How the fuck is this legal?
Sen. John McCain plans at least one campaign event on his week-long congressional trip to Europe and the Middle East: a March 20 fundraiser in London. An invitation sent out by the campaign says the luncheon will be held at Spencer House, St. James's Place, "by kind permission of Lord Rothschild OM GBE and the Hon Nathaniel Rothschild." Tickets to the invitation-only event cost $1,000 to $2,300. Attire is listed as "lounge suits."
No, not the lounge suits. The raising of campaign funds by foreign royalty?
And not just any foreign royalty, but the House of Rothschild.
Is John McCain actually going out of his way to piss off the conspiracy nutters?
Or is he blatently breaking campaign finance law, raising money from foreign sources outside the eye of the domestic media?
Or is he demonstrating his fealty to the British Crown in advance of the elections.
I'm no campaign finance expert, but something really smells here - McCain going on a taxpayer funded trip on Congressional business (although ostensibly he is repaying the Treasury for the political portions of the trip) in order to raise (potentially) foreign funds for his campaign in the stately manor of a member of the British royal family.
Didn't we fight and win a revolution or something a few years ago, that we don't now bow and scrape before foreign potentates?
How did the Republicans forget that?
I mean, Jeez, the Brits dont even have OIL anymore!
