And this surprises you how?

I'm still waiting for my check. You know, because staffers do all the work. And the politicians are just pretty faces and figureheads. So obviously their money is misplaced.

WASHINGTON — Both Democratic presidential candidates, who promise to curb the influence of corporate lobbyists in Washington, helped enact narrowly tailored tax breaks sought by major campaign contributors.

Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has accepted $54,350 from members of a law firm that in 2006 lobbied him to introduce a tax provision for a Japanese drug company with operations in Illinois, according to public records and interviews. The government estimates the provision, which became law in December 2006, will cost the treasury $800,000.

Disgusting.

why bring up McCain?

The good news is Obama promises to close corporate tax loopholes, so he should be pretty familiar with this one. He can jump on that day one (along with growing the fro).

Because SomeMildWillMonkAsshole is quick to disdain the hijinks of teh evil liebruls, but when confronted with the shortcomings of his own party, he turns a deaf ear.
Fucking hypocrite.
And I can say that here, so I've got that going for me.
