Election - "McCain's
YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare." [2008 Election
Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain]
[John

[YouTube
Video]
"According
to Cliff Schecter, author of The
Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him And Why Independents Shouldn't:
"It is dangerous for a democracy when a presidential candidate can lie
with impunity, change positions on a whim, and physically and verbally
threaten others and virtually none of it is reported by a besotted media
eagerly awaiting the next moment when he might slap their backs in friendship."

Election - "Mccain
vs. Lobbyists." ... "Stung by the news that two aides
once lobbied for the Burmese junta, [2008 Election Republican Presidential
Candidate] John McCain last week rolled out a sweeping new conflict-of-interest
policy for his campaign, requiring all staffers to fill out questionnaires
identifying past or current clients that "could be embarrassing for the
senator."" ... "One top campaign official affected by the new policy is
national finance co-chair Tom
Loeffler, a former Texas congressman whose lobbying firm has collected
nearly $15 million from Saudi Arabia since 2002 and millions more from
other foreign and corporate interests, including a French aerospace firm
[EADS] seeking Pentagon contracts. Loeffler last month told a reporter
"at no time have I discussed my clients with John McCain." But lobbying
disclosure records reviewed by NEWSWEEK show that on May 17, 2006, Loeffler
listed meeting McCain along with the Saudi ambassador to "discuss US-Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia relations."" ... "Another potential problem: Loeffler's
firm started paying $15,000 a month last summer to one of its lobbyists,
Susan Nelson, after she left to become McCain's full-time finance director,
said a source familiar with the arrangement (who asked not to be identified
talking about sensitive matters)." -By Michael Isikoff

Hit Again on Arizona Land Deals." ... "[2008 Election
Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona] Sen. John McCain's ties
to the real estate development arm of his home state's power company continued
to prove nettlesome today, as a newspaper reported that McCain secured
millions in federal funds for a land acquisition program that benefited
the firm." ... "Earlier this month, The
Washington Post reported that McCain had championed a deal to trade
valuable federal land in northern Arizona to a rancher who then enlisted
Tempe[Arizona]-based SunCor Development to build as many as 12,000 homes
on the property." ... "SunCor's president, Steve Betts, is a longtime McCain
supporter who has raised more than $100,000 for the senator's presidential
bid." ... "Today's report, in
USA Today, revealed that McCain inserted $14.3 million into a 2003
defense bill to buy land around Luke Air Force Base [Arizona]. SunCor sought
the provision as the largest of about 50 landowners near the base. SunCor
representatives, upset with a state law that restricted development around
Luke, met with McCain's staff to lobby for funding, John Ogden, SunCor's
president at the time, told the paper." ... "The Air Force later paid SunCor
$3 million for 122 acres near the base, according to the report. It was
the highest single land transaction of the private lots purchased by the
government -- three times the county's assessed value and twice the military's
estimated value." -By Matthew Mosk

presidential contender John McCain on Thursday fired an energy policy advisor
who lobbies the federal government on behalf of energy clients, citing
a new policy that seeks to quash influence peddling." ... "''The campaign
recently severed ties with Eric Burgeson due to a new campaign policy that
prohibits any registered lobbyist from participating in any policy discussions
on the subjects in which they work,'' said McCain spokesman Jeff Sadosky."
... "The policy was developed following the recent dismissals of two campaign
aides whose lobbying firm represented the military junta that runs Myanmar,
widely condemned for thwarting rescue efforts after a deadly cyclone."
... "McCain's former energy advisor joined the firm of Barbour Griffith
& Rogers [lobbyist firm] in Washington in 2006 after serving as the
chief of staff at the Department of Energy. Burgeson's energy clients include
Southern Company, which operates electric utilities and nuclear-power plants
in the Southeast." ... "''Eric leads the firm's energy practice utilizing

