Job Killer, American Dream KillerYou’ve seen him all over the place. He’s been on Saturday Night Live and Entertainment Tonight. He’s really quite a celebrity, one of the best known people in America. And he’s known for other things, too. Like owning eight (or is it ten?) houses, jetting around in his $12 million plane, wearing his $500 shoes, being worth $100 million…
and helping to kill American jobs.
It’s none other than the lobbyists’ best friend, John McCain!
In Ohio, one of McCain’s lobbyist friends (he’s got a LOT of them) helped arrange a buyout of Airborne Express by a German company. The lobbyist was paid almost $600,000 by the Germans. McCain pushed the deal hard in the Senate. Now it looks like 10,000, maybe THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE in Ohio will be out of work.
But the lobbyist who helped arrange it is doing just fine. He’s McCain’s campaign manager now. The details are here:

TOO BAD McCAIN WANTS TO LET THE BIG MONEY BOYS RUN IT!
Yes, McCain wants to PRIVATIZE Social Security. DON’T BE FOOLED BY HIS LIES WHEN HE SAYS HE DOESN’T WANT TO. THE FACTS SAY OTHERWISE!

You can give a big “thank you” to McCain’s chief economic advisor, Phil Gramm—the ULTIMATE WASHINGTON INSIDER—the guy who, more than ANYBODY, caused the subprime mortgage mess! The story is here:
http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2008/07/foreclosure-phil.htmlYes, McCain is willing to outsource your jobs, privatize your Social Security money, and let his rich cronies and campaign contributors wreck the housing market. He’s voted with Bush NINETY-FIVE PER CENT OF THE TIME, too.
McCain would be a DISASTER for America’s economic future and a DISASTER for its working people.
Hey, but he’ll be OK. He’s really rich, so guess what? He doesn’t care.
He doesn’t have to.
