2008 Mccain Contribution's From Charles Keating's Firm
If the first name on that list sounds a little familiar, it’s because the firm was founded by the thorn of mistrust in McCain’s political career, Charles Keating, who was a former business partner of Cindy McCain prior to the infamous Keating Five scandal that collapsed America’s savings and loans, and forever tarnished John McCain’s political career. Back then John McCain admitted to intentionally filing false income tax returns to defraud the IRS by not claiming thousands of dollars in gifts McCain and his family received from Charles Keating and Keating’s company. Years later, when the IRS noticed Keating’s company had written off the gifts to McCain as business expenses, McCain fessed up and admitted filing false returns and made a “donation” to the U.S. Treasury to cover the amount he defrauded American tax payers. Among the partners who contributed was none other than Keating’s nephew, William J. Keating, Jr.. No one from the Keating firm is listed among McCain’s disclosure of bundlers of $50,000 or more. If John McCain has nothing to hide, and has insisted since the Keating 5 scandal that he did nothing wrong, then why not list contributors linked to his old buddy Charles Keating ? It seems that John McCain cannot help himself and stay off the slippery slope of accepting money from lobbyist, even with the stigma of the scandal in which thousands of American’s lost everything…even as he is running for President. And even more bewildering is that McCain seems to either be arrogant enough, or stupid enough to believe he can play both sides of the coin and hide this, and that we are too stupid to even raise an eyebrow. The McCain “Straight Talk Express” is more like the “Bull Shit Express“. It is apparent that John McCain will say one thing to our face, but will do what he wants behind our backs. No matter how much “I”m for you, the average Joe (the plumber) ” crap he speaks, it is clear that John McCain is out for John McCain, and his buddies. One has to wonder about the judgement of a man who would accept campaign contributions linked to the corruption that almost brought down his career and forever cast a shadow of his trustworthiness. Actually, there is no judgement to question…it stinks. According to the Huffington Post: There was no McCain fundraiser in the Cincinnati area on or around July 31st, so it appears that someone was bundling these contributions, yet no one from the Keating firm is listed among McCain’s disclosure of bundlers of $50,000 or more. Here is the list of lawyers from the Keating firm that donated to John McCain: BRUN, JAMES H MR NORTH BEND,OH 45052 7/31/08 $500 BUCK, MATTHEW K MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $500 BURKE, JAMES E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $2,300 CALLOW, JOSEPH M MR JR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 COFFARO, STEVEN C MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $400 COLETTI, ROBERT E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45243 7/31/08 $2,300 COLETTI, ROBERT E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45243 7/31/08 $2,300 CUSTER, DAVID A MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $500 DENTON, D BROCK MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $500 DORGER, PAUL D MR CINCINNATI,OH 45208 7/31/08 $500 FERSHTMAN, ALAN S MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $500 FRONDUTI, JOHN S MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 GARDNER, DON R MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $250 GARDNER, J NEAL MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 GARRY, TIMOTHY A MR CINCINNATI,OH 45213 7/31/08 $1,000 GOODSON, STEPHEN M MR CINCINNATI,OH 45233 7/31/08 $2,300 IRWIN, KEVIN E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45208 7/31/08 $2,300 IZENSON, DANIEL E MRS CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 JANSING, JAMES M MR NORTH BEND,OH 45052 7/31/08 $1,000 KEATING, WILLIAM J MR JR CINCINNATI,OH 45226 7/31/08 $1,000 KING, GAIL MS CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/1/08 $1,000 KLEKAMP, DONALD P MR CINCINNATI,OH 45243 7/31/08 $2,300 KLEKAMP, MARIANNE MRS CINCINNATI,OH 45243 7/31/08 $2,300 KREIDER, GARY P MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $2,300 KREIDER, GARY P MR NEW RICHMOND,OH 45157 4/1/08 $500 KREIDER, GARY P MR NEW RICHMOND,OH 45157 5/5/08 $500 KREIDER, GARY P MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $200 MATTHEWS, JAMES R MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 MICHEL, LISA W MRS CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 MINDRUM, MARY ELLEN MALAS MRS CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/1/08 $1,000 MONTGOMERY, DAVID K MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $2,300 MEISENHELDER, JOHN F MR LOVELAND,OH 45140 7/31/08 $1,000 MUETHING, PAUL V MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $2,300 POSEY, WILLIAM MR CINCINNATI,OH 45241 7/31/08 $1,000 RAMSEY, JAMIE MICHAEL MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $250 ROACH, ADRIENNE MS CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $250 ROWE, RACHEL A MS CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/1/08 $1,000 SANKER, ROBERT G MR CINCINNATI,OH 45244 7/31/08 $1,000 SIMS, MARK E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $500 SPOOR, RICHARD D MR PARK HILLS,KY 41011 7/31/08 $1,000 STEINBERG, KALMAN MR FORT MITCHELL,KY 41011 7/31/08 $500 STEINER, EDWARD E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45208 6/19/08 $1,300 STEINER, EDWARD E MR CINCINNATI,OH 45208 5/16/08 $1,000 TEPE, THOMAS M MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $250 UTTER, GREGORY M MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 WEISS, HERBERT D MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 WEISS, MARK A MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $1,000 WHITAKER, JAMES R MR CINCINNATI,OH 45202 7/31/08 $500 Learn More about John McCain’s Judgement: * http://www.johnmccainrecord.com/ * http://www.keatingeconomics.com/ * The List of 30 Lobbyist Running John McCains Presidential Campaign * The Keating 5 Scandal Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com |