Hypocrisy on Hamas: McCain Was for Talking Before
He Was Against It." ... "Two years ago, just after Hamas won the Palestinian
parliamentary elections, I interviewed [2008 Election Republican Presidential
Candidate John] McCain for the British network Sky News's "World News Tonight"
program. Here is the crucial part of our exchange:" ... "I asked: "Do you
think that American diplomats should be operating the way they have in
the past, working with the Palestinian government if Hamas is now in charge?""
... "McCain answered: "They're the government; sooner or later we are going
to have to deal with them, one way or another, and I understand why this
administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards
Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they
not only espouse but practice, so . . . but it's a new reality in the Middle
East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and
decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that.""
... "Given that exchange, the new John McCain might say that Hamas should
be rooting for the old John McCain to win the presidential election. The
old John McCain, it appears, was ready to do business with a Hamas-led
government, while both [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidates
Hillary] Clinton and [Barack] Obama have said that Hamas must change its
policies toward Israel and terrorism before it can have diplomatic relations
with the United States." ... "Even if McCain had not favored doing business
with Hamas two years ago, he had no business smearing Barack Obama. But
given his stated position then, it is either the height of hypocrisy or
a case of political amnesia for McCain to inject Hamas into the American
election." -By James P. Rubin

Assails ‘Appeasement,’ Touching Off Storm." ... "[Republican]
President Bush used a speech to the Israeli Parliament on Thursday to liken
those who would negotiate with “terrorists and radicals” to appeasers of
the Nazis — a remark widely interpreted as a rebuke to [2008 Election Democratic
Presidential Candidate and Illinois] Senator Barack Obama, who has advocated
greater engagement with countries like Iran and Syria." ... "The comments
created an angry tussle back home, as Democrats accused Mr. Bush of breaching
protocol by playing partisan politics overseas." ... "Mr. Obama delivered
a quick and pointed response, saying in an e-mail statement to reporters
that he had no intention of dealing with terrorists and accusing Mr. Bush
of using his visit, timed for the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence,
to “launch a false political attack.”" ... "On Thursday, other Democrats
leapt to the Illinois senator’s defense. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada,
the Democratic leader, called Mr. Bush’s remarks “reckless and irresponsible.”
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said Mr. Bush had behaved in a manner
“beneath the dignity of the office of president.” Representative Rahm Emanuel
of Illinois, chairman of the House Democratic caucus, accused Mr. Bush
of violating the unwritten rule against playing politics overseas." ...
"[2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate and New York] Senator
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Obama’s rival for the Democratic presidential
nomination, joined him in taking issue with Mr. Bush. Weighing in from
South Dakota, Mrs. Clinton said: “President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat
to Nazi appeasers is offensive and outrageous, especially in the light
of his failures in foreign policy. This is the kind of statement that has
no place in any presidential address.”" -By Sheryl

Pelosi's comment on Bush's criticism of Democrats while in Israel,

themselves from the President's remarks who aspires to leadership in our
country."

Sen. John McCain secured millions in federal funds for a land acquisition
program that provided a windfall for an Arizona developer whose executives
were major campaign donors, public records show." ... "McCain, who has
made fighting special-interest projects a centerpiece of his presidential
campaign, inserted $14.3 million in a 2003 defense bill to buy land around
Luke Air Force Base [Arizona] in a provision sought by SunCor Development,
the largest of about 50 landowners near the base. SunCor representatives,

assessed value and twice the military's estimated value. SunCor also donated
another 122 acres. Alan Bunnell, a spokesman for SunCor's parent company,
Pinnacle West Capital, said the donation was meant to minimize the company's
tax bill and enhance the value of adjacent property it owns." ... "McCain
has long-standing ties to SunCor and Pinnacle West:" ... "• McCain's campaigns
have received $224,000 since 1998 from donors connected to Pinnacle West,
including $104,100 for his current presidential run, according to a USA
TODAY analysis of campaign-finance data compiled by the non-partisan CQ
MoneyLine. Donors include employees of Pinnacle West and its subsidiaries,
employees' spouses and the company's lobbyists and political committees."
... "• Pinnacle West's Chief Executive Officer Bill Post, vice president
and lobbyist Robert Aiken and former president Jack Davis, who retired
in March, are fundraisers for McCain's current presidential campaign. SunCor
President Steve Betts, who joined the company weeks after the military
land deal, is a former campaign lawyer for McCain and has raised more than
$100,000 for his current campaign." -By Matt Kelley

troops, has run into some unexpected resistance, both at the Pentagon and
now from McCain, who has remained silent on the issue, saying he had not

