Dems call for McCain investigation
Politico ^ | 2010-10-20 | Kasie Hunt

National Democrats have asked the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether Arizona Sen. John McCain violated campaign finance laws when his campaign paid to run ads for Republican House candidates in Arizona — charges the McCain campaign said are “baseless.”

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee filed a FEC complaint Tuesday against McCain and his campaign committee, Friends of John McCain, because of recent ads backing Ruth McClung, the GOP nominee in Arizona’s 7th District, and Jesse Kelly, who is running in the 8th District. The complaint also asks the FEC to investigate whether McClung, Kelly and their respective campaign committees were in violation of campaign finance laws.

The TV commercials for Kelly and McClung include the standard disclaimer required by McCain’s namesake landmark campaign finance legislation, “paid for by Friends of John McCain,” and feature McCain himself announcing, “I’m John McCain and I approve this message.”

Yet if McCain is spending more than $4,800 on each ad — the legal limit for a political contribution — it’s likely he’s breaking the campaign finance law, Democrats say in the complaint.

Your predictions and analogies are laughable as are claims about other folks’ relation to McCain. Who cares who or what you are crying for most of us are trying to get as many RATs out as possible we know who the REAL enemy is.

No one here has “defended” pointing out the reality of RAT lies against him is not defending him merely speaking the truth. McCain is a minor irritant not the real enemy.

How’s that reaching across the aisle working for you now, Johnnie?!

LOL! Serves him right.

I wonder if the RNC will throw him under the bus. He is their head RINO after all.

” You can long for McCain as president if you want to. I see Obama as the woodpecker and McCain as the termite. You RINO lovers claim the termites are better to have in the wood because you can’t see the damage (till it is too late and the whole house falls down). But the woodpecker (Obama) provided a noisy target that could be rallied against. “

Very well stated.

” Actually you just sound like an idiot.

No one here has defended McCain though anyone with integrity must lay off supporting lyin’ RATS and their baseless charges against him thus one must conclude you are a lyin’ RAT yourself. “

Nobody is backing Dems here, and the only IDIOT present is you.

I am not the one pushing Democrat propaganda and pretending it is true.

Keep on hunting those “multi-account trolls” those who vote Republican are not rinos those who pretend to be republican and attack the party’s candidates are obviously the true Rinos.
