GOP President Candidate McCain has recently had to defend his relationship with a Lobbyist well he has some 26 registered Lobbyist on the payroll of his campaign, Hillary has 11 and Obama has none....why is Obama looking better and better?

Maybe because he is too new to politics to have that built in "it has to be done for me" mentality and is still thinking "I have constituents that I have to represent."

Not a single lobbyist on one politician's payroll?
The IronTriangle cannot exist with one leg open like that...activate more borg, this anomaly must be assimilated.

Same thing I've been doing all my life... refusing to go quietly, speaking truth to power, going against the grain.

Lobbying should be outlawed!
The only "lobbyists" there should be are The American People.
They can sit down at their kitchen table and write a letter to their congressman or senators just like I do.
When is the last time any of you in here played golf with your congressman or senators?
And where do you think a lot of that "campaign money" comes from?
That is total corruption done "subtly."
Corruption is Coruption.
