McCain's Judas: Tom Loeffler, Campaign Coordinator
By J. Grant Swank Jr. (02/09/08)
John McCain informs that he will slice through earmarks and wasteful spending.
This is right in keeping with the Republican conservative loyalists.
Further, McCain has a firm history concerning this issue. He has been at the forefront of those championing significant slice and dice of pork barrel projects.
But get this contradiction: McCain lives alongside his campaign guru, Tom Loeffler. Loeffler’s lobbying organization has amassed millions upon millions by sneaking into spending bills their own earmarks.
McCain has his own Judas and no doubt knows all about it.
Dems will surely bring all this to center stage in an attempt to paint McCain an outright hypocrite.
In addition to complicate the situation, how much has Judas influenced McCain?
“McCain himself isn't exactly simon-pure on the issue. He has secured special funding for Arizona projects, including a $10 million allocation he sought for the University of Arizona to build a center honoring the late Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist” per Politico’s Jeanne Cummings.
The Bible speaks of Judgment Day being the time when everything comes to light - every word, every act, every motive.
For present-tense politicians, it feels like Reckoning Day 24/7, all of which is quite healthy for those of us who deserve a respectable Republic.
