Which came 1st? McCain support for telecom, which then garners lobbyist support. Or lobbyist support for McCain, which then garners telecom support.
And that answer isn't as obvious as it seems. No matter which side of an issue a Senator decides to support(especially a member of the Commerce committee), he can find plenty of money to back his election campaigns. Many times a Senator will take a side on an issue and the money THEN just naturally follows.
I know that goes against the standard thinking that a Senator is for sale, but there is so much money on BOTH sides of every issue, that a Senator doesn't HAVE TO sell his vote. He gets the money in either case.

Skytop, PA | Those who spend the most $$$, get the politician(s) to see things their way. Does not make a difference if its right or wrong. Those with the most money, will own the most politicians. |

I agree. I admitadely did not read the whole article, but from the is listed here I don't see anything other than John McCain supported an issue that lobyists also supported. I'm sure within a year any Senator supports a measure that happens to align with special interest, regardless of the special interests. |
