McCain's days of a "wink and a handshake" to his lobbyist friends are over.
..and boy are they pissed.
For years, McCain dealt with lobbyists by taking their money and offering them influence. After the Keating Five scandal McCain adopted the role of a “reformer,” who railed against the access given to lobbyists. (flip flop) Now in the 2008 presidential campaign, McCain flip flopped again, embracing lobbyists and hiring a legion of lobbyists to run his entire campaign operation. They never vetted aides, they never thought to check client lists, now they have started purging lobbyists-turned-aides. All these lobbyists-turned-aides who stood by John McCain last August when his campaign went broke are shown the door. Quote:
Yet another said, “I find it a little offensive. It was good enough to get my $2,300 donation. If we’re not good enough, then send my check back. It pisses me off.” I got one thing to say... ![]()
