McCain and big oil connections email

Think McCain will be helpful with oil prices? Does a guy who traipses around in $540 Ferragamo Italian loafers really understand how oil prices are affecting American families? Maybe we should ask the Big Oil lobbyists who work for his campaign. They are the people that formulate his oil policies. Do they care about prices at that pump? Their clients make more when WE pay more. McCain has even more Big Oil lobbyists working for him than worked for Bush/Cheney. His Senior Political Adviser even lobbied for the national Russian and Chinese oil companies. Below is a list of Big Oil lobbyist that work for his campaign. Scary…
