Following up on yesterday’s post concerning how Sen John McCain’s transition-team chief had ties to Saddam Hussein (!), a McCain spokesman named Ben Porritt responded on MSNBC by telling the bald-faced lie that, “We’ve had no associations with any lobbyists on our campaign.”
Seriously. Watch:
Points for chutzpah! McCain’s campaign is run by a Freddie Mac lobbyist whose company got paid $15,000 to do nothing but have the guy hang around John McCain. The Washington Post even ran a frontpage piece in February detailing all of McCain’s ties to lobbyists. (Charlie Black! Mark McKinnon! Steve Schmidt!) You can see why the McCain people want this election to be about violent hippies. (Oh, sorry, “terrorists.”)

I will vote for Barack Obama because he can shape the world & the economy for the next four years. McCain is still living in the pass and we need a President who can project what we need from this point on as well as show use our future….I and all my friends & co-workers are voting for Barack Obama….Have a great Day!!! Now, I would advise you not do any shady stuff at the polls because we will be watching everything & everybody… B.L.Smith
