    The links I gave above are dated, but not refuted. Check out this new AP article

    http://www.newsweek.com/id/172797/page/1

    The massive lobbying in the links provided earlier were just a few specific drops in the rainstorm describen in the AP article.

    Does anyone, who actually reads the articles at the links I've provided, think this is just revisionist history? If so, then please provide citations.

    You didn't get this slop from CNN, It's just a recapitulation of the smear emails that started when McC hire Rick Davis and the Bushies to run his campaign.

    If you really want to know, rather that regurgitate the preemptive lies, read these;

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html and http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732/page/1

    Davis was paid millions to lobby republicans against regulation, including while he was McC's campaign manager. One of the articles describes how the republicans had the votes to past that law, but massive lobbying of republicans kept it from even getting out of committee. They had the votes to do it without a single democrat vote.

    You're the one who's pitching the revisionist history fed to you by the propaganda office.

    Alot of our industrial goods are now made in China, a communist country, so it must be working for them. Our jobs have gone overseas because people in poorer countries will work for less, they also have a lower cost of living. Another major reason companies go overseas is so that they won't have to pay the large health benefits that companies pay American workers. Most countries have nationalized health or people who can afford to pay for medical care pay for it themselves.
