McCain Aides Lobbied For Foreign Auto Companies

So let's recap. What is a lobbyist? Well, they're members of the Washington power structure who are paid to push through legislation for corporations and other special interest groups via the contacts they have with those in power. Here is yet another example of McCain's campaign being owned by lobbyists:

According to the non-partisan Campaign Money Watch, John Green, McCain's congressional liaison, earned $130,000 to lobby on behalf of the Association of International Car Manufacturers in 2007 and 2008. Susan Nelson, the Senator's finance director, made $460,000 lobbying for Toyota from 2005 to 2007. Tom Loeffler, the campaign's former finance chair (and McCain bundler) made $660,000 lobbying for Toyota during that same time period. While Josephine Cooper and David Vennett -- each fundraisers for the campaign -- have both worked as Toyota's in-house lobbyists since 2004.
