Everybody's Talking About John McCain

Written by: DFA Staff on Feb 21, 2008 11:00 AM EST

Last night, the NY Times posted an article on its website about John McCain's relationship with a lobbyist for the telecommunications industry:

"As his relationship with a female lobbyist underscores, John McCain’s confidence in his own integrity sometimes seems to blind him to potential conflicts."

--NY Times, February 21, 2008

Who knows what is going to come of all this, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that John McCain is the likely Republican nominee for president. Despite his reputation as a maverick, John McCain has towed the Bush adminstration's line on Iraq and he supports making President Bush's taxes cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent. He is not a maverick. He is a typical Republican. And, a McCain presidency would be a continuation of the disasturous policies of the past seven years.
