JOHN W. McCAIN'S ECONOMIC AGENDA IN THIRTY SECONDS

>


For several months DWT has been trying to make it clear that McCain's campaign is being run by a pack of lobbyists, at least 166 of them, and that they are taking gigantic amounts of money from unsavory characters and governments, much of it possibly skirting laws that prevent, foreign governments-- in this case Saudi Arabia, shady Eastern European regimes and Communist China, as well as the Russian Mafia-- from influencing American elections. The problem McCain has with people concerned about outsourcing and shipping American jobs overseas was viscerally highlighted this winter when McCain lobbyist/staffers persuaded him to kill a Boeing bid worth $100 billion in favor of a European company. McCain received more bribes contributions from that European company's executives than any other American politician. Their bribes paid off. That's a lot of lost American jobs. A video I found at Clean Money Clean Elections today illustrates the entire complex issue in 30 seconds. It's worth taking a look:

Tim Mahoney has sunk lower. From Democratic Underground:

''I don't owe the party anything,'' said Mahoney, whose election helped the Democrats take control of Congress. ``If anybody owes anybody anything, it's Nancy Pelosi who owes a debt to me.''

Mahoney partly blames the dispute over Florida's convention delegates for his commitment problem, but it's clear the real reason he's distancing himself from a liberal Democrat is concern for his own survival. The GOP spent roughly $2 million against him in 2006; he faces three Republican challengers in 2008.


Selfish asshole. All he cares about is keeping his Republican buddies from turning on him. Thanks a lot, Rahm Emanuel, we really appreciate the stinking bag of rotten meat you dropped on us!
