Politico:

More than a few Republican lobbyists in Washington are scratching their heads these days, asking: So this is the thanks we get?

It was a small band of loyal lobbyists who stood by presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain last August when his campaign went broke and his White House aspirations seemed doomed.

Why does McCain persist in making that awful wink and also making that gross flicking of his tongue - it is reminiscent of a reptile flicking it's tongue. uugghhh!
Please, will one of you McCain trolls let McCain know that making weird facial expressions only makes him look like a gargole.

Let me see. We're supposed to feel sorry for a bunch of Republican Lobby'st. You guys are a bunch of whores. What, you want a kiss too?

"My friends, I am a flip-flopper. I will kiss the @$$ of anyone just to have one last *gasp* at being President. Honor be damned"

Shut up, John. Go play with Cindy's money.

There are no thanks from McCain. He is in it for John. Tossing people under the bus is nothing. Once your usefulness is over or you become a liability, out you go. This also applies to the voters. This type of politician is dangerous, do not underestimate what he will do for the White House.

The McCain's are not even loyal to their adopted daughter!
McCain does not appear with his adopted brown skinned daughter and never mentions her.
In fact the McCains have even kept their brown skinned adopted daughter away from those famous McCain family BBQ's that the McCain's have been hosting to court the main stream media and republican campaign contributors.
McCain and his wife will toss anyone under the bus - just look at how the McCains have tossed their adopted brown skinned daughter under the bus in order to court agents of intolerence.
What a wonderful family values image they are presenting by tossing aside their adopted daughter.

Is there any general disclosure of registered lobbyist and who they have lobbied to and on whose behalf.

Is that a database worth developing or is that something that needs to remain confidential ?

The american league of lobbyists is the lobbying association for lobbyists. Maybe they could help. I'm sorry. I'm being sarcastic. I just find it ludicrous that these cretins have their own lobby.
12:38 AM on 05/22/2008
and apparantly their own presidential nominee!

Poor lobbyist babies. They can't buy policy?? You mean the policies have to be for the People instead of the corrupt Special Interests. WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Remind me somebody said words don't have power? In surgery they say the word is mightier than the knife. I now strongly believe more than ever that change is gonna come no matter what. I cannot wait for November to come and go.
