Comments on: McCain Defends Lobbyists Working For Him

Says Advisers Who Are Lobbyists Are "Honorable"; Declines Further Comment On New York Times Article

[watcher269-2009]

I Say F-McCain - he wants to continue the war in Iraq - These lobbyists are working for those companies.

Just look at this! Every Republican on this list is supporting this while most children in America are lacking HealthCare and Education.

How many American children could have had health insurance for $4.6 billion? A small handful of corporations, have made billions upon billions of dollars. The Iraq war is the largest assault on the pocket book of American citizens in the nation''s history.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Army has turned to private contractors to supply translators and analysts for Arabic and other languages in Iraq as well as other regional states.

The military has launched a five-year project meant to embed thousands of Iraqi translators into U.S. ground force units in Iraq.

The prime beneficiary of the project has been Global Linguist Solutions, based in Falls Church, Va. GLS, a joint venture of DynCorp International and McNeil Technologies, which has won a contract with a maximum value of $4.6 billion through 2013.

Is it ethical to do something that you know is wrong, but not illegal yet? McCain has consistently lived in the "grey" area all his life. America deserves a better president.

"Senator John McCain isn"t intelligent enough to be President.
He"s a nice enough man, but he"s doesn"t have the brains for the job."

Senator John McCain isn"t intelligent enough to be President.

He"s a nice enough man, but he"s doesn"t have the brains for the job.

[hsinco-2009]

You and your party has said bad things about lobbyists and now you''re defending them.

LOL

HAHAHAHA

Not a staright- talker here!!!

More lies and secrecy! Won''t answer questions.

Just like the Chimp.

[smirk5]

If McCain became President, I wonder which lobbyist he''ll put in as Attorney General and which lobbyist he''ll have working as Secretary of State. Evidently, McCain is a lobbyist w-***. He can''t get enough of them.

[greatdrivew]

Nothing but sleaze, double-talk and apathy coming from the GOP. Whats new?

[fairandbal]

It''s really amazing, this one story by the NYT is a total anomaly. McCain gets a total free ride from the corporate press. No one dares criticize the press''s darling war hero.

[fairandbal]

Newsweek is reporting that McCain testified in a deposition five years ago that he personally spoke with the CEO of Paxson Communications regarding Paxson''s business before the FCC. This flatly contradicts McCain''s denial yesterday that he''d had any contact with Paxson or his representatives regarding the matter.

The Double-Talk express keeps on rolling. Mr. McGoo for President!

[tibu987]

Of course, McCain''s a Republican.

I am not a fan of McCain.
I am also not interested in McCain''s love life 8 years ago.
I AM interested in the current important issues facing this country and who is the best candidate to
try to solve them.

I''m voting for Obama.

I was disappointed to hear that Mr. McCain expressed a wish for Mr. Castro%u2019s death. %u201CI hope he has the opportunity to meet Karl Marx very soon,%u201D McCain told a town-hall style meeting of about 150 people, referring to the communist who died in 1883.

Many believe that wishing death to others is not the kind of thing that good Christians do.

Stop being such a whining lying hypocrite.

[notopennshut]

As they say, "there''s no smoke without fire "--- and now how about more fact coming out? Too dangerous to play the injured party and deny before you go back and see what you promised and signed, McCain. Trying to keep mum and not respond to questions now is a bit late. It won''t keep the questions and more fact coming out.

[observantx]

John McCain = K Street lapdog

How far you have fallen sir. I''m sorry for you. I''m far more fearful for our country.

We''ve had enough of being sold out for campaign cash and plum positions after government service.

You were tortured for our country, yet you sell us out for $$$$$.

SHAME!!

Then again neither is being a lying hypocrite and an adulterer, but McCain is those things too, so maybe he''s not such a good Christian after all.

Equally important, Michelle Obama%u2019s statement aligns perfectly with the hate-America views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama%u2019s minister, friend, and sounding board for more than two decades. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America%u2019s racism.

Didn''''''''t slick Hilly have to defend herself for a lobbyist related issue not long ago. Didn''''''''t she take money from lobbyists or something like that? Don''''''''t get this Republican wrong, I don''''''''t like this one bit but, making this a Republican only problem seems disingenuous to me.

Yeah yeah we know... let US get away with it because we say the other guys did. LOL Did YOUR mother REALLY let you go on this argument? Mine certainly didn''t. Sieg Heil Bush... Oh but PLEASE don''t stop trying!! Having you Nazi''s on here doing this after the LIES of the last 7 years really helps my side. Sieg Heil Bush

[mcvet]

Let me say shame on NYT for the affair rumormongering story as well. Rumors aren''''t evidence, NYT!
