Update From the Frontlines
Posted on March 11th, 2008 by
A little update from the front lines of the conservative rebellion. Things are a bit quiet today in Conservative news - in part due to the prostitute scandal involving Elliot Spitzer.
As a general note, McCain is going to have to work hard to stay in the spotlight. Between the meltdown in the Democratic Party (roughly akin to a Jerry Springer episode) and occasional bombshells ala Spitzer - McCain will have to fight to stay in the media limelight.
But here’s a bit of news for your perusal:
- The AFL/CIO will use $53 million to elect a Democrat (ie. attack John McCain). Guess all that make-nice effort with the liberal Democrats by McCain isn’t worth much now!
- McCain tells us regarding his health, “everything’s fine.”
- The AP reports that some of McCain’s top advisors lobbied for Airbus to get the $35 billion Air Force tanker deal. Why is it that this guy has a reputation of being clean on campaign finance, lobbyists, etc. yet he was part of the Keating 5, has questionable dealings with a female lobbyist, has his own campaign finance mess to contend with, and now has people on his staff that lobbied on behalf of a foreign aircraft company?
