TPMtv: John McCain Lobbyin' Blues

[MentalFund]

McCain principles. If you don't like them, he has others.

[eltinho2]

someone lick my puss

[eccentricXXX]

McCain chose Joe Lieberman for his running mate!!!!

McCain/Lieberman 08

[Tallacus]

McCain sucks, Clinton sucks, Obama rules!

[AdrienneTrouble]

And now it is the middle of May.. and NOTHING has changed with McCain!!! Need to do an update!

[Hukeshy]

from his bus... i dont believe it :)

[wawbwc]

The Federal Reserve. Close it down. At the 'Search' type in (two words) "Fiat Empire". Look for: The FED Is Unconstitutional 1 of 6. Watch all 6 videos.

[jokertim777]

That cinches it, McCain will be the next POTUS! He's got all the qualifications and just look at recent history:

Bill Clinton - Bold faced liar and lawbreaker.

George W. Bush - Bold faced liar and laweradicator.

With McCain telling easily disprovable lies, and making up the law as he goes, he's a shoe-in. My friends... you are too stupid for your own good, allow me to piss all over you just like the last two bozos did, only this time since you're used to it, we can stop pretending.

[wawbwc]

Why close down the Federal Reserve?

[MooseOfReason]

So we can have a dollar that's worth the paper it's printed on? So our dollar has more worth than monopoly money?

[MooseOfReason]

"Who's the witness? John McCain."

Why do Republicans always seem to support criminals?

[bigge525]

Yes swift2001, all the Republicans out there

are mindless drones. That must be why

druggie Rush Limbaugh and his friends hate

McCain, right? Is that why fellow Republicans

have put out flyers calling him a traitor?

Can you guys at least get ur lies straight?

[Swift2001]

Congratulations, Josh. You've convinced Democrats that they shouldn't vote for somebody they wouldn't vote for anyway. (Except for the lost souls who are choosing between Obama and McCain -- but some people just seem to vote at random based on cooties or something.) Will this convince a single Republican not to vote for him? No.

[cappynadine]

It's not a question of getting Republicans to change their vote, Swift. All Obama has to do to win, is to get out the Democratic vote.

[nothankyoumam]

Excellent piece. BTW, congratulations on wining the Polk!

[cyyoungchamp2times]

uh...hillary takes more money from lobbyists than mccain

OBAMA 08

[iTellYouNoLie]

Obama is just as bad as both of them

Ron Paul '08

[neverlookback75]

Can't we just put lobbyists and presidential candidates on "Moment of Truth"?

[Fringe111]

Josh, you always give the staight news on both sides. That's rare these days. Good job and keep it going. I also think McCain will be destroyed in the General election. I'm sure there's more to come

[fistnbone]

My one great sadness is that Jon Stewart continues to act like McCain is a straight shooter...

[bgabbs69]

Really? I havent seen that. He was making fun of him on the oscars.

[fistnbone]

Yup. If you check out his most recent interview with Larry King, he pretty much vouches for McCain.

[bgabbs69]

Wow thats very disappointing.

[surferelf]

Hi. This is Charlie Black, from the Straight Talk Express, I mean my mega-lobbying firm, I mean... oh, never mind.

[Sinistertino]

no mccain ad on the right side of the page on this talking point memo?

[Romeo1234567jj8]

mccain=draft

[RiceRocket95]

McCain is a shit face lier.

[RemiG2006]

So, nihili novi! Still crooks and liars!

[dozdolt44]

Once again, great work Josh!

[1DRock37167]

Thanks once again for reporting the REAL news that we dont get from the mainstream media!

[Drstrangelove17]

Wow...that's insane.

I'm still wondering how this election is going to really turn out (or how it's going to be played) until about june or july. And then, it'll probably change in August and September leading to the final push in the last couple months.

[cappynadine]

Heck No, Strangelove! McCain claims nothing more than to continue the exact same policies of George Bush: the Iraqi War, expansion of the war to Iran, doubling of the $trillion military budget, elimination of taxes for wealthies 1% of Americans and corporations, more John Roberts for the Supreme Court, more coal burning electricity producing plants, and privitization of America's national parks.

[Drstrangelove17]

election, not presidency. I know McCain is going to change his banter.

[alnewberry]

What? McCain is claiming to be Ron Paul now? No special interest money, my ass.

[MRFBluth]

Great reporting.

[BlueTunisia]

McCain is a monster! Don't trust that crooked basterd!

[cappynadine]

Surveillance is a very powerful tool our government has at its disposal in fighting our enemies, however, John McCain has been made to understand by a number of his contacts in the telecommunications industry that if the Government expects our telephone companies to bug our citizens telephone conversations, immunity from prosecution must be provided to them so they can properly do the work with which various intelligence agencies have charged them.

[vertigate]

GOOD info!! Can't wait for the follow up.

[JoeFelice]

It's an odd paradox that the consensus seems to be the Times article revealed important ugly truths about John McCain, and it should never have been published.

As if quality reporting slipped in accidentally between the salacious boudoir pulp The Times was focused on wallowing in.

Read it. It's 4 pages of corruption and a few sentences of romance.

[hypnofan35]

It already looks to me like the McCain Campaign is a some sort of system fix. That means highly organized cheaters whose entire lives revolve around duplistic maneuvering. McCain seems like a completely fragmented personality to me. Just wait until they pick some character to run as vice president then plan on that guy being the president. He will be a Dick Vader clone. i bet Joe Liebermann. Giulianni is too messed up and already has claimed his prize money.

[JoeFelice]

Lieberman would be a bad choice because it doesn't help McCain's weak spot. They need a Haley Barbour type so the Dittoheads will vote hoping McCain drops dead in '09.

I know that's harsh, but you know it's occurred to them.

[cappynadine]

Let's hope McCain chooses Haley Barbour of Mississippi! Haley's the kind of feller who'll fire up the voters in California, Washington State, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania! Haley's got me all fired up and he's not even been nominated yet. I'm all fired up!

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

thank you

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

PS see you tomorrow

[TrevorJNoyes]

McCain is a Racist Liar how can anyone possibly vote for him??? He will lead the American sheep to their doom.

[NeonKnight88]

McCain is as crooked as the day is long.
