It's time to put an end to this type of politics. I think that the more McCain talks the more he will sink himself. Yesterday he was acknowledging global climate change, that must sit well with his core constituents.
tchef, "It's time to put an end to this type of politics", you had better start looking for someone other than the three remaining candidates then. All three of them are nothing but politicians and will say and do almost anything to get your vote.
There are pretty big differences among them. All politicians want your vote, some actually want to do more than just freeload off lobbyists though.
I think Bush and Obama both want to do more than freeload off lobbyists, but lobbyists are a fact of life. People forget that it's not just large corporations who lobby--it's also people from environmental groups, human rights groups, etc. Lobbyists also provide an educational component.
What we're seeing here is the corporatist lobbyists, and I personally am sick and tired of anti-science religious extremists destroying formerly booming parts of our economy and trying to get cultural myths added to school science curricula. I'm afraid McCain has sold out to this pack of moralizing thugs. Add to that the serious corporatists in big pharma and defense contracting and you have a mess.
