Why is it some people are struggling to believe John McCain is a lobbyist's best friend? Why have we forgotten about the outrageous estimated $3.4 billion it cost taxpayers when the Lincoln Savings and Loan scandal broke wide open, and John McCain was the one in the Keating Five who didnt' end up in prison or with his career destroyed, despite his clear involvement? McCain's 2008 campaign manager, Tom Davis, is a high-level lobbyist, his campaign has no shortage of lobbyists and yet...we are loathe to accept this kindly old gentleman who so honorably served and sacrificed for this country during Vietnam is a habitual unofficial partner with the special interest groups that have so much undue influence in Washington?
The American people, as evidenced by the astounding grassroots response to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, are tired of being ignored in Washington while the mouthpieces of big business always have a seat at the table.
