Because the K street masters of the GOP will not allow it. Nothing more than that! The only time conservative are needed is on election day! After that they can and must be dispensed with until the next election.
Would you name the specific "K street masters," for a few districts that you know and understand. I mean actual names of people and organizations, and the officeholders.
Then give us a count, of the actual number of jobs in the district and beyond.
I'll use your home state as an example, so the readers get an idea about this particular topic. Oil & gas, and supporting service industries.
You and others continually disparage the "GOPe," the "establish" and the "Chamber of Commerce."
It is not much of a stretch to liken those who decry the "establishment" today, to the 70s hippies that were for tearing down the establishment.
If I lived in Texas, I would expect my Congresscritter, mayors, Governors would be in favor of the oil business, and the tens of thousands of jobs tied to it.
So do all the anti-establishment Tea Party advocates like the K street oil industry relationships, or not?
You could repeat that little story, many times over, for the important industries and employers the nation over.
So which American jobs do you want to disparage, next? Computer jobs? Entertainment jobs? Agriculture jobs? Transportation jobs? Defense and aerospace jobs?
They all have their K street relationships, too. And in turn many people's employment is tied to the success of those relationships.
