Lobbyists, Part 629,517

Put down your drinks and munchies for this one.  It's short, but it'll make you snort.

How many times have I blamed lobbyists for part of our political and social woes?  Oh, a few.

Now, one key republican says "No one in real America cares (about lobbyists).  But McCain cares."

Hey, I'm not in Real America?  Really?  Just how out of touch are you people, anyway?

I think we now know the answer.  Rrreeeaaallllllyyy out of touch. 

Get your fat butts out of the beltway and into mid-America.  You might learn a few things.  But Mr. McCain, it IS a start and for that I do commend you.

All you need to do now is get rid of Juan Hernandez, the former Mexican Cabinet official who just recently lobbied for rights and benefits for those here illegally.  And he did it at the behest of the Mexican Government, Mr. McCain. 

Oops.  Can we say ... "conflict of interest?"  Or "...the appearance of impropriety."  Helloooo??  Doesn't YOUR OWN POLICY state “No person working for the Campaign may be a registered lobbyist or foreign agent, or receive compensation for any such activity.”

What about Mr. Hernandez, Mr. McCain?

I'll say it again:  No matter who wins, we lose.
