Oil Executives for McCain

Posted by Matt Ortega on August 4, 2008 at 02:16 PM

TPM Election Central:

Ten senior Hess Corporation executives and/or members of the Hess family each gave $28,500 to the joint RNC-McCain fundraising committee, just days after McCain reversed himself to favor offshore drilling, according to Federal Election Commission reports.

Nine of these contributions, seven from Hess executives and two from members of the Hess family, came on the same day, June 24th, the records show. The total collected in the wake of McCain's reversal for the fund, called McCain Victory 2008, from Hess execs and family is $285,000.

John McCain's dishonest attacks are powered by oil interests, and then he proceeds to rail against a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. Go figure.
