Warning - Political Post
This post was on AOL in a straw poll thread for candidates and I really wanted to highlight what this guy wrote because it is something that to me is so serious and Bush/Cheneyish that people need to know it.
We knew it. Do people really want the same group of neocons to run this country?

Obama Ad Calls Out McCain For Employing Lobbyists

So who is right? The fact that the question is still debated is, in itself, remarkable. David Donnelly, head of Campaign Money Watch, a national campaign finance watchdog group, offered the following statement regarding the back and forth.
"Under President Bush, Americans have witnessed Washington and the economy work well for the oil companies, the health insurance industry, and the big money players who can afford to hire one of John McCain's many lobbyists. During these difficult times, Americans want their government to listen to them, not to those who continue the pay-to-play system. Sadly, John McCain's campaign, as this ad describes, is captive to big money lobbyists, and he has refused in this campaign to support comprehensive policies that will clean up Washington."
