That should be enough, it's from the Washington Post - biased, sure, but not prone to making stuff like this up http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/03/14/mccain_invites_fundraisers_to.html

A US campaign watchdog has accused presumptive Republican president nominee John McCain of violating election laws by accepting campaign contributions from two prominent Londoners. At issue is a fundraising luncheon held in March at London's Spencer House, during McCain's swing through the United Kingdom. An invitation to the event lists Lord Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild as hosts, and indicates the event was made possible with their "kind permission". Judicial Watch, a Washington organisation instrumental in the March release of Hillary Clinton's White House schedules, has asked US election monitors to investigate whether the Rothschilds improperly sponsored the fundraiser. US political campaigns are forbidden from accepting contributions from foreign nationals. "The question is whether or not the Rothschilds paid for the event, the venue, the catering, or any other related costs," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. Tickets to the event cost $1,000 to $2,300, and the luncheon dress code was "lounge suits," the Washington Post reported in March. The McCain campaign did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Judicial Watch also complained to the US election authority, the federal election commission, about Elton John's involvement in Clinton's campaign. The group alleged the British rocker broke US campaign laws by performing at a fundraiser for the New York senator. The Clinton campaign argued US law allowed the British musician to volunteer his time and solicit Americans for contributions. The federal election commission is unlikely to act soon on the group's McCain complaint. It is currently short-handed, a result of a political squabble between the Democratic-led senate and the Bush administration, and lacks a quorum to take action.

Osama Obama is in George Soro's pocket...Hitlery is on the payroll of Chicoms and Arabs....McPain is on the payroll of Rothschilds. Absolutely worthless candidates!
Maybe McCain would like to repeal McCain-Feingold ???
LOL.... There is still time for McCain to withdraw from the race...
A British taboid publishes this and you conclude that he should withdraw? Interesting logic there David.
Rothschild donating to McCain? I guess our National Debt will expand until we are in receivership.
Buh bye sovereign nation. Buh bye. Brought to you by the “Front Runner”, who we voted for, “because he can win”.

I have been suggesting this for a very long time.. there is NO WAY John McCain will pull the conservative wing of the Republican Party....
I am not voting for him, THAT’S for sure.
And obama and the islamic world thank you hugely for that!
” I am not voting for him, THAT’S for sure. “
I’m with you !
” And obama and the islamic world thank you hugely for that! “
Obama ? We had 4 years of Bush # 1 ; 8 years of Bill ; and 8 years of Bush # 2 . And you are worried about Obama ??? LOL !
Let’s see who gets the last laugh . ;)
Um, obama is clearly worse than any of those you listed.
But hey, maybe you like the ‘hope and change’ of hardcore leftwing policies.
” Um, obama is clearly worse than any of those you listed.”
They just keep getting worse , don’t they ? ;)
Yeah, well, I’ll wait to hear from another more reputable source than the Guardian, before taking this as gospel.
What I was talking about was the breathlessness and desire for scandal from the Guardian. As far as I can tell, there is no law against someone from another country giving a lunch or dinner in honor of a person, even if that person is a candidate for President.
The mother of all nutcase, Jews-control-the-world, grand conspiracy sites. One hopes you are not serious.
