"Sen. John McCain secured millions in federal funds for a land acquisition program that provided a windfall for an Arizona developer whose executives were major campaign donors.
McCain, who has made fighting special-interest projects a centerpiece of his presidential campaign, inserted $14.3 million in a 2003 defense bill to buy land around Luke Air Force Base in a provision sought by SunCor Development, the largest of about 50 landowners near the base. SunCor representatives.
The Air Force later paid SunCor $3 million for 122 acres near the base. It was the highest single land transaction of the private lots purchased by the government — three times the county's assessed value and twice the military's estimated value.
McCain's campaigns have received $224,000 since 1998 from donors connected to Pinnacle West, including $104,100 for his current presidential run."

I;m beginning to suspect that McCain thinks the middle class is a special interest project an he juswt hasn't fully defined the term leaving it to the listener to create his own definition. The only fighting I'm seeing McCain doing or advocating latrely is to stop any accountability audits from occuring.

McCain says we cannot afford healthcare for children or vets, but we can afford three times the county assessed property value when it comes to the govt buying property from one of McCain`s large campaign donors.
What a POS! This is exactly why America is going down the drain, because of politicians like McCain!
