I watched a Democratic investigator on TV last night. He said his committee investigated it thoroughly and found that there was no evidence, the claims themselves could not possibly have been true and there was no one who would back them up. Basically, even he was certain the entire accusation was contrived and was only going forward due to politics.

Gee ny times huh. Let me guess, it might not be related to a candidate from that same location would it. A candidate that has a history of negative campaigning. Naahh, it couldn't possibly be anything like that!

To sum up the story. a few of JM former staff "thought" he "might" have had an affair but provide no evidence of there of.

Sig states ......They have unearthed a wealth of evidence pointing to a possible romantic relationship between the two that took place back then.

I want the NYT to put of or STFU.
This was their way to bring up the Keating scandal with out looking like the Democrat lap lickers they are.

Because they wanted McCain to get the nom. If they'd run it back then, it is possible that the Mitt would have done better...they think John is easier to beat .. and in this case .. smear.

Remember folks, the Republicans are the part of light. They didn't do anything wrong, and if they did, they did it for the right reasons and you should thank your lucky stars that they had the fortitude to do it. The Democrats, on the other hand, exist as shadowy vespers, attaching themselves to the moral fabric of our country and vampirically sucking it dry. A black ichor runs through their veins in place of patriotic American red blood, and the baleful glances they shoot at you contain an ill-concealed lust for your freedoms.

It says right in the bible that thou shalt not suffer a democrat to live, so walk through life with your head held high, ever watchful for the damning influences of their steady encroachment, and don't forget to vote the party line.

btw, vote Ron Paul.

Hehe, I was just gonna say that when Bill did it, it was important, but if John did it, it is not.

Your version is much more eloquent:)

the question about McCain should not be one about inappropriate personal relationships. It should be about having a close personal working relationship with a lobbyist that has business being overseen by a committee he (McCain) was chairing at the time.

isn't that the job of a lobbyist? To talk to politicians?

Chairboy · « **Reply #25 on:** February 21, 2008, 11:40:16 AM »

It isn't the lobbyist who would be in trouble for this, they're just doing their job. The problem is if an elected official allows the lobbyist to succeed too thoroughly at the expense of his or her constituents.

some people don't understand what a lobbyist is.

A lobbyist is a person hired by a group to look out for that groups interests in the affairs of government.

John9001, your message suggest that you may be somewhat confused, I hope I can help. If the story was true, then the lobbyist would not be the one in trouble. The politician having the affair with the lobbyist would be because it would create the appearance of the lobbyist having undue influence on the elected official.

So again, yes, the lobbyist is doing her job, really well in fact. It's the politician that could be in trouble.

If you are going to make an accusation like that you better have the facts to back it up. Maybe its true, almost certainly its not from what I have heard.
