McCain laments 'foreign money' in Romney's presidential campaign

Posted Friday, Jun. 15, 20121

WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain said in an interview posted online Friday that "foreign money" was helping fellow Republican Mitt Romney's presidential hopes and singled out one of his ally's most generous supporters.

McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, suggested that casino magnate Sheldon Adelson's $10 million contribution to a pro-Romney super PAC was a conduit for Adelson to use profits from properties in Macau to shape American elections. McCain also criticized the Supreme Court ruling that allows individuals and corporations to make such unlimited donations to nominally independent political action committees.

"That is a great deal of money. And, again, we need a level playing field and we need to go back to the realization that Teddy Roosevelt had: that we have to have a limit on the flow of money and that corporations are not people," McCain said in an interview with PBS' NewsHour.

Romney told a heckler at the Iowa State Fair last year that "corporations are people, my friend."

In 2012, nobody can be elected president of this country without globalist foreign financial backing.

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” - Thomas Jefferson, 1816

Is there any limit to McCain's douchebaggery? So if a company makes ANY profits overseas, their contributions are "foreign"? Is he aware that Target, Walmart, Sears, Apple, Dell, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and thousands of others have stores in China? What an imbecile to give the media ammo like this vs. Mittens, while he had NOTHING to say about the tens of millions in foreign, ARAB contributions Obama received in 2008.
