First off, I'm new here. I found this forum when I was invited here by a CM to answer a few survey questions below... I'm Michelle, age 40, mom to a toddler, and I live in the very blue state of WA. :-)


Now that I've introduced myself, I'll answer the question.

Here let me help you out with some of McCains affiliatations.


Meet John McCain's friends and advisors:


Keating: Remember him? $2,000,000,000.00 paid by US taxpayers to bail out Keating’s Lincoln Savings and Loan… McCain and Keating were personal friends following from 1981 until HE WENT TO JAIL.


McCain received $112,000 between 1982 and 1987 in political contributions from Keating and his associates and wife Cindy McCain and ‘dad invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986. McCain and family made nine trips at Keating's expense on Keating's jet including vacations to Keating's retreat at Cat Cay, Bahamas. McCain met with the federal regulators on Keating's behalf (but not to influence them – yeah right). Confesses McCain, “…it was the wrong thing to do." Yeah, so is voting for you in November. http://www.keatingeconomics.co...


Jack Abramoff: A review of campaign finance filings shows McCain accepted more than $100,000 in “donations” from employees of Greenberg Traurig, Jack’s lobbying firm until HE WENT TO JAIL.


Phil Gram: Mr. “nation of whiners” who deregulated oil trading and banking – voila Sub-Prime Meltdown and $150 a barrel oil. He and his wife were big friends of Ken Lay (died just before HE WENT TO JAIL); he collected more than $97,000 in campaign contributions from ENRON. Wendy Gramm was on ENRON’s board and was paid between $915,000 and $1.8 million in salary, attendance fees, stock options and dividends for helping ENRON implode.


John Green and Wayne Berman: McCain’s chief liaison to Congress and his national finance co-chairman billed more than $720,000 in lobbying fees from 2005 through last year to Ameriquest Mortgage – big subprime circus - which has since been bought out and was forced to settle suits with 49 states for $325 million.


Carly Fiorina: John McCain’s economic brain and the RNC Victory Chair, was former CEO of Hewlett Packard (before she was effectively fired by the board for poor performance). While CEO she fired 25,700 workers in 2001, and saw her pay jump 231 percent, from $1.2 million in 2001 to $4.1 million in 2002, that’s $112.84 for each laid off employee. When she left she took a $45M golden parachute. She’s a real saint and a job creator!


Charlie Black and Thomas G. Loeffler: McCain senior advisor and his campaign co-chairman, received more than $15 million lobbying the White House, Congress and others as agents of nearly a dozen foreign clients in recent years.
