Read more about McCain’s pick to run the Republican convention.
Cindy McCain “sold off more than $2 million in mutual funds” after an AP reporter revealed the investments benefited the government of Sudan. John McCain didn’t have anything nice to say about such investors in an event hosted by the Center for Strategic & International Studies in April 2007, amongst other criticisms saying, “As long as petro-dollars flow freely to them, those regimes have little incentive to open their politics and economies so that all their people may benefit from their countries’ natural wealth.”
Now that John McCain knows about his wife’s “free-flowing petrol dollars” should he ask her to donate the sale proceeds and profits to Myanmar or Darfur relief?
McCain claims to be ignorant of the details of his wife’s vast fortune. He’s neither cautious nor curious about the moral core of the woman who raised and rears his children and who listens to him vent when he comes home from a hard day in the Senate so long as the campaign is funded, the jets keep flying, and the vacation homes are stocked with beer and brats.
