News all over the corporate media and the blogosphere has it that Freddie Mac has been paying John McCain's campaign manager hundreds and thousands of dollars all the way up to last month when the government took over.
John McCain's campaign manager and Freddie Mac essentially had what amounts to a secret half a million dollar lay-a-way plan. For almost three years, Freddie Mac made secret, monthly payments of $15,000 to Rick Davis for providing special access to a future McCain White House in exchange. If McCain knew about this, his presidential campaign should be over. If he didn't know about it, he ought to fire Rick Davis immediately," said David Donnelly, Director of Campaign Money Watch. from a statement made to the Huffington Post
What do you expect? More than 100 lobbyists on the campaign staff, including the campaign manager? The message of "Buying the Presidency" has been clear since the get-go. Nice to have some good hard facts and secret cash to point to though!
