What does Bill Clinton have to do with John McCaine''s land swap deal? I am so sick of everytime one of these right-wing crooks does something they bring up Bill Clinton. Are they stupid or do they thing everyone else is stupid?

For GOP "law makers" like McCain sleazy corrupt backroom deals are just doing business as usual.

Rowdy,,,,, McCain is totally owned by lobbyists, it''s no big secret.

I''m still pissed at McCain selling out our country with his Air Force Tanker deal, big time.

He actually said he helped Boeing -- He was active in stopping them from getting the contract.

Our Air Force now has suddenly joined the ranks of the politically correct & now say it''s a good deal, after the Air Force long time stance in the issue that Boeing would keep the contract...

McCain''s AirBus tankers are too big to deploy in area''s they are needed.

Land swaps are a normal way of doing business. If you want to do something in a ''wetlands area'' you have to replace that with property that mimics what you are developing. The same goes for habitats our federal land. I don''t even know why this is a headline. We need to get away from this "gotya" mentality and so does the media if it is something as silly as this.

You mean John MacCain, champion of morals and ethics, made a private little backroom deal to help further the agenda of a lobbyist friend and financial backer? Say it ain''t so!

What a bunch of c***... I guess this is all we will be hearing about for the next 178 days... look for any kind of potential dirt on a candidate and try to fabricate a misleading story... journalism today really is pathetic...

McCain: "I want lobbyists out of government, unless they''''re MY lobbyists."

Just like Obama? He''s going to BAN lobbyists from Washington, right after his campaign is over and all 47 of the lobbyists on his team start lobbying again, right?

When you have more important matters such as keeping the Rev. Tawana Obama out of the White House who cares about this nonsense.

The GOP is like that plumber ya gots to let in, in yer basement.. Where ya keep in the cobwebs all yer old childhood mattresses. And he sees the peckkkkerstains and goes: "I completely understand ya."

But in the back of his mind he''''s think''''n: "I''''m gonna get this guy fer a whole buncha money."

This type of business is expected from Republicans. With them, it''s always only and all about money...that''s the GOP party platform.
