Aren't lobbyists prostitutes?

Doesn't PAC stand for Payoffs And Corruption?

Sam that's a pretty broad statement isnt it?

Now the New York Times is reporting a story of events that took place during the 2000 elections. Here is the story:



Does John McCain have a "character deficit"?

The New York Times endorsed John McCain. Is this story's timing political? (C'mon, of course it is.)

Both?

Is McCain sold out to Washington lobbyists though he claims not to be?

What are some of your thoughts?


I have not read this thread and I can't stand John McCain BUT no I did not "know" that he had an affair with his current wife and then this lobbyist.

I have never heard that about his current wife and don't know if it is true or not. If it were true I would have thought the Dems would have made a big deal out of it.

I did read the NY Times article earlier today about the lobbyist and there was absolutely no evidence or proof that he had an affair. That is pure speculation because she was there a lot.

Perhaps he was just flirting, you know an older man getting attention by a much younger woman--nothing probably happened.

Any little thing is going to be a big thing during this election time-imo

Maybe this is the side step Huck needs! Go Huck!

As far as the Dem go---I'd rather Billary than Obama! That's for sure. Obama scares me. Really! I have a real unsettled feeling about him.

I really like Huckabee but he is about to undo all of the good he has done if he doesn't concede. As much as I would like him to be the nominee the numbers just don't add up and he should quit. It is mathamatically impossible for him to get the nomination. I believe after the Texas and Ohio primaries he will pull out. Hopefully this exposure will set him up for four or eight years from now.

I agree that as much as I dislike Hillary Obama scares me more. Reading between the lines I believe he is probably an out and out socialist. Without a doubt he is the most liberal Presidential canidate to ever be this close to a major party's nomination.

I think his wifes statement that her husbands political success is the FIRST time she has been proud of America in her adult life speaks volumes. That is the victim mentality at it's worst. If she doesn't think America has done anything to deserve her pride all of her adult life then she has no business as the first lady of America.

I know me too, and something about those 2 in the white house worries me, besides he has no experience, but basically leans on his ability to stir up a crowd.

With all her collegiate back ground, that was a really stupid thing for her to say! Can you imagine her hosting foreign dignitaries? It will be disastrous! With all the time she spent at Harvard--you think she would know better.

What is this, the National Enquirer?

We dont know that McCain had an affair with a lobbyist. Even the NYTimes isn't saying he did, although thats seems to be the conclusion they want their readers to reach. Right now its just innuendo and supposition.

Maybe he did, but maybe he did not. But how about we wait and see how the facts develop, before we go announcing the man had an affair?

Opps I'll place a question mark, if that helps any.

Well I rephrased it.

This is election time and I am sure people will be posting link to all kind of alleged misbehaving by both sides.

I do not think anyone here is accusing McCain of an affair.
