McCain Returns Donations

May 25th, 2006

I’m not a fan of Senator McCain. While everybody denounced Kerry for being such a flip-flopper, McCain appears to epitomize the pandering politician. His double talk, and playing to the crowds and cameras, demonstrate that John McCain stands for political business as usual.

I would go so far as to say that his returning donations made by the Wyly family was nothing more than an attempt to manipulate public opinion. The Wyly family have long been backers of the GOP, and McCain has long been a friend of corporate money. Why would McCain bite the hand that feeds him here? Simply to provide the appearance that he is tough on campaign reform, and attempt to distance himself from what could potentially turn out to be illegal money.

For all his tough talk on reform, Senator McCain reeks of corporate America. I find it hard to imagine that anything would change for Joe Public under an administration lead by McCain. Who does he represent? Not conservatives. Not liberals. Definitely not me.
