John McCain 2008: Not So Much A Campaign As It Is A Lobbying Firm

2:05 pm EST May 18th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 2 Comments

John McCain is just more of the same Republican corruption America has been voting against.

According to Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff, McCain’s “finance co-chair Tom Loeffler['s] … lobbying firm has collected nearly $15 million from Saudi Arabia since 2002 and millions more from other foreign and corporate interests.” Another McCain aide, finance director Susan Nelson, was paid $ 15,000 a month by Loeffler’s firm while she was on the campaign payroll even though “Federal election law prohibits any outside entity from subsidizing the income of campaign workers.” Time and again, McCain demonstrates that his calls for higher ethical standards seem not to apply to him and his campaign.

    But McCain said he didn’t have dealings with lobbyists. I guess that means McCain is a god-damned liar.
