John McCain thinks you're stupid!

McCain's growing lobbyist problem

From John McCain’s website:
“Too often the special interest lobbyists with the fattest wallets and best access carry the day.”
And they all (112 of them anyway) work for John McCain!
Among [Thomas G.] Loeffler's clients is the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., the parent company of plane manufacturer Airbus. Northrop Grumman Corp. and EADS won a lucrative contract to provide air refueling tankers for the Air Force. McCain helped scuttle an earlier contract in 2004 that would have gone to a competitor, Boeing Co.

Loeffler's firm also has lobbied for other foreign interests and foreign governments. Newsweek reported over the weekend that Loeffler's firm was paid $15 million by Saudi Arabia. The news magazine also said Loeffler listed meeting McCain along with the Saudi ambassador to "discuss US-Kingdom of Saudi Arabia relations," even though Loeffler told a reporter last month that he had not discussed his clients with McCain.
The McCain campaign is pretending to be purging itself of lobbyists that they had no idea were lobbyists. They're liars!

McCain not only knew Loeffler was a lobbyist but he's been specifically 'lobbied' by Loeffler for the Saudis and he was also involved in McCain's strange vendetta against Boeing when McCain campaigned hard to give our military contracts to the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., over Boeing. McCain stated last month that Loeffler had never lobbied him and now it has been proven that Loeffler met with McCain along with the Saudi ambassador.

Is John McCain that old and senile that he doesn't remember working with Loeffler doing favors for the Saudis and EADS? He sure hopes you're stupid enough to believe it.

McCain is just another bought and paid for corrupt Republican and for those of us smart enough to pay attention; we know it's the same old corruption and cronyism with only a slightly different criminal in charge.

I'm not stupid, but John McCain evidently thinks you are.
