(CA) Democrats announce federal complaint against governor, McCain

Democrats announce federal complaint against governor, McCain


By MICHAEL R. BLOOD, AP Political Writer

Friday, March 3, 2006

(03-03) 19:32 PST Los Angeles (AP) --

The California Democratic Party said Friday it will ask government regulators to investigate Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. John McCain for allegedly violating campaign-finance law.

The allegations center around a scheduled March 20 fundraiser in Beverly Hills, in which donors have been asked to contribute up to $100,000 for Schwarzenegger and the state Republican Party.

McCain, R-Ariz., is the featured speaker.

Katie Levinson, a spokeswoman for the governor's campaign, called the complaint "nothing more than frivolous nonsense." Trevor Potter, a former Federal Election Commission chairman who advises McCain, said the senator "is in full compliance with federal law."

Snip...

But the Democrats allege the wording is misleading, and the sums sought by the governor's campaign far exceed permissible levels at an event where a federal officeholder is appearing. It accuses the governor of "aiding and abetting Sen. McCain in soliciting soft money contributions in violation of federal law."

i think this is important. we cannot let mccain be elected president. he also has a terrible temper and i have posted this in the past. i heard that one time at a meeting he got so angry that he passed out. imagine him with his finger on the button.

7. Yeah, he was one of the "crooks of the first order" types.
Barely escaped being tossed out of congress then underwent an ethical arabesque, kept his head down for a few years, and re-emerged as a moral majority of one. Creepy little crook.
