McCain: home of the conservative lobbyists.

Want to know who will run the government in a McCain administration? Here, from Kevin Drum, is your answer:

That brings to five the number of campaign workers McCain has had to fire recently. Here's the complete list:

• Thomas Loeffler, lobbyist for Saudi Arabia and various defense contractors. CEO of The Loeffler Group.
  
• Doug Goodyear, lobbyist for the military junta in Burma. CEO of DCI Group.
  
• Doug Davenport, also works for DCI Group.
  
• Eric Burgeson, energy lobbyist, works for Barbour Griffith & Rogers
  
• Craig Shirley, works for anti-Hillary 527 group that's not allowed to coordinate with presidential campaigns.

This is ridiculous. Except for Shirley, whose sins are a little different, all of the other four headed up or worked for big lobbying outfits. The press is reporting this as if it's just one embarrassment for McCain after another that he keeps finding out he's got lobbyists working for him, but that's not the story here. The real story is that McCain obviously knew these guys were lobbyists long before anyone pointed it out to him. You don't hire the CEO of the DCI group without knowing that the guy is a lobbyist.

There is your McCain government. All lobbyists, working for special Republican interests. These people are not working for American interests, just for their own.

Vote for McCain and you get a Republican government bought and paid for by special interests who don't give a damned about most Americans. They are with McCain to feather their own nests, nothing more. And McCain allows them into his inner circles until he and they are caught.
