Comments on: Top McCain Aide Has Mixed Money, Politics

Washington Post: Rick Davis's Relationship With Ariz. Senator Has Been A Lucrative Commodity

[rowdywicca]

McCain is a dirty politician. He narrowly escaped the Keating 5 scandal, and has been walking a very fine line between barely-legal and corrupt activities ever since.

A vote for McCain is a vote for big Washington lobbyists. His facade of reform is nothing more than a cover for his true motives.

So the lobbyists up there lobbying for your rights need to be banned also.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I am voting for John McCain. He will restore honesty and integrity to the oval office.

McHypocrite. Run by Lobbyists, Owned by Lobbyists.

"Davis declined repeated requests for an interview. In response to detailed questions, the campaign issued a brief statement. "During this campaign, Mr. Davis has not received a single penny from any company doing business with the McCain campaign," it said. "


That''s not the question. The question is if the lobbyist has received money from any company doing business with the United States.

The answer would seem to be "yes".

Who cares if they did business with the MCCAIN CAMPAIGN?

Mr Obama -

Please do not allow Senator McCain to beat US to the punch on this ENRON loophole and energy futures gambling legislation. Please take time from campaigning to introduce legislation with STRINGENT oversight requirements NOW. I feel it is the one way that McCain could hurt our chances if he were able to make himself the champion of this cause. Recent polling shows the economy and in particular fuel prices the #1 concern. Thank you for listening.

Who fools around with lobbyists?

Oh Me, John "Flip Floppy" McBush. Lechon!

All I have to say is the John McSame doesn''t know how to use a PC or Blackberry - here he is saying it himself:

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/06/25/moos.mccain.doesnt.compute.cnn

it should be illegal for a person to be President of the USA without such basic knowledge. This is unexcuseable - totally out of touch with a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR part of society, world economy, leading export/import tool. I mean the list goes on. How can you make sound decisions on most modern issues if you dont know how to use a darm computer. I mean what the hell is that?!?!?!?!?! This is beyond scary

Implementation. Lots and lots of concepts on increasing efficiencies and reducing fuel use to generate power, implementing those concepts is a whole other thing.

We can''t even get a reliable CO2 scrubber on existing coal fired power plants in part due to lobbying efforts to stop Government regulation. The biggest problem with any advance in technology is overcoming the lobbying efforts of the existing technology that will be displaced or the industry that may have to shell out a few more dollars. Even trying to get the power industry to use technologies that will MAKE them money in the long run is a daunting task because they are beholden to stockholders who demand a profit every quarter.

I know where you are coming from nanc12. You ever wonder how sad a life a person has, when the most important thing they ever did was troll msg boards and clone other peoples names.

Seeing as how you continually post the same BS after you are shown your mistaken impression, it is obvious that your agenda has nothing to do with lyrics.

The first line of the quoted chorus applies to you, "this is that ignorant sh*t you like..."

"Do you really think Obama''''s lobbyists are suddently going to return to Washington and start lobbying for their industries to MAKE LESS MONEY? To give up all the loopholes they''''ve got? To pay more taxes? To fund the poor? To re-distribute the wealth?" Posted by RowdyWicca

Most likely not, but if such a group were to approach DC with those concerns, it is quite obvious that their chances of being at least heard by Mr. Obama are exponentially greater than their chances with McSame.

"Why wont Obamas campaign return campaign dontations from rap musicians that profit from celebrating the denigration and subjugation of women?" Posted by MCVet-

Probably because the lyrics you quoted have nothing to do with what you think they do.

Read them, it is obvious that the author is lamenting American hypocrisy, condemning drugs and prostitution, while drinking alcohol and watching titillation on TV.

This song is similar to Frank Zappa''s "I''m the Slime", which used another first person view from a TV media to criticize society.

Maybe if you learn to understand what you read and hear, you won''t make posts that even children can see are off mark.

I don''t see how any Republican with any intelligence could question the veracity of Barack Obama given the continuous lies, deceits, half-truths, and political spin, that have spewed from the Bush Administration for the past seven and one-half years. Certainly, any rational person with a little knowledge of history knows that we''ve been, and are being, subjected to the most corrupt and criminal Administration that has ever occupied the White House. And, that Administration has brought our once great country to the brink of financial ruin and disaster in addition to destroying the country''s favorable reputation built over the last 220 years. I''m white, and I can assure you that Sen. Obama has my vote for President. I say this because the evidence that surrounds us shows that our country is on the brink of becoming the largest third world country on this planet, and that Sen. Obama and a Democratic Congress provide us with our only hope of avoiding complete destruction. I''m also happy that McSame has been around for such a long time as his flip-flops on important issues, outright lies recorded by irrefutable sources, and his association with corruption (the "Keating Five") are available for all to see.

[nanc12]

Ah - I was confused, but now I see there''s a MCVet and a MCVet- posting. I was afraid you were bi-polar and arguing with yourself. These name stealers are pathetic.
