Sen. John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee for president, has been linked by documents and testimony to another alleged case of what critics are calling influence peddling, this time involving a minority broadcaster in Pittsburgh.
The New York Times last week published a major, controversial expose that insinuated McCain had a romantic relationship with telecommunications lobbyist Vicki Iseman, whose clients had a large stake in decisions made by the Senate Commerce Committeee McCain headed.

According to his own testimony, it wasn't until he decided to give $4,000 in personal donations to Sen. John McCain, who at the time was chairman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee, and another $40,000 to a then 30-year-old Iseman, that anything happened.....
McCain has legislated in favor of several other Iseman clients on issues dealing primarily with minority broadcast ownership. Here is the full list of her clients, who have contributed close to $100,000 to his campaigns, gleaned from Senate lobbying disclosure reports she and her firm have filed:
* Hispanic Broadcasting Inc.

World Nut Daily living up to it’s reputation?
This is the usual MSM tactic for Republicans. Death by a thousand cuts, regardless of the veracity of any charges or not.
Well, ya know, it’s not the nature of the evidence that counts, it’s the seriousness of the charge. October Surprise, anyone?
McCain was just trying to get the FCC to vote for a license for a Christian television network, but the Clinton controlled FCC blocked the deal.
The whole story is below, but like it will matter to you Bea, since you are blinded by your one issue.
WQEX deal wins at FCC, loses in the end(McCain, NYT brouhaha)
He’s a Senator! That’s what Senators do...all 100 of them!
The number one open border pushing amnesty granting poster on the site says some one is blinded by an issue.
ROFLOL
What are you going to do when they deport your little illegal Dane?
And what are you going to do when you are proven in bearing false witness?
My guess, probably hang yourself.
Nah, this is nickle, dime stuff the MSM will drop every so often leading up to October. Then they, with the assistance of the CIA's documents will publish on the front page of the NY Times the real bomb - the REAL October Surprise, and it's no ordinary crooked politician deal.

You have jumped from one liberal republican to the other trying to find the one that you think will deliver the best amnesty deal for your little illegal. Everyone here know that.
What's the problem you think the demorats will not deliver for you.
I thought John McQueeg was pure as the driven snow.
Go ahead ranting away org.whodat, I don't get in the way of those who dig themselves a deeper hole.
Would that be snow from Global Warming??
:)
McCain is crooked. Research his Reform Institute. A real crap pile, and a liberal one to boot.
No, snow from his snowjobs he’s responsible for on global warming, campaign finance reform, radical environmentalism, amnesty, and ‘human rights’.
Well given your screen name, you proclaim yourself an expert on exceretory functions, altough I thought your expertise was in urine, not crap.
