The man picked by the John McCain campaign to run the 2008 Republican National Convention resigned Saturday after a report that his lobbying firm used to represent the military regime in Myanmar.
Doug Goodyear resigned as convention coordinator and issued a two sentence statement:
"Today I offered the convention my resignation so as not to become a distraction in this campaign. I continue to strongly support John McCain for president, and wish him the best of luck in this campaign."
Goodyear, chief executive of lobbying firm DCI Group, resigned a few hours after Newsweek posted a story posted online that the company was paid $348,000 in 2002 and 2003 to represent Myanmar's junta.
First McCain flip flops on the terrorism issue. As a former POW he was against it but now as a GOP candidate he is for it.
And now we find he has ties to a military dictatorship which has killed thousands of its own people.
Isn't that his argument for why invading Iraq was the right thing to do?
the blogs are doing a good job on this- thank you for reporting- and let's see if the Media does a damn thing with it...
