Someone should ask the McCain campaign whether it bothers him to take contributions obviously made from corporate funds, in violation of the campaign finance laws McCain is so proud of working on.
A Hess office manager and her husband, a foreman for Amtrak, who live in a rental unit in Queens while she drives a ’93 Chevy Cavalier, gave $61,000 to the McCain campaign and its RNC “Victory Fund.” Those contributions were back in June, before McCain abandoned his long-standing opposition to offshore drilling, and were part of a river of campaign cash coming from Big Oil to McCain before and after that flip-flop.
If you think that money actually came from the Rocchios and not from Hess or a Hess shareholder or executive, let’s talk about an investment in urban transportation infrastructure.
