What I find interesting about the McCainiacs on FR is their constant false attack on J.D. Hayworth about ‘Indian money’.

McCain headed the Indian Senate affairs, and penned CFR. He helped Obama SO much. He excluded Indian tribes from giving amounts like everyone else, and then Obama cleaned up on the Indian $$$.

In fact, I can’t think of one piece of McCain legislation that wasn’t hand in hand with the democrats or that ever did one ounce of good for America. Can you?

[snip] Many of the tribes that have given the most to help Sen. Obama are rich with gambling revenue. They’ve used a loophole in campaign-finance law that allows one tribe to donate more than $200,000, unlike corporations or trade groups, which can’t give any money.

The Seneca Nation of New York, which operates casinos upstate, gave $213,000 to Sen. Obama’s committees, according to campaign-finance data compiled by CQ MoneyLine. Three other tribes have each given more than $100,000 to his campaign or to party coffers he is using to get out the vote: the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and two California tribes, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the Viejas Band.

The Indian vote, which has traditionally been overwhelmingly Democratic, could be pivotal in a number of swing states, notably New Mexico.[snip]

The Abramoff scandal is nonsense too. McCainiacs are trying to put it on JD, but he was cleared of all charges.
