John McCain gets sludged about “friendship” with cute lobbyist

Jump to Comments

Let the real political action begin.

The Obama-Clinton election race must be getting too much attention.  Soooo…  let’s create something out of nothing and pull that spotlight back onto John McCain.

Or is it really a matter of the New York Times making something out of nothing?  8 years later?  Weeks after they were pressured to not run the story?

Vicki Iseman is blonde, cute and a 40-y.o. lobbyist.  John McCain is 30 years her senior, stately, a man in a position of power who is soon to be the Republican nominee for US President.

In 1999, Vicki Iseman was blonde, a cute lobbyist and, at 31, probably without too many wrinkles and full of energy.  John McCain was 30 years her senior, stately, wrinkled and a man poised to challenge for the Republican nomination for US President.  The two were often seen together.

Okay, Senator McCain, I’ll give ya the benefit of the doubt about cute little Vicki Iseman just being a, wink wink, friend.

And I’ll give ya the benefit of the doubt as to the insignificant dispute as to the details of whether your aides strongly advised you to distance yourself from the lobbyist prior to your run for the 2000 Republican nomination.

But that doesn’t answer the questions about your public anti-lobbyist stance (crusade may be a more accurate description) and your private “friendship” with a lobbyist who represented several clients with business before your Senate Commerce Committee.  Yeah, the Committee which you chaired at the time.  Ya cannot wear both hats at the same time, Senator, or people will think you’re talking out of your lower end. 

Yes, I know, you are a politician and politicians make it a life’s work to talk out of the other end.  But Senator McCain, a big part of your campaign platform is about integrity and the ability to get the job done without the influence of special interests.

So, which is it, Senator McCain?

Are you a man possessed of more integrity than the typical Washington, D.C., insider or are you just another boor who is up-to-your-chin in conflicts of interest but trying to redefine the meaning of the word “is”?

Aren’t we all trying to get away from that shit?

  • “I did not have ‘friendly’ relations with that woman…”

  • heheheheheh… let’s not get too beavis’n'buttheadie about this but damn I am so fed up with the politicians who do a bit of side banging without having the balls to admit it.

    I’ll cut McCain a break on it unless something more along the lines of evidence shows. Still, there is the issue of his anti-lobbyist crusade and his allowing at least one lobbyist to have close and personal contact. Speaks to a business-as-usual attitude towards the voting public instead of any measureable amount of integrity on his part.

  • I didn’t find it substantive though the WAPO practically did the whole thing again today. I think the man will fare poorly though, something about him I just get put my finger on. He is like the preacher who can’t preach, the teacher who can’t teach or the man who can’t get it up.

  • I wasn’t clear on your question about the secret thing? And your bitchy comment control wouldn’t let me post my comment until I waited a sixty seconds.

  • Bitchy comment control?? hmmm… the secret thing reflects back to your comment re Kim.

    I will check my settings but it should be wide open with instant posting of commentary.

  • HILLARY CLINTON IS A BOLD FACE LIAR!!

    FOR PROOF, JUST GOOGLE: HILLARY AND FRAUD, or HILLARY AND PETER PAUL
    ALSO, WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO TITLED: “THE SHOCKING VIDEO HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOUR TO SEE”.
    THE VIDEO CONCERNS HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN FINANCING FRAUD COMMITTED, WITH A MAN NAMED PETER PAUL. THIS CASE IS CURRENTLY IN COURT IN CALIFORNIA. SOMEHOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HAS DECIDED NOT TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON!! Hillary Clinton is facing a Campaign Finance Fraud case in court in California. Apparently she had a man named Peter Paul do a fund raising event for her U.S. Senator election campaign, raising $1.2 million dollars for her. After it was revealed that Peter Paul had a criminal background, Hillary lied about knowing him, or receiving $1.2 millions in campaign financing from him. She also filed documents with the FEC, and did not report the $1.2 million dollars she had received from the campaign fundraiser, WHICH IS A FELONY.
    VIDEO evidence, and PHONE CALL evidence, and LETTERS evidence (as seen in the youtube video) is going to be presented in court in California in his lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, and she will most likely be charged with a felony.

    The mainstream press has for some reason been ignoring this story fact, but it is for us to search out the truth.
    It is imparitive that people know this information before they vote, because Hillary, with yet another fraud case pending, where there is physical proof of her participatig in the fraud, on video tape, will NOT become president, and will be prosecuted!

    Democrats need to know the facts so they don’t waste their votes on this dishonest woman who will not make it to the White House. This information is in the public domain, and the courts, and the Republicans will surely use it during the general election.

    WE DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANOTHER PATHELOGICAL LIAR LIKE HILLARY, AND HER ACCOMPLICE, HER LYING HUSBAND, THE WORST LYING PRESIDENT TO DATE, BILL CLINTON, BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

    THE YOUTUBE VIDEO IS A MUST SEE: IT’S CALLED –”THE SHOCKING VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE”,
    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR VOTE ON THIS DISGRACEFUL WOMAN, VOTE FOR SOMEONE WITH INTEGRITY.
