Since "reformer" John McCain didn't see any problem with lobbyists running his campaign, and only fired them when they became a public relations problem, why should we think it will be different if he wins the White House? We're already bearing the burden of an administration where lobbyists determine every decision, we don't need more of that!

Senator Obama for President — Mon, 19 May 2008 13:47:08 GMT

Apparently, lobbyists are all over McCane. What a typical Washington insider. What a breath of fresh- air Senator Obama is for American politics. The Airbus issue is going to bite and gnaw at McCane more than he realizes. Can't wait to hear the rationale for that stupid decision.

The only lobbyists leaving the McCain campaign are the ones who refused to give up their pay checks from the lobbying firms. The rest of them are fresh off K-Street and running the campaign of a candidate with a history of misusing his influence. They just took a leave of absence. After the Abramoff/Republican lobbying scandal, I am surprised that the corporate media is covering this as if McCain was cleaning house. That is very misleading.

McCain has known all along who is working for him. His so-called "high standards' only pop up when the press turns on the kleig lights and starts illuminating McCain's extremely close ties with the lobbyists he supposedly distains. When he says "My friends" he means his lobbyist friends and anyone who will shovel a little cash his way. He tries to come across some sort of maverick or outsider but he's been on the take in one form or another since his stint with the Keating Five in Arizona. He flips and flops on virtually every issue and has been an ardent Bush supporter, especially supporting Bush's War, for the last eight years. What's new from McCain that we haven't already seen with Bush? McCain is Bush. No matter how hard he and his lobbyist friends try to separate themselves from the disaster known as the Bush Presidency, he and GW are one and the same. The public is not prepared to believe McCain is a different kind of Republican no matter how hard Republican Chairman Donatelli tries to spin it. The last different kind of Republican was Theodore Roosevelt. Today's Republican Party and McCain are no different than GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Tom Delay, Mitch McConnell, John Boehnor, and their cheerleaders Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Ann Coulter. Oregon turned out 75,000 voters for Obama. They must not have gotten the word about how different John is....

McCain is the reason Jack Abramoff is in jail. McCain lead the fight against Abramoff. McCain showed great courage. McCain has taken on drug companies and tabacco companies. McCain is not liked by big business or K Street. This campaign has been a campaign of distortions.

I believe Charlie Black is still on the payroll. McFossil may try hard to distance himeself from Bush, but his record ties him to him. He voted WITH Bush on almost every single issue. That's a fact. McCain is the "same old brand of dog food" that the Repubs have been pushing since the 1950s. People want change and will see Obama for that purpose.

If mccain didn't know about all the lobbyists working for him, he should have. Seems he is as out of touch with his campaign as he is with the American people! All of his self righteous hypocrisy will come out - he has been in Washington way too long and he is definitely not who he plays himself to be. Time to put bush lapdog mccain in the spotlight...no more free ride!

This should be of concern for McCain supporters and delight those that oppose his election (a good portion of the country I presume). I though that McCain would have learned from the 2006 mid-term election that the K Street project was a huge mistake. It is looking like that he is not really going learn not to have lobbists on his campaign staff. I would hope the other campaigns would understand that people who work for the campaign must only work for the campaign.

McCain lobbying machine has only gone on vacation to be returned if McCain were to win the election. Does anyone believe McCain wife have all the money? Okay, lets see the taxes just like Obama and Clinton's. Do you believe after twenty someting years in politics McCain don't have any assets that has pass on to the wife? If this is the beginning of honesty and "staight talk" then Americans have to review McCain pledges and platform.
