Lobbyist Reports Show $181,000 for McCain

Registered lobbyists have donated large amounts of money to Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign, even as he denounces their profession. But Democratic candidates for Congress have also raised prodigious sums from lobbyists, outdoing the Republicans, according to reports filed for the first time under a new ethics law.

In total, lobbyists and trade groups have reported giving about $10.4 million to presidential and Congressional candidates in the first half of this year.

Another reason to stay away from McCain. $181,000 is a lot of money to be receiving from lobbyists. What do you think they will want in return?

This needs to be made ILLEGAL. Obama has only recived just over $6,000 so far. The total for the first half of the year is $10.4 Million, absolutely crazy. This proves politicians dont give a crap about you or I and are just in it for the money and the power.

Another interesting quote from the article.

With just days remaining before the July 31 deadline for reports, lobbyists have disclosed contributions of $4.7 million to Democrats and $3.3 million to Republicans.

Lobbyists gave $181,500 to the campaign committee for Senate Democrats, nearly three times the amount reported in donations to the Senate Republican committee. Lobbyists have reported $108,000 in contributions to the campaign committee for House Democrats, about 20 percent more than they reported giving to the House Republican committee.

Just remember that Senate Democrats, which Obama is a member, are 3 times more corrupt than Senate Republicans, which McCain is a member.

and this means what that we should vote for the least corrupt scumbag?
What it means to me is they all should be thrown out.
