McCain main man Tom Ridge skirts foreign lobbying rules after work for Albania:
For almost two years former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge failed to register a nearly half-million-dollar lobbying contract that he had with the government of Albania.
Ridge filed a registration statement on behalf of the country earlier this month after being contacted by the Department of Justice.
[...]
Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor, represented Albania from October 2006 through the end of August 2007 on issues ranging from homeland security to NATO membership.

I'm so sick of former Washington Insiders taking money from foreign govenments. It's bad enough to be bribed by corrupt forces within your own country.
The Founding Fathers were extremely worried about foreign interests dictating the course of our republic. It appears that the multinationals not only influence our economy and national security choices...they know they own us.
It's the fault of those in Washington who consider themselves Men of the World instead of Protecters of our Constitution and American Way of Life.
There are so many Traitors operating within this revolving door of office holder and lobbyist for the highest bidder. I'm sickened by how it has become the norm.
These rank opportuniists, who have no faith in their own countrymen, must to be drummed out of Washington and never given a chance to exert any power within our federal govenment again.
