-Caveat Lector- from: http://pages.prodigy.net/rockaway/mccain.htm <A HREF="http://pages.prodigy.net/rockaway/mccain.htm">Untitled Normal Page</A> ----- "Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father." Sen. John McCain I became interested in this creep when I saw he was behind the Senate effort to massively increase the expansion of airports (Senate Bill 82) in the U.S. (at taxpayer expense of course) with no concern or study (as required by federal law) of the increased environmental impacts on Americans. He likes to portray himself as a "independent" Republican who is for campaign finance reform, but in reality he rakes in the corporate PAC money better than most of congresscreeps. The media LOVES this creep, which says a lot about the media. Bill Mulcahy http://pages.prodigy.net/rockaway/newsletter28.htm Here are some stories revealing the true nature and duplicity of Sen. John "Insane" McCain: >From the "Dark side" of John McCain http://www.realchange.org/mccain.htm Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating's airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating's luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain's wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a "sweetheart deal."

McCain's Environmental Scorecard: http://scorecard.lcv.org/member.cfm?id=213 http://scorecard.lcv.org/committee.cfm?committee=000COM McCain's Gravy: His Corporate Buddies http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1999/011499/wonk1.html So how did the money break down in the final analysis? Just to give you an idea of McCain's fund-raising prowess, here's a list of the companies who gave his Senate campaign big bucks, via their political action committees and/or employees: More than $20,000: U.S. West, AT&T, BellSouth Corp., Bell Atlantic. Between $15,000-$19,999: AMR Corp. (Alaska Air's owner), Bank One Corp., News Corp., Phelps Dodge Corp., Boeing Co., Ameritech Corp. (a Baby Bell), CSX Corp. (a railroad). Between $10,000-$14,999: Bank of America, Federal Express Corp., Cyprus Amax Minerals Co., Hensley & Co., Union Pacific Corp., National Association of Home Builders, Ford Motor Co., Lockheed Martin, National Cable Television Association, Motorola Inc., Del Webb Corp., Allied Pilots Association, American Institute of CPAs, Burlington Northern Inc., MCI WorldCom, SBC Communications, Marshall & Ilsley Corp., Sprint Corp., Americans for Free International Trade, Arizona Public Service Co., Cellular Telecom Industry Association, Citigroup Inc., Marine Engineers Union, National Association of Underwriters, Newport News Shipbuilding, TRW Inc. and United Parcel Service. As long as McCain chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, companies like these will give him money with the hope of currying favor. Yes, some of the companies listed above are headquartered in Arizona, but for the record, 65 percent of the money McCain raised in 1998 came from out of state. And 26 percent of it came from, as Campaigns and Elections puts it, "those dastardly denizens of political corruption" -- PACs. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
