AMERICAblog: Yet another shady deal involving McCain, lobbyists and a major campaign donor

    Sadly, when you compare Billary's financial shenanigans with McCain's, he comes out like a saint. The DNC needs to stop supporting corrupt scum like the Clintons before it paints all Dems as criminals.

    John McCain isn't "influenced" by lobbyists - he's controlled by them. Put enough money in the slot, and suddenly Mr. Maverick will have a blinding revelation as to your position's merit.

    I doubt Rover is going to let HIS party go down with McCain in the GE.

    I look for a McCain health issue, like Cindy being forced to disclose her finances a la
    Theresa Heinz, and be replaced after the Dems situation has worked itself out.

    Who that will be is the question!!

    For openers, how bout...................................Hagel!! Now THAT would be truly Rovian, EH??

    These things are so complicated. We need to boil it all down to something more sound-bitey, which is sad, but necessary.

    Something about how his entire campaign is being run by lobbyists. These stories are mind-numbing in detail, and I work in finance and almost understand it.

    So how does McCain keep up the illusion of moderacy?

    Sticker girl, that is THE question. It is a combination of media spin and his background as a war 'hero'. (sorry, but I dont think flying your plane into a lake and getting captured has much heroics to it)

    Also, when I look at the current crop of wing nut emails, they conflate the whole of the military culture with honor and patriotism. Even as they screw the troops out of educational benefits (which is astounding, since most of the previous generations greatly benefited from the GI bill) and cuts to the VA. It is astonishing.
