MSNBC reports that McCain: Reports of ties to lobbyist are untrue

Well, that's good enough for me.
If the 'straight talk distress' says it, it must be true.

Cuz we know, if it were true he'd have come out and said it was true. :sarcasm: :eyes:

or gagging

Besides there is no romance in fucking. So he's right in so many ways.

"Yeah, I fucked her good."

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

If he actually had the balls to say he banged her for six months and pretended to give her favors so he could continue to get into her pants I'd actually consider voting for the old shit.

I'd consider voting for him, but never actually do it.

A) the right-wing base, which hates the NYT more than they hate McCain, becomes solidly in his camp.

B) All negative McCain stories in the NYT between now and November get completely discounted.

C) McCain camp now has open license to put similar stories about Obama or Clinton out there.


This story is the "Dan Rather 2004 flap" all over again.


It was a brilliant play by the McCain camp. Give them credit, and do NOT underestimate them.

It will be about the timing of the release of the story and NOT whether it is true

The lobbyist ties will be forgotten.

But it's fun while it lasts. :)

McCain Comments Distort FCC Matter

from Iseman's client.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080221/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_lobbyist

In late 1999, McCain twice wrote letters to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Florida-based Paxson Communications — which had paid Iseman as its lobbyist — urging quick consideration of a proposal to buy a television station license in Pittsburgh. At the time, Paxson's chief executive, Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson, also was a major contributor to McCain's 2000 presidential campaign.

McCain did not urge the FCC commissioners to approve the proposal, but he asked for speedy consideration of the deal, which was pending from two years earlier. In an unusual response, then-FCC Chairman William Kennard complained that McCain's request "comes at a sensitive time in the deliberative process" and "could have procedural and substantive impacts on the commission's deliberations and, thus, on the due process rights of the parties."

McCain wrote the letters after he received more than $20,000 in contributions from Paxson executives and lobbyists. Paxson also lent McCain his company's jet at least four times during 1999 for campaign travel.

RIGHT?

Where is the DOJ?











Oh, I forget, he is kissing bu$h's ass and will not touch a republicon.

this whole thing stinks like a rotten fish, conventional wisdom states that this is MSM
testing the waters to see if McCain has the Obama finesse, this is not about sex or lobbyist,
its about seeing how the public would react to a scandal on McLovin.

They already know Obama rides them with ease, they are testing the response machine, its called
reverse psychology. Throw a dirt and see if it gets a play. Then counter your attack, this is
like a bait for the Dem candidate. We shall see.

This is not the real dirt, this is a cover for the dirt that will take him down.

But then again, I could be completely off......:shrug:
