Birds Of A Feather

There is an old adage that, for the most part, has proven itself to be
true: "Birds of a feather flock together." In other words, one can
discern much about a person by the company he or she keeps.
Accordingly, here is a sample of the quirky company of Senator John
McCain.
As Jerome Corsi recently reported, John McCain has long enjoyed
sizeable funding from the ultraliberal gazillionaire George Soros, and
from liberal Massachusetts Senator John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz
Kerry. (See the report at
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56177 )
Question: Why would ultraliberals such as Soros and Kerry give so much
money to a "conservative" Republican? Answer: They know that McCain is
anything but a conservative. In fact, McCain is so liberal, he
actually discussed becoming John Kerry's Vice Presidential running
mate on the Democratic ticket in 2004.
Dr. Corsi also reported the fact that McCain has chosen Juan Hernandez
as his Hispanic outreach director. A former Mexican government
official, Hernandez is a man who openly advances a "Mexico first"
policy everywhere he goes.
Corsi wrote, "In an appearance on ABC's Nightline in 2001, Hernandez
said, referring to Mexican immigrants in the U.S., 'I want the third
generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think "Mexico
first.""' Neither John McCain nor any of his spokesmen have repudiated
Hernandez' sentiments.
(See Dr. Corsi's report at
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59890 )
Is it any surprise, therefore, that John McCain has agreed to speak at
the upcoming annual conference of La Raza ("The Race")? As most
readers probably know, behind La Raza is a radical Hispanic group that
advocates a militant "reconquista" of the Southwestern United States.
John McCain is also known to have surrounded himself with corporate
lobbyists, who, for all intents and purposes, seek only the success of
their international corporation employers, not any "conservative"
principle.
Noted columnist Cliff Kincaid recently wrote, "Not all conservatives
thought the [New York] Times was off-base in going after McCain's ties
to lobbyists. These activists are angry that McCain is surrounded by
lobbyists who put corporate interests ahead of conservative interests.
They note, for example, that it has been impossible to get McCain to
firmly commit to opposing the U.N.'s Law of the Sea Treaty. McCain has
also indicated support for the International Criminal Court."

In addition, World Net Daily recently reported that McCain's family
fortune (via his current wife) is tainted with connections to
organized crime. The WND report begins by saying, "John McCain's
personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through
his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news
agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc."

In addition, a pro-abortion group has endorsed the now self-touted
"pro-life" candidacy of John McCain. "The Republicans for Choice
Political Action Committee decided that McCain was the best candidate
to make the Republican Party pro-choice following Rudy Giuliani's
withdrawal from the race, reported CNS News today."

And if all of the above is not enough, "Two of Sen. John McCain's top
advisors and fundraisers are among several Republican and Democratic
presidential campaign officials whose lobbying firms have been paid
more than $15 million by foreign governments since 2005.
"The firms of McCain senior advisor Charlie Black, who until recently
was the chairman of Washington-based BKSH & Associates, and campaign
co-chairman Thomas G. Loeffler, who heads the Loeffler Group in San
Antonio, received millions of dollars lobbying the White House,
Congress and others as agents of nearly a dozen foreign clients in
recent years . . ." As it turns out, Red China and Mexico are the top
employers. (Source: The Washington Times. See the report at

If it is true that "a man is known by the company he keeps," what does
this say about Senator John McCain?
