Bush vs. McCain on Lobbyists and Ethics

Bush vs. McCain on Lobbyist Double Talk

CNN ANCHOR: "...President Bush's spokesman attacked 'The New York Times,' accusing the paper of intentionally trying to torpedo GOP presidential candidates. 'The New York Times' does try to drop a bombshell on the Republican nominee,' said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel. 'That is something that the Republican nominee has faced in the past and will probably face in this campaign.'" [CNN, 2/23/2008]

[Inserted text: "But in McCain's 2000 campaign:"]

CNN ANCHOR: "Bush was fueled on his Michigan trek by a 'Wall Street Journal' report that McCain receives more of his money from the Washington area and political action committees than any other candidate."
BUSH: "It's important on campaign funding reform that we have campaign funding reform. But it's also important for people to know that my friend is raising money from people who have business in front of his committee. Nothing illegal about that, but I just want to make sure the facts are laid bare." [CNN "Inside Politics," 2/4/2000]

CNN ANCHOR: "For several days, Bush and his supporters have claimed Senator McCain has a double standard, talking campaign finance reform, for instance, while accepting private jet transportation." [CNN "Inside Politics," 2/7/2000]

MCCAIN: "We had almost no money when we were using the corporate jets. I could not get around from one place to another and meet my campaign schedule without it. Now we have a lot of money..." [CNN, 2/7/2000]

BUSH: "The reality is he is the person who has been the Washington insider." [ABC "World News This Morning," 2/4/2000]

BUSH: "What I need to do is make it clear and not let Senator McCain get away with this Washington double-talk." [CNN "The World Today," 2/4/2000]

I have not a parcel of doubt in my mind that if McCain had won in 2000 he would've been one of the most coveted Presidents ever.

As an example, McCain has 2 sons in the Marine Corps. I really believe he would not have gone into Iraq for them, but also because he had the wisdom to know such wars are foolish
