Disturbed by troubling connections and unflattering publicity, John McCain has just purged several prominent Washington lobbyists from his presidential campaign. Surely his intentions are laudable, but if Sen. McCain is consistent in ridding his campaign of such compromised people, he will find himself riding lonesome on the Straight Talk Express. That's because nearly all of his advisers, fundraisers and top staffers have worked on K Street, starting with his campaign manager, Rick Davis, and his senior adviser and spokesman, Charles Black.
From the beginning, the McCain team has been thoroughly infested with representatives of corporate special interests, from the campaign's national co-chairs, finance chairs, policy and political directors, and deputies of all descriptions down to the chairman of Young Professionals for McCain, who just happens to lobby for Airbus, the European aviation firm that benefited from the Arizona senator's long inquest against Boeing.

I’ll be away from the computer until 7 this evening (PST) - but feel free to do so, if you wish.
When the MSM have finished "mavericking" him, he'll be remembering his Viet Cong captors with tenderness and affection.
10 points and 50 electoral college votes, lib.
Here it, believe it.
Getting rid of Juan Hernandez would go a long way to curing that, imo (in fact, I would go so far as to say that the elephant in your picture could be replaced by McCain, the name on the gun with Juan Hernandez):
Juan Hernández, an old member of the administration of president Vicente Fox, dedicates most of his time collecting funds for the presidential campaign of the candidate of the Republican Party, John McCain.... "But not a word from either the MSM or the lefties about McCain Hispanic outreach advisor Juan Hernandez, the former Mexican cabinet official who lobbied aggressively for illegal alien rights and benefits in the US on behalf of a foreign government. He still serves as a fellow at the conflict-of-interest-clouded Reform Institute funded with money from George Soros while continuing to advance Mexico’s open-borders agenda and drumming up campaign cash for McCain, most recently, as I reported earlier this month, for Cinco de Mayo.Hernández, linked to “Friends of Fox”—strategy in which businessmen sent irregular donations to the Fox campaign —, serves as the advisor in Hispanic matters of McCain.
From an e-mail of a law firm in Texas, the former director of the Presidential Office for Mexicans abroad during Fox’s presidency, invited to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo festivals with John McCain, in Arlington, Virginia.
In the invitation a funds contribution format was enclosed, in which sums were asked that went from a thousand to 9 thousand 200 dollars per couple.
So: What about Juan?"
Maybe while your counting up your McCain brown nosing points tonight, you can say a small prayer for the MIAs and their families that McCain bitch slapped in order to show his affection for Bill Clinton and Jon Kerry by hugging North Vietnamese communists.
>>I would go so far as to say that the elephant in your picture could be replaced by McCain, the name on the gun with Juan Hernandez<<
And the elephant could be replaced by the USA, and the gun could be whoever wins the election. Hillary/Obama/McCain will all do their damndest to sell us out.
We, as a country, have gone insane!
Mr. Keating Five needs to fire himself.
Yes, the perfunctory mentioning of "neocons".
OK - so I finally got around to posting it here:
