McCain Spams & Scams Bush Mailing List |
2006-02-20 |
![]() Obviously using President Bush's direct mail list, the letter signed by McCain asks for $1,000 or $1,500 to support candidates agreeing with McCain on "key issues." It specifically lists "limiting federal spending, immigration reform, military readiness, global climate change, Social Security reform, reining-in lobbyists, reducing the power of the special interests and putting an end to wasteful pork barrel spending by Congress." Each recipient received a card to be filled in for McCain's files. "I'm asking you to update your file card," requests the letter, though the Bush contributors had no previous card in the senator's files. |

#3 Being a card recepient, McCain's got no better chance than a fart in a hurricane. A give him high regard for his Vietnam captivity, but no more than Sam Johsnon and the many other POWs who found it less expedient to leverage their captivity at every turn in their political career. His demeanor during Senate hearings towards Rummy is disgusting. |

#2 Hard to tell. Novak seems to imply that someone leaked the list to McCain but it might have been sold -- or it might be that these donors were identified through the public reporting requirements. ??? |
