McCain's Fundraisers Are Lobbyists And Bankers

Senator John McCain has staked his campaign for the presidency in large part on his reputation as a reformer intent on curbing the influence of money in politics.

It's hard to believe average Americans would contribute to McCain's campaign. I think the large numbers of lobbyists and bankers among his fund raisers is an indication that average Americans won't contribute.

McCain received $112,000 by 1987 from Keating.

If it was not for John Mccain it would have been the Keating Four in the biggest financial scandal most people have not heard about.

We won't hear about it because the mainstream media is buddy-buddy with Johnny McCain. They love him and his BBQ's.

The radical right political machine doing its attack against all things American in the name of their self serving interests. The realm of American politics has taken the Nation to the edge of destruction. How long can we survive this Imperial economy and this perpetual war machine?
