Some Republicans Worry About McCain's Campaign

  and they should be worried as they have put a lying, immoral piece of crap up for their Presidential runner. What with his lobbyist troubles of the past week or so, McCain's so-called " Reformer " image is taking a beating all over the Internet and even in the MSM, which is about time. The " straight talk express " is slowly but surely coming undone by its own doing, which is also about time that this happens.

In interviews, some party leaders said they were worried about signs of disorder in his campaign and about whether the focus in the last several weeks on the prominent role of lobbyists in McCain's inner circle might undercut the heart of his general election message: that he is reformer taking on special interests in Washington.

"The core image of John McCain is as a reformer in Washington, and the more dominant the story is about the lobbying teams around him, the more you put that into question," said Terry Nelson, who was McCain's campaign manager until he was forced out last year. "If the Obama campaign can truly change him from being seen as a reformer to just being another Washington politician, it could be very damaging over the course of the campaign."

  Damaging? This issue alone should be enough to bury McCain and his credibility on any issues that will be coming up during the remainder of this campaign.

    Straight-talker indeed!

John McCain's Lobbyist Woes

   You'd think that the " straight talker " would finally admit that he is in the pocket of those lobbyist who are volunteering in his campaign for president. But noooooooo...this old fuck is still trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes even after having to fire or to force the resignations of a few of these creeps.

   If the American public can't see by now that McCain is nothing but a hypocrite and a constant liar, like his buddy Bush, then there is no hope for this country.

   But wait, there's more...

Charles R. Black Jr., the senior adviser to Republican John McCain whose work for foreign dictators has led Democrats to call for his ouster, is not the only lobbyist in the family volunteering on the senator from Arizona's presidential campaign.

His wife, Judy Black, is a national co-chair of the fundraising group "Women for McCain," and she has a vibrant lobbying practice that includes a foreign client and several companies with business before the Senate Commerce Committee, where McCain is a senior member.

Judy Black works at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a firm that earned $12.9 million in lobbying fees last year. She is listed as an agent of Dubai Aerospace Enterprises, whose partners include the government of Dubai, according to forms filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Since 2004, she has also represented telecomunications companies AT&T and Global Crossing Ltd., which have matters before the Commerce Committee.

Question: Since McCain made a big deal in the past couple of weeks about booting lobbyists out of his campaign, how does the national co-chair of Women for McCain get a pass?
