I guess it all depends on your definition of the word "does"? LOL
Bill Clinton would be proud, he has taught them well.

The word on the street is that John McCan’ts closest advisors are active lobbyists and freely admit to lobbying directly from the bus known as the “Straight-Talk Express”.
McCan’t states that the difference is that they are “good” lobbyists. Stay tuned.

They are all on the take. They are all bought and paid for . Posturing and preening aside.

Yup, the NYT story was just the segway into crusader McCain's world of finance reform.
But it is good to see some life from the press on Obama's dubious background with lobbyists..

WOW - Carville is really reaching on this one.
In other news -
... Lawyers donate to candidates election campaign.
... Doctors donate to candidates election campaign.
... People donated to candidates election campaign.
Oh my. Shocking -— NOT !!!
Way, way down in the article they finally mention that Hillary took in ten times as much money from the same sources.

There’s not a Senator or Congessman that doesn’t feed at that trough.

McCain is in the negative ‘news’ one day, the next day O. When will it be the hill’s turn? That would be a first.

Making one’s living as a lobbyist is far more honorable than making it as a medical malpractice lawyer peddling junk science to unsophisticated juries.

Keep peddling that McCain hate.
I guess you can’t wait for the May day parades with Osama and his lovely fellow comrade Madame Michele at the podium saluting the red US youth guard !

Lets check out the Osama meetings with every UNION socialist goon in the US and the trial lawyer groups. After all Osama has the most liberal voting record in the US senate .
So he beat out Socialist Bernie Saunders ! Why bring those facts up when we can BASH McCain again !

Pharmaceutical companies have a big stake in tipping this guy. With government run (or heavily regulated) healthcare in a Obama administration, it’d just good business practice to be at the top of a donor list. Outright government extortion.

It can’t be the university itself, but prolly employees that list the U as employer or may (laws applicable) alumni or associated groups.
