McCAin Flip Flop leads to Big Donations from Oil/Gas Industry
« on: August 05, 2008, 08:08:21 AM »
Campaign contributions from oil industry executives to Sen. John McCain rose dramatically in the last half of June, after the senator from Arizona made a high-profile split with environmentalists and reversed his opposition to the federal ban on offshore drilling.

Oil and gas industry executives and employees donated $1.1 million to McCain last month -- three-quarters of which came after his June 16 speech calling for an end to the ban -- compared with $116,000 in March, $283,000 in April and $208,000 in May.

If it takes another mega flip flop to raise money for false and negative attack ads, so be it. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.  ::)

The McCain campaign also pointed out that the ad doesn't mention Obama has accepted campaign donations of some $400,000 from oil company executives.

But he isn't a pandering whore.