- "McCain's
Convention Chair Worked for Burma's Military Junta."
... "John McCain's choice to manage the GOP convention this summer is lobbyist
Doug Goodyear, whose firm once represented Burma's repressive regime."
... "After [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] John McCain
nailed down the Republican nomination in March, his campaign began wrestling
with a sensitive personnel issue: who would manage this summer's GOP convention
in St. Paul, Minn. [Minnesota]? The campaign recently tapped Doug Goodyear
for the job, a veteran operative and Arizonan who was chosen for his "management
experience and expertise," according to McCain press secretary Jill Hazelbaker.
But some allies worry that Goodyear's selection could fuel perceptions
that McCain—who has portrayed himself as a crusader against special interests—is
surrounded by lobbyists. Goodyear is CEO of DCI Group, a consulting firm
that earned $3 million last year lobbying for ExxonMobil [oil corporation],
General Motors and other clients." ... "Potentially more problematic: the
firm was paid $348,000 in 2002 to represent Burma's military junta, which
had been strongly condemned by the State Department for its human-rights
record and remains in power today. Justice Department lobbying records
show DCI pushed to "begin a dialogue of political reconciliation" with
the regime. It also led a PR [public relations] campaign to burnish the
junta's image, drafting releases praising Burma's efforts to curb the drug
trade and denouncing "falsehoods" by the [Republican President] Bush administration
that the regime engaged in rape and other abuses. " -By

adds armor to vehicles as roadside bombs surge."
... "The U.S. military is reinforcing the sides of its topline mine-resistant
vehicles to shore up what could be weak points as troops see a spike in
armor-piercing roadside bombings across Iraq, The Associated Press has
learned." ... "The surge in attacks is putting the mine-resistant, ambush-protected
vehicles (MRAPs) to the test, and so far they are largely passing. Statistics
reviewed by the AP show that while bombings involving the deadly penetrating
explosives have jumped by about 40 percent in the past three months, deaths
in such bombings have dropped by as much as 17 percent." ... "Officials
attribute much of the decline in deaths to the increased use of MRAPs,
pronounced "M-raps." To date, about a half-dozen troops have died in incidents
that involved the new bomb-resistant vehicles, and several of those deaths
occurred in rollovers rather than from explosives penetrating the armor."

“smear” politics, and defended himself from critics who question whether
he is capable of being commander-in-chief, during a wide-ranging interview

Obama told Blitzer, when asked his thoughts about McCain’s comments that
the terrorist organization Hamas wants Obama to be president. “Because
John McCain always says ‘I am not going to run that kind of politics,’
and to engage in that kind of smear is unfortunate, particularly because
my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his." ... "“I’ve said
it’s a terrorist organization and we should not negotiate with them unless
they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they are willing to
abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. So
for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing
his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don’t need name calling
in this debate.”" ... "(Related: Obama:
World wants to see U.S. lead)" ... "On the topic of national security,
Obama said that the American people are looking for a leader with “good
judgment” — a trait the Democratic presidential hopeful said he possessed."
... "“Whether it’s my judgment on Iraq and recognizing that that was going
to be a strategic blunder, to my insistence that we need to talk not just
to countries we like, but countries we don’t, to my assessment in terms
of how we had over-invested in the Musharraf government in Pakistan and
that was going to be setting us up for failure later on,” Obama said. “I

Joseph Cirincione,
chief author of a book published by the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace on nuclear proliferation and the director of the Endowment's nonproliferation
project, "said at least eight countries have nuclear weapons -- the United
States, Russia, Britain, France, China, Israel, India and Pakistan -- and
three more are apparently seeking them -- Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Four
countries, he said, have in recent years given up their weapons -- South
Africa and the former Soviet republics Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan."
