McCain's lobbyist ties

Would it surprise you to know that John McCain says he and Sarah Palin are going to reform Washington? It should.

It should surprise you that he has the sheer audacity to look into a camera, or at a crowd, and say that with a straight face.

Why do I say this?

John McCain has 134 lobbyists currently working for him. The companies they've lobbied for include such favorites as AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Merrill Lynch, and Lehman Brothers. Sound familiar? These are the latest business entities to crash and burn due to deregulation coupled with warm, gooey greed.
