Did John McCain Accept Illegal Donation From The Rothschilds?
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it filed a formal complaint, dated April 22, 2008, with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) related to a fundraising luncheon held at London’s Spencer House to benefit Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign. The venue for the event was apparently donated to the campaign by foreign nationals, in violation of federal campaign finance laws.
“Recent news reports suggest that Sen. John McCain and John McCain for President may have accepted an in-kind contribution from foreign nationals Lord Rothschild OM GBE and the Hon. Nathaniel Rothschild of Great Britain in contravention of federal election laws,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote in a complaint letter dated April 22, 2008. “On behalf of Judicial Watch and its supporters, I hereby request that the FEC investigate the matter.”
The McCain fundraiser was held on March 20, 2008 at London’s Spencer House, billed as “London’s most magnificent 18th century private palace.” The McCain campaign distributed an invitation indicating that the site for the luncheon had been provided “by kind permission of Lord Rothschild, OM GBE and the Hon. Nathaniel Rothschild,” who are both foreign nationals. In statements to the press, the McCain campaign referred to the luncheon as a “fundraiser.” Read on...
John McCain has already broken federal campaign finance laws without retribution so it's not likely the FEC, which is a state of disarray, (perhaps by design) will bother, or will even be capable of doing much about this before November. Contact the FEC and tell them that this potential violation of federal law must be investigated.
ok i have a question...
what would happen if a show stopping scandal ended mccain's campaign at this point?
would the convention pic a repub to go against obama or would huckabee or romney become presumptive candidate?
more than likely
Whats the status of Federal Election Administration Act of 2007 introduced in the Senate by John McCain and Russ Feingold?
Thats thing pass?
Sigh, and yet those west virginia demotards will vote for McCain over Obama because they retarded and think he's a Communist-Islamic-Fundamentalist who attends church.
This man belongs in prison. Unfortunately, nobody wants to take on the responsibility of changing his diaper.
"I,m John McCain, Danbury Federal Prisoner number 34874589 and I approve this message."
Huffington Post: BREAKING NEWS: McCain Resigns From His Campaign
-off topic-
Guantanamo hearing live on cnn (and prolly other places) right now. Its very ionteresting.
Talk about elitist.
Mr. Magoo strikes again.
I love Judicial Watch. They do great work.
Someone ought to write a book:
Rich, Stupid and Ready to Lead.
IS ANYONE SURPRISED??? We all should realize by now that 99.9% of all politicians would gladly drop off their mothers, wives, and children at the gates of Hell, if it would assure them a political victory. There is "NOTHING" they would hesitate to do. There is no moral or ethical level low enough to be avoided by them if it meant achieving their goal. There's nothing they would or could do, that would ever surprise me. DAR
John McCain’s Lobbyists (the list)
Posted May 19, 2008 | 04:39 PM (EST)
Listening to the McCain campaign talk about lobbyists over the last few days I was reminded of that scene from Casablanca between Rick and Captain Renault. Renault expresses faux outrage over gambling.
Captain Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
[aloud]
Captain Renault: Everybody out at once!
The McCain campaign’s response to their recent McLobbyist scandals is just as fake.
To date, John McCain has 118 lobbyists either working or raising money for him. So far, he’s fired only three of them:
Eric Robert Burgeson
Douglas B. Davenport
Thomas Loeffler
This is hardly even a slap on the wrist.
The remaining 115 lobbyists make millions working for special interests in Washington. They represent all kinds of industries like health insurance companies, Big Pharma, defense contractors, and Telecom. They represent foreign regimes like Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Burma. And they hold positions at the highest levels of the McCain campaign.
John McCain says he represents the American people, but the men and women Senator McCain has chosen to run his campaign have worked for years for special interests.
