    So McCain is trying to make us think he is not associated with special interest groups. Then someone please explain what all these lobbyist are doing in his campaign.
    The Anti-Lobbyist, Advised by Lobbyists
    John McCain's Lobbyists
    How can this man go around the country and say he's going to take on the special interest, does he mean special interest groups other then the ones he's associated with? You folks that are going to vote for him, are you aware of this, what's your take on it?
    I could only find Obama using lobbyist in his state campaigns, 2 years ago, is it true he has no ties with lobbyists during his presidential run?

    It is amazing how McCain is trying to distance himself from lobbyists while, at the same time, keeping so many lobbyists so close and having lobbyists make up such a large percentage of the campaign staff, and while having lobbyists in high positions within his campaign.

    I don't get it. So what if he has lobbyists in his campaign? Not all lobbyists are bad news, lobbyists simply voice an opinion in order to sway their Congressmen one way or the other. Is this not true? :scratch:

    TheHill.com - Not all lobbyists are crooked, and good ones are invaluable

    Second of all, Mccain isn't the only one who has lobbyist ties. Obama is running on CHANGE, but he still has lobbyists on his team as well. It looks like we have another case of the pot calling the kettle black. :nice:

    Some of the planks in the McPalin Campaign being how McPalin is going to be Anti-Lobbyist and Anti-Special Interest, and how O'l Johnny has worked so closely with lobbyists in the past, and how O'l Johnny is going to bring great change to the Washington he had a large hand in creating, and ... , could have something to do with lobbyists being an issue with McPalin...

    I see you are switching things about Leftie, very nice ninja edit. Perhaps I shall join you.

    In any event, BOTH candidates claim they are going to CHANGE Washington, yet BOTH candidates have lobbyists in their campaigns. So what's your point? Are you ALSO not concerned about the Tony Resko scandals that Obama is involved in? Or are you once again showing us your close-minded liberal bias? :Zip2:

    If you were truely concerned about one's affilliations, then you should be worried about the interesting friends that Obama has accumulated over his short political career.

    Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama - Los Angeles Times

    Obama Worked with Terrorist [ref. Rashid Khalidi]: Senator helped fund organization that rejects 'racist' Israel's existence - Campus Watch

    These are people who HATE America and want to change it by committing acts of terrorism on innocent people. How nice. :rolleyes:

    The fact is that BOTH canidates NEED the special interest in order to get the MONEY to run any kind of campain. That's just how it is.

    At least McCain doesn't take support from FORIENERS. Don't forget that Barrak and Joe want to take your guns, and make it LEGAL for terroists to kill you, while John and Sarah would probally issue you one to kill terrorists.
