Comments on: GOP Leader Quits Over Myanmar Junta Ties

Lobbyist Picked By McCain To Be Republican Convention Coordinator Also Worked For Military Government

[eddynewhope]

Hahahahah - Vote for John McCain for another "100 years in Iraq" so that we can fight Iran where they are "training Al Qaida.... I mean terrorists." Then again, John Bush... I mean John McCain can "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" and start another war! Oh joy! It''ll be our last "war for oil" as John put it before taking his afternoon nap. LOL

MM the GOP had their cameras so far up Obamas connections they failed to mend their own. For a group of people who say they represent american values they sure are hypocritical. How many republicans have been involved in sexual activities cheating on wives with men or *** scandals? If the worse you can find on obama is a cooky pastor than the GOP is headed for trouble

[crater7]

OBAMA BOAST: HE IS "THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT ISN''T TAKING A DIME FROM WASH. LOBBYIST," YET, HIS FUND RAISING TEAM INCLUDES 38 MEMBERS OF LAW FIRMS THAT WERE PAID $138 MILLION LAST YEAR TO LOBBY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THESE LAWYERS INCLUDING 10 FORMER FEDERAL LOBBYIST HAVE PLEDGE TO RAISE AT LEAST 3.5 MILLION FOR THE OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL RACE. EMPLOYEES OF THEIR FIRMS HAVE GIVEN OBAMA''S CAMPAIGN 2.26 MILLION.

IMAGINE THAT !!!

GOD "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

[trglazier]

This is just one of I am sure will be many McCain connections to unscrupulous characters. You don''t play the game in Washington for as many years as gramps has without getting in bed with all types of corrupt and downright slimy people (i.e. scummy lobbyists, corrupt government officials, and of course scumbags that you owe some political payback to).

[lindaredtail]

McCain has always been able to hide behind his military experience. I too respected him but now we begin to see that he also has connectins that aren''t so good. All of this will now be open to discussion. He might end up a bit tarnished.

"The Newsweek article also reported that some of Goodyear''s allies worried the choice of Goodyear could fuel perceptions that McCain is surrounded by lobbyists."

Perceptions hell! McCain is bought and paid for by lobbyists!

[mcvet]

Isn''t THIS how we ended up with "BROWNIE" in charge of FEMA??

[mcvet]

Both Republicans and Democrats end up being ****** for corporations and repressive foreign governments. Clinton made 109 million doing it. When McCain retires he will do it to. Nothing but ******. And Gov. Spitzer had to resign for sleeping with a ***, which is actually the smallest offense...

McCain was one of the Keating 5.
McCain, who can barely touch the top of his head because his shoulders were repeatedly dislocated by his Vietnamese captors, commended Bush for vetoing an anti-torture bill.
McCain insists that we have permanent bases in Iraq, and says that shopping in Iraq is as safe as shopping in America.
I voted for Ron Paul, and consider Obama to be a distasteful compromise, but at least Obama is realistic about our situation in Iraq, hasn''t helped rip off old people, and thinks torture should be illegal.

[sgtrds]

Another sleazy republican? Say it ain''t so! LOL!

The more the media turns it''s attention to McCain since the Democratic nominee has been picked, the more McCain looks like what he is, a doddering old senile corrupt republican. More of the same from John McCain.

[moneymcbush]

It figures, a buddy of McCain''s has ties to corrupt government officials around the world, not just here in the US. John is no stranger to corruption, he drove the double talk express right into the savings and loan scandals, gave a ride to the Keating Five.

"It was our only foreign representation, it was for a short tenure, and it was six years ago,"

And the American public should NOT be offended by the above sentence??? Get a grip - this representation is what is TRULY REPREHENSIBLE and so is Goodyear and PARTICULARLY McCAIN for employing the DCI Group! If this is representative of they type of "checking" McCain will do as POTUS, what else will he do to sell out America???? McSame does NOT know what "straight talk" means since everything coming out of his mouth is "DEVIATIONS AROUND DIRECT QUESTIONS AND DENOUNCEMENTS"! He does very well with the term "MY FRIENDS" only, but since we are NOT his ''friends'', he really ''needs'' to learn another ''line''!

[prinzowhales]

Who''s the biggest crook, McCain, Clinton or Obama?

Who cares? Vote against them all!

[trillion1]

GOP the party of ethics and family values.

[pvperson]

"Newsweek also reported DCI has been a pioneer in running "independent" expenditure campaigns by so-called 527 groups, the kind of operations that McCain has denounced in his battle for campaign finance reform."........And the Straight Talking Express blows another tire.