Here is the full list of the lobbyists working or raising money for John McCain:
Robert Aiken, Grant Aldonas, Philmore B. Anderson, Rebecca “Becky” Anderson, Stanton Anderson, Susan Auther Andres, Robert Asher, William J. Bailey III, William Ball III, David Beightol, Rhonda A. Bentz, Wayne Berman, Steve Betts, Charlie Black, Judy Black, Kirk Blalock, Carlos Bonilla, Christine Burgeson, Kerry Cammack, Kirsten Ardleigh Chadwick, Rob Chamberlin, Susan Charlton, John Clerici, Josephine “Jo” Cooper, James Courter, Bryan Cunningham, Alfonse D’Amato, Ashley Davis, Kurt Davis, Rick Davis, Mimi Dawson, John Diamond, Frank Donatelli, Melissa “Missy” Edwards, Kevin Fay, Christian Ferry, Chris Fidler, Thomas Jr. Fiorentino, Sally Furman, Samuel K. Geduldig, Ben Ginsberg, David Girard-di Carlo, Michael Glassner, Juleanna R. Glover Weiss, Phil Gramm, John Green, Janet M. Grissom, Wes Gullett, Kristen Gullott, Kent Hance, Robert Harding, Vicki Hart, Robert van Laer Hartwell, John D. Heubusch, Deborah Hohlt, Richard Hohlt, Gaylord T. Jr. Hughey, Peter Huntsman, Aleix Jarvis, Greg Jenner, Christine Jones, Nancy Johnson, Mary Kate Johnson, Ned Johnson, Charles N. Kahn III, Mike Kennedy, William Kilberg, Steve Kuykendall, William “Bill” Lesher, Jack Lichtenstein, Gail MacKinnon, Peter Madigan, Mary Mann, Paul Martino, Mary McAuliffe, John McGovern, Mike McKay, Timothy McKone, Alison H. McSlarrow, Kyle E. McSlarrow, Michael E. Meece, David A Metzner, Susan Molinari, John Munger, Ken Nahigian, Susan Nelson, Jack Oliver, Steve Perry, Nancy Mitchell Pfotenhauer, Steve Phillips, Elise Pickering, James L. Pitts, Timothy Powers, Anthony Principi, Michael Racy, Sloan W. Rappoport, James Rill, Steve Roman, Matt Salmon, Joseph Samora, Randy Scheunemann, Katie Stahl, Milly Stanges, Aquiles Suarez, Fife Symington, Jeri Thompson, Dirk W. Van Dongen, David Vennett, Raymond T. Jr. Wagner, Jeffrey Weiss, Richard “Dick” Wiley, Tony Williams, James Woolsey, Joseph Wright, Fred Zeidman,
You can take a look at the people they worked for and the positions they hold within the McCain campaign over at http://www.McCainSource.com
Does John McCain actually expect us to believe that of the 115 lobbyists left, none of them will come back to the White House looking for favors if he gets elected?
david a. robinson @ 13:
I blame it on that never ending pursuit of comprehensive Health Care Coverage.
The argument being advanced that letting someone use a building for a fundraiser is an "in-kind" contribution would make the activity of Democrats illegal, not just Republicans.
Eric Jaffa @ 16:

Now which buildings on foriegn soil are you talking about?
[Steve, this post is off topic. Feel free to repost it in a Hillary Clinton thread or an open thread. Thanks-Sitemonitor]
That's what i thought.
Illegal, or unlawful, is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law or, more generally, by rules specific to a particular situation (such as a game...which perfectly describes the current Presidential Election)
PUHLEEEEEZE....This is a minion of the Government we are talking about here...laws or rules of any kind are inconsequential. Especially to a Republican.
Like his evil twin Bush, John McBush thinks that if he speaks of his integrity with conviction, he doesn't actually have to have any integrity. Bush quit golfing in solidarity with the people he blithely sent into the meat grinder of Iraq, except he never actually stopped golfing. That's Bush, being all that he can be. Likewise, McBush scorns lobbyists and dirty money, but surrounds himself with both. Our maverick, led around Washington on Karl Rove's leash.
marko @ 1:
Well, Ron Paul is still getting votes in some states... And Mitt didn't actually end his campaign didn't he leave it with a BIG loophole just sitting there to allow himself to jump back in!
Oh I'm being Censcored!
WOW!
[I don't know what 'Censcored' is, but you're not being censored, if that's what you think. All those links threw your post in the Spam bin. I'm working on it right now-Sitemonitor]
If anybody running for public office is found guilty of violating the law while running for public office they should be taken off the ballot and if somehow already elected removed from office.
Democrat, Republican or other. It does not matter.
Eric Jaffa @ 16:
D FOR T5HE UASE OF THA FACILITIES
Disfunctional by design is RIGHT. Part of KKKarl Rove's master plan was to keep Repugs in a solid controlling majority for A HUNDRED YEARS. The NeoCons, nasties, and neanderthals of the Republican Party have BLOWN IT after just EIGHT YEARS!

Mitt didn't shut his campaign totally down he only suspenced it, so he would probably fire it up again.
Someone please tell the Ron Paul conspiracy theorists about this Rothschild connection. I'll get the popcorn!
It would be nice if a republican (especially the nominee) knew WTF he was talking about at least once in awhile on what they claim to be their strong point...

my apologies for that dyslexic effort.
what I meant to say is:
if they pay for the use of the facilities, there is no issue.
Nonte De @ 31:
they probably already know. they get no airtime.
John McCain is hardcore New World Order. The man was at Bohemian Grove last summer. If that doesn't clue you in, I don't know what will.
Look, the Rothschilds practically own this planet, and the quaint notions of government, nations, and self determination, are just Public Relations at this point.
If they want McCain in power, then he will be in power. Quad Erat Demonstrandum.
Never bet against the Rothschilds.
xoites defends Constitution @ 17:
The contribution limit is $2,300.
So if an American lets a politician use his house for a fundraiser which takes in $100,000, that could be interpreted as an illegal in-kind contribution, if one goes along with Judicial Watch.
That would make a common practice by both Democratic and Republican politicians illegal.
So called " Theorists " are investigators who find real quotes and information , exposing what these people are really about and they should be taken very seriously .
All you have to do is read what they say, Mayer Armschel Rothschild - " Give me control of a Nation's money and I care not who makes her laws " .
. Warburg, Illuminati and Rothschild banker
"The Technocratic Age is slowly designing an every day more controlled society. The society will be dominated by an elite of persons free from traditional values (!) who will have no doubt in fulfilling their objectives by means of purged techniques with which they will influence the behavior of people and will control and watch the society in all details". "... it will become possible to exert a practically permanent watch on each citizen of the world".
It's funny I learned more history from YOU TUBE documentaries than high school and I would suggest watching ZEIGEIST Documentary , exposing how the Federal Reserve was hatched . Some don't want to admit or realize that much of what conspiracy investigators say IS TRUE .
It's very simple actually , Read about how the Federal Reserve started, who's involved and what plans they they have, for the worlds monetary system and connect the dots .
McCain is obviously their boy , so you need to ask yourselves what he intends to do FOR THEM , if he gets into office .
Kahoneez, you're one pandemic virus away from losing your strawman.
Don't believe me? Just do some research on the Fuggers and the Medicis, the Rothschilds of their own days.
Neither the Fuggers nor the Medicis were anywhere NEAR as wealthy as the Rothschilds.
The Rothschilds fortune was estimated in 1850 at over $6 billion US (source Morton, 1962)
Work out that is in todays money. Then acknowledge that the Medicis and Fuggers are piggy bank owners, compared to the Rothschilds.
Sorry but no one was richer than old Mother Fugger.
I just wonder what they are planning to do to make the vote rigging look halfway plausible
Eric Jaffa @ 37:
Spencer House is a venue--no longer a personal residence--that is available for rental, as per its website:
http://www.spencerhouse.co.uk/banquet.htm
There's the difference between fundraisers held at private homes for politicians and the event the Rothschilds hosted.
The Democrats (or at least the Obama campaign which is the only one I have been involved in) are extremely picky about in-kind donations. I had to fill out forms to donate eleven $1 cloth bags that I brought for the canvassing group to carry their literature in. Whoever is raising the talking point that "democrats do it too" has to find an instance where a Democratic campaign has used a building without paying for it (or having it registered as an in-kind donation.)
(Obviously forumns where the candidate is invited to speak by an unrelated group -- such as the debates -- are a different issue.)
Just because you see a candidate speaking in a church or union hall, don't assume that the candidate is endorsed by that church or union and that the site is free.
Sounds like a pretty elitist group to me.
What??? Grampy break rules and lie? Tell me it isn't so. How about this little jewel from his "heroic" POW days:
"On October 26, 1967, McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down over Hanoi. The fractures of 1 leg and both arms were reportedly due to his failure to tuck them in during ejection. According to U.S. News & World Report (May 14, 1973), McCain didn’t wait long before offering military information in return for medical care. While an extraordinary patient at Gi Lam Hospital, he was visited by a number of dignitaries, including, to quote McCain himself, General Vo Nguyen Giap, the national hero of Dienbienphu.
Jack McLamb is a highly respected name in law enforcement circles. After 9 years of clandestine operations in Cambodia and unmentionable areas, he returned home to Phoenix where he became one of the most decorated police officers on record. Twice McLamb was named Officer of the Year. He went on to become an FBI hostage negotiator. This man has stated that every one of the many former POWs he has talked with consider McCain a traitor. States McLamb, “He was never tortured…The Vietnamese Communists called him the Songbird, that’s his code name, Songbird McCain, because he just came into the camp singing and telling them everything they wanted to know.” McLamb further quotes former POWs as saying McCain starred in 32 propaganda videos in which he denounced his country and comrades."
rothchilds?
i'm surprised they woulkd make a thread here
there is not even one candidate ,in the last 90 years that has not been annoited by this utmost crime family ,of ALL TIME
including ALL PARTIES ,and even the VP candidates
In every major country of the WORLD
McCain looks like Wayne from Wayne's World in that photo.
George @ 44:
it's like "voter fraud". they try to create a false equivalence.
Kahoneez @ 38:
Don't worry about the doubters. They still haven't gotten it yet and figured out what is really going on in the world and who the real players in the game are and what the offical plans are which are readily available.
Continue to store your food, seeds, water purifiers, bottled water, reserve gas, precious metals for bartering, and keep your ammo dry.
When there is no food and the only food left is poisonous GMO crap, and the dollar is worthless, gas is 10 dollars a gallon and being rationed, and homeland security thugs are running around rounding up people, maybe then they will get it.
pissed off patricia @ 30:
Aw please, not Mitt! McCain stands a much better chance at at having a major meltdown and/or scandal before November than Mitt would.
As much as I can't stand the thought of McCain, Mitt positively gives me the creeps.
Why not he has taken money from even bigger fuckwads and Cindy will take a dollar from anyone then spend two to kill them.
Yes, this is the world we live in.
I'm hoping for McCain/Huckabee myself. I can't wait to see McCain melting down in the corner while Huckabee cracks jokes about it.
I'd love to know what Ms Ferraro thinks of McCain calling his wife a Trollop and worse.
StevePam @ 23:
Sitemonitor you mean to say "you're" which is the contraction of "you are", not "your" which is the posessive of "you". Get "your" spelling and usage right, at least while you are redmarking others....OK?

How come my comment was deleted? McCain DID go to Bohemian Grove. I got this from a reliable source.
Obama has broken this law as well with contributions via Tony Rezko from Naumi Audchi, among others.
