While Barack Obama fights foreign tax havens, McCain and his gang lobby for themFor weeks now, John McCain's presidential campaign has faced awkward questions about the outside activities of several top advisers. Add one more name to the list: former Texas senator Phil Gramm, McCain's longtime friend and one of his five campaign co-chairs.Has there been a single week yet since John McCain became the Republican nominee that he hasn't had a lobbyist working on his campaign exposed for some criminal act?
While McCain surrounds himself with criminals like former Republican Senator Phil Gramm who is "vice chairman of a U.S. division of Zurich-based financial giant UBS" -- a company that helps wealthy Americans illegally avoid paying taxes, Obama and Michigan's great Senator, Carl Levin, fight for the American people and the $100 billion in lost tax revenue.
The conversation tonight and tomorrow in the 'liberal media' and the petty wingnut blogs will be about the small-time criminal, Tony Rezko, who was convicted of 'bribing businesses seeking state contracts' while they ignore McCain and his buddy Phil Gramm who protect those who steal $100 billion a year from U.S. taxpayers.
Go figure.
