McCain's Ties To Lobbyists: $765,000 Alone From Telecommunications Lobbyists

750K? Well, that's about the same amount of "donations" (in other places it might be called bribes) that Sen. Dodd cashed in from Hedge Funds during his "Presidential" run....

I know i could not trust this guy

Wow! McCain's a hypocrite! And this is news worthy?

And of course that's why him and Bush are saying that the "telecom industry" cannot be held responsible for spying on Americans, because they were doing exactly what McBush told them to do.

It is evident that electing this old man to the White House would truly be another 4 years of Bush, something neither this nation nor the global community can afford.

Is this where I am to feign shock and exasperation?

As a Canadian who studied in Britain for a number of years and now lives in California, who knew this country's government would be so corrupt! Geez, my parents are originally from India, a very corrupt country for sure, but at least in India when a politician gets a kick-back they are investigated, usually by the media and then by the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation, Indian version of FBI), and subsequently prosecuted, ummmm sometimes. Anyways, you know what I mean.

McCain is an old fraud who was locked up in Vietnam for dropping bombs on innocent people.
He has spent the biggest part of his life sucking on the American tax payer.
To quote Groucho, who you gonna beleive, me or your own eyes?

teflon john has been in the telecom's pocket since day 1, the nyt's story was right on the money. that is why fox has been shoving rev. wright down our throat , to change our focus

Lobbyists do our voting for us, so why we even bother to vote unless we change the system.
Don't be surprised if Hillary or McCain get voted in as prez, this way the GOP won't lose power.

The crooken bastard is the newest teflon man.....bought and paid for by special interests, AND STILL ahead of Obama and Clinton in the polls. What the F*** gives?

Heavens to Murgatroid!
USA Today discovered that McBush is in bed with lobbyists!
Who could have anticipated that???
Did this just happen?

We need a barbeque! STAT!!

McCain's wife looks like an android. Does anyone know anyone who plans on voting for McCain?

Well he sort of just miss lobbied or miss lied.

"I did not have sex with that money." Johnny, what happened to that straight talk express? Better get those reporters back for another B-B-Q.

WHERE"S VICKI ????????????????????

The Politican's Mantra,... and not just for Republicans,... Whatever I say, whatever I do, assume that most of the time I mean the exact opposite.

All it takes to see the truth is to take a look at McCain's campaign bus, covered with corporate logos.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TAKING MONEY FROM COMMUNICATIONS INC--OUR VIRTUAL
OWNERS--BUT WHICH PARTICULAR TELECOM OUTFIT--MC CAIN'S MILLIONS CAME FROM
TWO COMPANIES ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN SNOOPING UPON OUR LIVING ROOMS AND GRANNY'S RECIPES JUST IN CASE THERE WAS ANTHRAX IN THE HOUSE.
AND I LOVE THE BLOG HERE THAT ASKS THE ALL-BUT-HISTORICAL-NOTE, WHERE IS THE
BLONDE ASSOCIATED WITH MC CAIN'S LOBBYING VOYAGES?? SHE MAY HAVE DYED HER HAIR
GREEN AND HEADED FOR DUBLIN JUST TO FLAUNT THE SCOTTS-IRISH PROTESTANT IN DEAR
OLD JOHN--WHO OF COURSE DOES NOT WEAR RELIGION ON HIS SLEEVE--HE JUST HAS LIEBERMAN TAGGING ALONG IN PALESTINE CLOSE TO HOLY WEEK--WHEN RICH CHRISTIANS
FLOCK TO JERUSALEM EXPECTING IT TO BE SAFE FOR TOURISM. SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE MIDDLE AGES--TOURISM TO THE "NON-TOMB" WAS A BIG INDUSTRY GUARDED BY THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. WELL, ON TO SPRING--GORMAN J.

How about the lobbyist from Airbus who is on his campaign staff? McCain bragged plenty about the tanker deal that that he helped steer, saving the taxpayer 40 billion dollars. What he did not mention are the details, like the tanker deal was steered to Airbus a European company, which is pitching a larger aircraft to be built from scratch and requiring the added cost of larger runways and hanger facilities. Most of all, he not discuss that Boeing will be the big looser in this deal as well as the employees who build and design the aircraft, not to mention outsourcing US national security which is a problematic trend these days. One of the reasons for defending the Congressional Military Industrial Complex is that it creates jobs and spurs innovation that eventually makes into the private sector like GPS and the internet, when you outsource military contracts to forgian corporations, I"m not sure what the point is in feeding this beast. The Devil is always in the details.

One of many reasons I left the "Straight talk Express" in 2001. In addition to the lobbyist McCain would be just another 4 years of Bush - only worse. Embarrassed to say, this Independent voted for McCain in the MI primary in 2000 - wouldn't vote for the man if he were running for dog catcher - his stance on Iraq and more importantly, he's been a 'puppet' for Bush.

The blonde lobbyist McCain was associated with seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No one even mentions her, least of all the company that employed her. What happened to her? No one is even asking.

Obama has taken: more than $6 million from the Communications/Electronics industry. He's also taken $118,844 from telephone utilities.

You can verify this on opensecrets.org, if you really want to know the truth.

Both of these totals are just for the presidential campaign, and only up to Feb. 20, 2008.

Wonder what it is for his total political DECADE, as this article is exposing for McCain. Perhaps Obama should release these papers.

Just sayin'.
