 McCain Camp Gets Big Checks From Big Oil ExecsPosted on Aug 4, 2008
It’s not particularly surprising that oil executives at the Hess Corp. got a little excited when John McCain changed his position in June and called for offshore drilling, but it is interesting that the Hess brass, according to Talking Points Memo, apparently demonstrated their gratitude (cue cash register sound effect here) by writing some big checks to the McCain campaign.

..its very important to have a vice president who follows the main mans line of thinking. Lincoln was stuck with a southener and when he was killed Johnson vetoed a civil rights bill by the Rupublicans that called for equal rights for the freed slaves. We must all pray for the safety of whomever wins this crucial election..america must be a nation of laws not outlaws..a nation where all pay taxes for school and medical expenses...a nation where all have the right to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness...oh oh...sounds radical....spike that editor…

Yeah, and he has the audacity to put out a political ad claiming to be a “maverick” that will take on “big oil!” But, at least we don’t hear a peep from him on those “family values” so touted to be part of those GOP positions. But, I guess when you have dumped one wife that had the misfortune to be disfigured, and then verbally abused his second, it IS kinda hard to harp on that issue, huh?

Not as bad as the Crist 12 year old boy, Miami locker room story from 1983, but more damaging then the June McCain web ad mocking BO by putting his head on currency and Mt Rushmore, long before BO’s comments the other day.

It is a shame what ambition does to the small minded. It gets more clear that John McCain’s standing as an upright man was more to do with press releases than reality. His move to slime bag is disappointing as the country needs heroes. But than when one audits his hostile and dismissive views on women and that is just the tip, what more can be said.

Back in the 1880s Teddy Roosevelt found that insiders who rode the rails owned by the Harriman family recieved rebate checks in the mail...in his first presidential speech he condemned this practice and outlawed it..now its the Hannitys,OReillys,Rushs, and McCain etc who also get rebates...thats why they do not make a big deal out of this extortion..another Hobsons choice this time around...the establishment hands us these two puppets..
