Those resignations have been embarrassing for McCain, but I suspect this will be old news in a month.

Obama is going to need McCain to keep making gaffes when talking about Iraq and Iran.

McCain whole entourage, and McNasty himself as well, is knee deep in the whole lobbyist sh*t.

Keep that mafioso away from the White House, please.

McCain must not know what everyone else knows, his campaign is completely run and funded by lobbyist.

Oh no, someone is criticizing McCain's corrupt lobbyists, what will the world do. These people have monetary influences on some of the most corrupt governments in the world and McCain is worried about Obama insulting their integrity? Let's highlight the comparison in the story, McCain has a campaign full of corrupt lobbyists that have to be forced out vs. Obama being on the board of a non-profit organization and briefly meeting a man that 40 years ago (when Obama was eight years old living thousands of miles away) participated in anti-war protests that included planting bombs in EMPTY buildings. Remembering, of course, that he was never tried or convicted of a crime and is now a distinguished professor, author, and respected member of the community. Hmmm, which is a worse offense. I'm going to go with the corrupt lobbyists on the paid staff against the brief meeting.

The fact that McCain has asked all lobby connected members of his campaign come forward lessens the damage. Obama will be able to get some mileage out of McCains' gaffs and his steadfast stances on the economy and Iraq, but Obama is going to have to get more detailed in what he is planning on doing and not just try to hope McCain really goofs up.

Former Texas Rep. Thomas G. Loeffler, one of McCain's key fundraisers, resigned after the campaign last week instructed staff to disclose all lobbying ties and to make certain they are no
longer registered as lobbyists or foreign agents.

McCain's campaign on Sunday confirmed Loeffler's resignation.

Loeffler lobbies for the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., which with Northrop Grumman Corp. won a lucrative contract to provide air refueling tankers for the Air Force. McCain helped
scuttle an earlier contract that would have gone to a competitor, Boeing Co.

It is shocking that McCain's finance chair was lobbying for the eads..european aircraft that took away the huge refueling contract from Boeing and with it american jobs. and it is shocking that McCain used his influence to get this done

McCain is the reason why Jack Abramoff is in jail. McCain lead the investigation against Abramoff which McCain knew would hurt his party. McCain showed great courage. His campaign went broke because big business hates him.

McCain has called drug companies evil and gone after tabacco companies.

I hate how McCain has been smeared by the liberal media. Not once do they bring up the fact the big business hates McCain.

McCain passed his lobbyist test. He lead the investigation against Jack Abramoff even though it sent many members of his party to jail. K Street hates McCain. McCain went broke after the Abramoff scandal.

This is the worst election of my lifetime. It has become all about distortions.

The head of Obama's new hampshire campaign was a lobbyist.

McCain lead the investigation against Jack Abramoff.

I hate this election. It sucks.

Obama gets millions from 38 of the biggest lawfirms. These lawfirms also have the largest lobbying operations in the country. Obama is a hypocrit.

Harold Ickes, Mark Penn, Bill Clinton giving speeches in Dubai and Colubmia.

Obama won't release the names of staffers with lobbyist ties.

McCain should quit this race because the media will tarnish this good man's name.

Only in our liberal press the man who lead the investigation against Abramoff could be smearemd by being too close to lobbyists.

K Street hates McCain. McCain is getting the least amount of money from big business. They don't like McCain for wanting to import prescriptions drugs from canada.

McCain has gone after big business his whole career.

This election is all about lies.

It makes me sick to see characters like Dean who skied saying he had a back back to dodge the draft smear McCain.

What has happened to this country when people like Dean and Obama are allowed to smear a great man like McCain.

This country has been taken over by the far left.

I'm going to start going to all of Obama's townhall meetings and call him out on his lies.

Enough is enough.

Obama bring it on.

I am going to go to every town hall meeting you have.

I am going to ask you who was it that lead the investigation against Jack Abramoff.

I am tired and sick of the liberal media.

Barack has the most small donors of any candidate, no debate there. Therefore he is the least influenced by big business. Simple fact.

Oh when you call Barack out on his lies, I hope you can yell louder than 75000 people. Good luck heckling in that crowd, you'll get stampeded.

David,

You pretty sad. You clearly have too much time on your hands.

"McCain has gone after big business his whole career."

Ha.

Haha.

Hahaha.

Haha.

Hahahahahahaha.

Hoho.

Ha.

Hihihihi.

David, are you talking about the same John "Keating" Five, the same John "Vicki" Anderson, the same John "Charlie" Black, the John Lobbydobby McCain as we are?

He lead the investigation against Jack Abramoff? Berlusconi tactics!

John McCain is a lobbyist maffia boss.

I'm leaving the democratic party
for good.
I don't trust Obama.He is an opportunist.He wants to seige the power
in U.S to impose the left wing liberal
agenda.
I will vote for McCain,a war hero,very patriotic ready to be a commander
in chief.

Hey Nicholas, while you're leaving the Democratic party, stop on your way out at a recruiting office and sign up to serve. We're going to need more bodies on the ground so McCain can continue with the Bush policies of invading any country that we disagree with.

"McCain has gone after big business his whole career."

Hmmm... I thought McCain left his poor first wife to get MARRIED to big business, after CHEATING his poor first wife with big business, and before DEALING with big business via an incredible network of lobbyists...

I'm embarrassed for McCain, his campaign is making McGovern in '72 look like a contender. This is getting too easy. I mean people don't even buy the bin Laden BS anymore. What's left for John and George W. to scare us with? All I can say for the GOP is "Where's the beef?" Where are the terrorists John? Aren't you guys overdue for another phony terrorist attack, carried out by CIA assets like bin Laden? Isn't it time to set up some muslim morons in NYC, give them hardware, and arrest them for attempting to blow up a "dirty bomb, like with the attack on the WTC in '93?" John, your campaign is sinking, listen to Cheney, you've got tto scare the American people in order for them to elect you. Get on it! These poll numbers and party unpopularity, do NOT a President make.

McCain and his pastor Rod Parsley want to declare war on Islam. They have stated openly they support this. Will you help load your neighbors into the bus for the detention camps?

Launching war on Islam is more extreme than war on Islamic terrorists. It means war on 20% of the world's population. 6.1 million Americans are Islamic. A war against a religion is war to the death.

Presumably the American detention camps which are already built, will only be used to house our Islamic neighbors until they can be re-educated like some Chinese dissident. Hopefully it will not become an extermination camp.

Don't believe me? Google it!

These actions are in complete conflict with everything America stands for. Why are they not even being addressed in the election? Why is no one questioning McCain? Is this taboo? Is the media complicit or afraid to ask?

They brought Rev Wright up for Obama!
Where is the media for McCain?
