$15K per month for access to McCain...Priceless

I try to touch on the not so obvious subjects. I figure you can get the mainsteam talking points elsewhere, and by people who can deliver the news much more fluently than me.

However, sometimes a topic needs to be addressed, regardless.

Here is a case in point. Although, hopefully the mainstream media is on this, but I can't really count on that now, can I?

This should be the big news of the day. Hopefully, it will be. It turns out that Rick Davis, John McCain's lobbyist/campaign manager, has been receiving $15k per month, since 2005, from Freddie Mac, simply for access to McCain, so that they could keep deregulation in place.

You heard me right, they paid Davis $15,000 per month, for the last 4 years, up to and including last month, just to make sure that if/when McCain became president, they would have Davis, the lobbyist, in place to make sure that McCain continued to do nothing to get in the way of the deregulated predatory mortgage money grab.

Have you had enough of the Republi-CON "leadership" or would you like some more?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that McCain lied about this (surprise, surprise) as recently as Sunday evening on "60 Minutes", claiming that Davis had not had any dealings with Freddie Mac since 2005. OK, "liberal media", get on it.

There's a word for this...hmmm...what is it? Oh...yeah...BRIBERY...that's it.
