Remember when it was reported that McCain took money from lobbyists to get his campaign going again? Well, right after that, the media began PUMPING HIM UP! Coincidence? Mit Romney is a slimeball, but he has pretty much been using his own money, which is why I believe they haven't been pumping him up as much, because they want a guy in the WH that has to give them political favors.

Just a theory of mine. ;)

It's pretty sad. This info should be made very, very public.

It looks like the same bankers involved in the Federal Reserve!

He sold his "soul" (his principals) to the bankers just because he wanted to stay in the race so bad. Possibly because he wants some sort of revenge on people who hurt him?

"Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took a break from the presidential campaign trail in March to fly to a posh Utah ski resort, where he mingled with hundreds of top corporate executives assembled by J.P. Morgan Chase for its annual leadership conference.

McCain’s appearance at the Deer Valley event, arranged by J.P. Morgan Vice Chairman James B. Lee Jr., a top McCain fundraiser, put him in a room with the chief executives of companies such as General Electric, Xerox and Sony. It was, Lee said, “a chance for him to let them see him for who he is and possibly decide to support him.” The effort paid off: J.P. Morgan executives have donated $56,250 to McCain’s campaign, two-thirds of which came after his Utah appearance. And his visit there was quickly followed up by dozens of smaller private meetings with corporate executives in New York City arranged by leading Wall Street figures. […]

As a presidential candidate this year, McCain has found himself assiduously courting both lobbyists and their wealthy clients, offering them private audiences as part of his fundraising. He also counts more than 30 lobbyists among his chief fundraisers, more than any other presidential contender."

yup, right after that, all those newspapers endorsed him in the same time! It was all the media talked about, until McCain's poll numbers put him in the lead. It's incredible. Our system is totally rigged, no one can deny it. I saw McCain go from a deadheat with Ron Paul, to the "frontrunner," in just WEEKS. They pushed him every since day, especially right after Iowa.

"He's going to get the antiwar vote in NH" then the media proceeds to interview some misinformed, dumb lady. "I'm voting for him because he's going to get us out of Iraq" what a fucking joke!
