There is a lot more at the site. But before McCain visit to rasie funds in Denver this is put out.

The facts: John McBush 2008 - Latest News: Organizations Call on McCain to return oil PAC money


McCain Has Taken More than Half a Million from Oil and Gas Interests-Almost Half of Which Came During This Cycle


Nearly half of McCain's total from oil and gas interests (42.3 percent) has come since he started this cycle in 2007. (Analysis of Data from Center for Responsive Politics)
McCain's Key Staffers and Fundraisers Have Lobbied for Big Oil

More than a dozen staffers or fundraisers for McCain's campaign have lobbied for Big Oil, and as a group, they have received more than $6.5 million in lobbying contracts, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. (Bundlers from WhiteHouseforSale.org; contract amount data from the Center for Responsive Politics)
Top advisors and fundraisers for McCain include Charlie Black (his wife Judy Black is on the McCain host committee for Denver Petroleum Club event), whose BKSH and Associates lobbied on behalf of Occidental International; John Green who has lobbied for Exxon Mobil, Chevron, the American Petroleum Institute, and El Paso Corporation; fundraiser-lobbyist Wayne Berman, who represents Chevron Texaco and the American Petroleum Institute for lobbying powerhouse Ogilvy; and Sloan Rappaport, who represented Koch Industries for lobbying firm Tew Cardenas.

No Wonder Big Oil Likes McCain: He Voted to Protect Their Tax Cuts, and His Big Corporate Tax Cut Will Give Them Even More Tax Breaks

In 2005, John McCain voted twice against legislation that would have taxed windfall profits of the oil companies and provided American consumers with a tax credit to offset higher oil and natural gas prices brought on by hurricanes, including Katrina. (S. Amdt. 2635, S. 2020, Senate Roll Call Vote 341, November 17, 2005; S. Amdt. 2587, S. 2020 Senate Roll Call Vote 331, November 17, 2005)
McCain has proposed offering cutting the corporate tax rate by 10 percent-meaning more tax breaks for his big oil donors. Yet, McCain's tax cut offers very little for American families struggling. "The McCain plan would predominantly benefit the most fortunate taxpayers, offering two new massive tax cuts for corporations and delivering 63 percent of its benefits to the top 1 percent of taxpayers." [CAP, 3/08]

He had to get money from somewhere. His last run shut down due to lack of funds period. the Democrats (who I am not entirely against on some issues), get "nasty" money too.
As for him voting against wind fall profits tax on big oil, I am kind of afraid that might open the way for WFP tax on other things. I'm against taxing someone for being good at capitalism.
Alternative energy and opening oil reserves WHILE we HOTLY pursue that road are things I am in favor of.
I don't want to give another dime to a welfare whore, illegal immigrant, or drug addiction program. I know McCain's not the best bet in some of those categories, but he's the only one there is right now.
The Dems are further left than the Reps are too far right for my vote in the present tense.

Hope you could decipher all that . My mind thinks and sometimes my typing follows. Sometimes NOT

I might get it wrong, so if no one responds you might try searching with the key word delegate. I know someone explained it in another thread a short time ago. But I'm with you on that subject. It 'snuck" up on me too and I don't care for it.
