[blog]McCain hitting up Goldman Sachs workers for donations?

"My friends," after bailing out Wall Street, McCain is asking them to bail out HIM! The (vicious) circle of life.

From a philfiles reader at Goldman Sachs:

This is amazing. McCain sent me an URGENT package at my work address (?) today, begging for money. The package included a pitch (attached for your reference) to his 'dear friend' for $$$, and a PRE-PAID Fed-Ex envelope with which to deliver the $$$. You might note that the third paragraph asks for a donation of $5,000. I thought the individual limit was $2,300...

I'm considering what I should send in my pre-paid envelope -- any suggestions?


I recommended a home mortgage and a check made out to Barack Obama.

The letter says that money after the $2,300 legal limit will help offset McCain's "legal and accounting costs" (sketchy). You know, when they start intimidating voters and plead for the Supreme Court to give them the election!

This seems like a costly send-out to (endangered!) financiers, who are probably more concerned with tilling their victory garden than McCain's "Victory" Fund. Images after the jump, including where McCain ominously intones that an Obama presidency would allow Democrats to "control the entire federal government and would become unstoppable". can't wait!


This post, with images, continues here.

My personal bet is that some scam artist is using the prepaid envelopes to get checks sent to him/her. But if they are made out the the McCain campaign, how would they cash them?

As the comments in the article note, it's for McCain Palin Victory, not McCaine's campaign. Thus the $5,000 limit instead of $2,300.
