McCain Hates Lobbyists?
August 20, 2008 by Mike Rushmore · 3 Comments
Politico is reporting that McCain is calling lobbyists “birds of prey” and says they won’t have any place in his administration. Then why, I am wondering, does he have 134 of them working for his campaign?
McCain is trying to steal Obama’s idea of change and say that he is going to bring change to the White House, but he can’t even talk about world affairs without being influenced by good old fashioned lobbyists. As most people know, one of his top advisors used to lobby for the nation of Georgia.
And let’s just say, that McCain does fire everybody that worked on his campaign and hire completely different advisors for his administration. A. Why doesn’t he just hire some of those advisors now? B. Why should we believe he is going to do that? and C. Who are these new advisors going to be and will they have the same positions as his current lobbyist advisors?
McCain is just creating more questions than answers and completely avoiding the fact that if he gets elected, it will be due to the efforts of lobbyists, in which case, he might owe a favor or two…
