavy hitters as Jack Abramoff of Greenberg Traurig; Donald Fierce of Fierce and Isakowitz; Ed Gillespie of QuinnGillespie & Associates; Dan Meyer of the Duberstein Group Inc.;and Dan Mattoon of Podesta/Mattoon. Former Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., and former Reps. Bob Livingston, R-La., and Paxon also attended. [Louis Jacobson and Brody Mullins. "The GOP's New Bridge To K Street." National Journal. 5/5/2001]

It almost makes me sad that the Nazis are going to be potentially getting their hands dirty with dirty conservative politics. At least the Nazis are willing to run their candidates under their own brand and banner, unlike the Wisconsin dirty Republicans. Maybe the Nazis taking this step to be more politically active on the right will actually IMPROVE conservative political morality.

Because the way the right plays politics now, all the times they use the word 'values' and give empty lip service to morality should be choking them.
