Two of Sen. John McCain's top advisers and fundraisers are among several Republican and Democratic presidential campaign officials whose lobbying firms have been paid more than $15 million by foreign governments since 2005.
The firms of McCain senior adviser Charlie Black, who until recently was the chairman of Washington-based BKSH & Associates, and campaign co-chairman Thomas G. Loeffler, who heads the Loeffler Group in San Antonio, received millions of dollars lobbying the White House, Congress and others as agents of nearly a dozen foreign clients in recent years.

c Rob Allyn, head of the Dallas-based Allyn & Co., a public relations, advertising and political media firm, who was paid $720,000 by the Mexican government in 2006 to polish its image and call for a guest worker program for millions of Mexican nationals illegally in the United States.
The lobbying efforts came at a time Congress and the White House were debating comprehensive immigration-reform legislation, which was defeated in June. Then-President Vicente Fox was an outspoken critic of the proposed legislation.
Mr. Black and Mr. Loeffler also are listed by Mr. McCain's campaign Web site as bundlers, expected to collect thousands of dollars in donations from several sources to bypass federal election laws limiting individual contributors to a $2,300 maximum donation.

“Remember in 1996 how would we couldn’t figure out why any Democrat would vote for a guy like Clinton with all his baggage. Well, I have met the enemy and his is us. Our team is doing the same damned brain dead thing in 2008.”
You’ve noticed that too, I see!
Yep. (Hangs shaking head)
It is obvious McCain has a great deal he wants keep hidden. The GOP chose this pathetic clown and agent of foreign interest to run for POTUS? Maybe the idea was to help Hillary in return for the Democrats giving us Kerry last time.
And that is so very stupid of him. He may think he can keep stuff hidden, but he would be sorely underestimating his critics.
Everything he does can be spread across the nation (and the world) in a nanosecond.
My advice to McC is better think again---angering his critics is NOT a good idea.
People, anyone that would hire Juan Hernandez to work for his campaign, is no friend to the US citizens. People like John and Juan, get a trip out of sticking the loss of US sovereignty in the faces of US citizens. John and Juan, make me ashamed of ever being for the GOP.
We need to dump all of these candidates. The time is now.
All this BS about McCain, forget it, he hates US citizens and will fill his coffers at the expense of making taxpayers pay for Gorebal warming and globalist enrichment.
I could care less about the new GOP, they are as bad as the democrats.
Exactly.
