Heheeheh Doug. I was wondering if he invested his money in “sure things” during this republican reign of terror?

Were you part of the “millionaire” folks yesterday?

McCain is a ‘reformer’ that has been vetted by the lobbyist and greedy companies.

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain secured millions in federal funds for a land acquisition program that provided a windfall for an Arizona developer whose executives were major campaign donors, public records show.
McCain, who has made fighting special-interest projects a centerpiece of his presidential campaign, inserted $14.3 million in a 2003 defense bill to buy land around Luke Air Force Base in a provision sought by SunCor Development, the largest of about 50 landowners near the base. SunCor representatives, upset with a state law that restricted development around Luke, met with McCain’s staff to lobby for funding, according to John Ogden, SunCor’s president at the time.

While the idiot CONs continue to complain about “welfare for the poor” so that they can feel smug and self-righteous, they ignore the real money going to the rich.

Whoa Ho! What have we here?

McCain arranged sweet-heart real-estate deals for big donors.

I am shocked SHOCKED!, I tell you.

Not only is this a huge stain on Straight-Talk Express’s record, but it also shows the ridiculousness of equating experience with “vetting.”

The more experience the candidate has, the more likely it is that some huge unethical practice is going to emerge . . .

Rep. Todd Tiahrt ($121,000)

Either he’s a colossal failure or start looking for bank accounts in the Caymun Islands.

Tankerless Todd is a paycheck away from bankruptcy?
