McCain "Proud" Of His Adviser's Georgia Lobbying

USA Today:

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain told USA TODAY on Sunday that he has no problem with his top foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann's past lobbying work.

The fighting between Russia and Georgia has brought renewed attention to Scheunemann and the lobbying firm he founded, Orion Strategies, which received more than $730,000 from Georgia since 2001, records show.

Scheunemann's role as lobbyist and campaign adviser came to light in May, when USA TODAY reported he had contacted McCain's Senate office on Georgia's behalf last year while he was working for the campaign.

I am ashamed for this guy who wants to be President of this United States. He scares the living h$ll out of me. To think these people who MC says he is proud of to be on his campaign, running his campaign, making policy for this country, shows his intelligence, of which he has none. What kind of country are we running??? Why does everyone sit and do nothing, knowing what is happpening? I think I am going to move out of this cuontry. I am scared as h$ll!!!!!!

Mac's Georgian buddy tried to do him a favor that backfired.

I think we should just start voting for the lobbyists and skip the politicians. Seems like the process is too convoluted by the middelmen politicians

Well, ya know, McCain was born in Panama. He isn't really American......

So perhaps what we need to do is give the people of Darfur money to give McCain lobbyists and then he'll stand up for them too. . .

If Shineonman has been able to get $800K from Shakeyerwilly, then fellow con man Johnny (I'm a POW) Onenote has to have respect for that.

Is Senator Songbird proud of Phil Gramm funneling billions to Russia due to his slipping the Enron loophole through the Senate..allowing the price gouging of Americans for Oil and Gas and aiding Russia in it's expansionist policies..?

[Meggie]
