[...] McCain has engaged in a pattern of flip-flopping on lobbying reform. Prior to his most recent reversal, ThinkProgress reported McCain has been soliciting contributions from K Street lobbying firms while talking tough against lobbyists, and he has been trying to scuttle the lobbying reform effort by adding a “poison pill” to the bill.

Oh and I remember reading a article about Jack Abramoff and I believe it was in a Vanity Fair issue but I’m not 100% sure and John McCain’s name popped up. McCain claimed to not know who Jack Abramoff is but now with this post from thinkprogress I’m wondering now if McCain isn’t involved with Abramoff? Isn’t he supposed to sing sometime this week before the end of the month? Abramoff of course said anyone who claims to not know him is lying. And according to this link ( http://www.perrspectives.com/blog/archives/000346.htm ) they’re going to ask all of the Bush pioneers to help McCain out and Abramoff was one of the top Bush Pioneers. Has anybody ever looked into whether or not McCain was tied to Abramoff?

This is just like McCain. He has this whole phony “moderate” image and the media kisses his booty all the time to make him look good and when the republicans have plenty of votes for something he votes against them. McCain only cares about McCain. He’ll do anything to get power and have money and influence. One minute he’s aligning himself with the “gang of fourteen” (dumbest political move in my opinion in general) and than he meets with Jerry Falwell to try to align himself for the fundie votes. McCain right now should be the canidate nobody can trust because it’s the God honest truth you can’t. If McCain thinks he’d get something and get a head in politics he’ll screw you over so fast. And I can’t believe Russ Feingold is “working” with him on lobbying reform (he talked about it last week on the “Daily Show.”) Well gee Russ now you know why the two of you’s so-called lobbying reform bill isn’t getting through. They should check out the John Kerry and Paul Wellstone lobbying bill from 1996. They were the first to tackle this out (the nation had a great article about this try to find it if you can).

Only one Senator voted against the patriot Act and the Iraq War, and then took a solo stand to bring Censure against the President. Senator Russ Fiengold is the Super Hero this nation needs to stop the maddness that is leading the entire world over a cliff. Could it be that the congress was dealt a serious blow by the earliest stages of the illegal spying, in effect holding them hostage with dirt.

Could it be that Senator Fiengold is the only person in the Senate that this administration doesn’t have dirt on, or could it be that whatever dirt senator Fiengold might have, he might be man enough to face it and stand up for what is seemingly still left of this once great country. You don’t have to look very deep to see this current administrations agendas are and never were in the best interest of this country or its people.. America! Wake Up! It’s Now or Never!

For all you conspiracy theorist de-bunkers, we know we now live in a Bush World and from what we’ve seen so far, we know anything is plausible, possible and probable. You know,

Didn`t someone report that Mccain was going around with Bus h collecting money while others was getting blame for lobbing when he is the same as the other Reps.I throught he was different but not now. I see people still don`t see him as a true Rep.

The immoral Right expose themselves a little with each utterance or action. This man should be slung unto the garbage pile of history as the insidious snake he is. A vote for him would means a continuation along the destructive path the criminals ruling the country have taken.

I never look at or think about McCain without remembering his cruel joke about Chelsey Clinton who at the time was just 12 or 13. That, I think, showed his true character.

McCain is a phony moderate. During the 2004 campaign he praised Bush for his fiscal and military leadership. It is all just an act, McCain is a fascist just like Bush.

McCain always was a typical Republican. In 1998, he strong armed Reagan National Airport into craming in an extra 48 flights per week in an already over crowed flight load.

Now there is less room for error, endangering passengers and everything in the flight paths. Plus the increased noise at earlier and later times is a strain on local residents.

Lesson for the dems., more than likely the media won’t like you unless you are repub. calling yourself dem. I hope dems. have learned that lesson. Howard Dean would have done much better than Kerry in ‘04 because he was anti war and fiscally conservative. If dems. could see what the media is doing and vote with their gut feeling. Feingold would be our next president. Is any CEO or upper level management given the Puritan test that our candidates are? How many owners of companies are real real interested in potential management positions based on sex lives. And passing interest in ability and integrity.

Obama should publicly rake him over the coals for this one, in light of their heated exchange earlier this month. And yet, McCain remains a media darling. Could there be a lesson here for the Dems?

McCain sure loves that “firebrand” and maverick” label. In reality he’s a neocon suckup. End of story.

Now here’s one former Republican EVERYONE can get behind:

Clint Curtis is mounting a congressional bid in Florida against Tom Feeney. As many of you know, Curtis was the programmer hired by Feeney to write election-stealing software a few years back. Since then, much has happened, including the suspicious death of the Florida Inspector General Raymond Lemme looking into the matter and the total media clampdown of any serious discussion of electronic election manipulation in Florida and across the nation. Curtis, a former Republican, became so disgusted by what he saw that he became a whistleblower. The whole sordid tale is chronicled on http://www.bradblog.com.

Here’s Curtis in his own words:

My name is Clint Curtis. I am running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 24th Congressional District. This great district is currently represented by one of the most corrupt politicians in history. Having personally attended closed-door meetings where Tom Feeney spoke candidly about his aspirations of corruption forces me to provide this district with an alternative to this man. I will need your help.

http://www.clintcurtis.com

Curtis promises to fight for fair elections and clobber corruption. He is the ONLY candidate who will take it to the NeoCons on the issue of election fraud. And he needs our help. He’s got to raise $10K in the next two weeks to get on the ballot.

I believe Curtis may be the single most important candidate for the progressive community to promote. Please visit his web site and offer to help, donate even $5 if you can spare it, and help spread the word. It’s time to TAKE BACK AMERICA–and Mr. Curtis may be own only chance of overcoming a rigged election system.
