The Military-Industrial Complex: It’s Much Later Than You Think.

Since 1961, there has been too little serious study of, or discussion of, the origins of the military-industrial complex, how it has changed over time, how governmental secrecy has hidden it from oversight by members of Congress or attentive citizens, and how it degrades our constitutional structure of checks and balances.

As the former Maverick has left the " straight talk express " to become Bush's lap dog riding the gravy train of lobbyists, specially the one of the oil company.

" Maverick " no more. McCain has lobbyists run his campain.

A complete list of more than 134 lobbyists that have served on McCain's campaign, and who have raised money for him.

If you look closely, there are a lot of lobbyists for oil companies on the list!

Most of them have connection with the Bush Administration as well. If he is elected they will make sure McCain follows policies in favor of the oil companies, the big corporations and of course the military-industrial complex.

I guess, it will be no more " straight talk express " from McCain, but just a nice ride on the lobbyists' gravy train.....
