McCain: ‘I’m The Only Candidate That The Special Interests Don’t Give Money To’
At a townhall meeting in New Hampshire last November, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told the audience that he’s never allowed himself to be corrupted by lobbyist money: Everybody says that they’re against the special interests. I’m the only one the special interests don’t give any money to. Watch it: According to the Center for Responsive Politics, McCain has taken nearly $1.2 million in campaign contributions from the telephone utility and telecom service industries, more than any other Senator. McCain sides with the telecom companies on retroactive immunity.(close)Related info:
