John McCain’s Army Of 112 Lobbyists

It’s not so much a presidential campaign as it is a lobbying firm. They’d be much more at home on K Street than Pennsylvania Avenue. Let’s keep it that way.

Over the last two days, John McCain campaign has lost two advisors who resigned because of their lobbying firm’s work for the military regime in Myanmar.  Unfortunately, these men are only two of 112 lobbyists who are advising, working for or raising money for John McCain’s presidential campaign. And they are not the only ones who have lobbied for foreign governments with headed by questionable foreign governments, including dictators.

    Sorry, look down the column to the heading, “McCain’s Manager.”

    Capsule version, Goodyear was chosen to run the convention, replacing the first choice who had image problems because he was a lobbyist for a repressive regime.

    I have heard Goodyear described as a longtime friend of McCain’s. But McCain had no idea what business his longtime friend was in?
