Ah, Jimminy Cricket, how soon you forget that McCain's chief advisor was a lobbyist for F&F and as late as last month was collecting a salary from them. How do you do that when I company is broke?

You might want to take a gander at some other stats and I've included websites where the information can be found.

Isn’t it amazing what deregulation and some greased palms will buy for McCain?
