Abramoff ally, Ralph Reed, to host fundraiser for John McCain -- the same McCain who investigated the Abramoff-Reed connection
Next week, John McCain will attend the fundraiser for his campaign, which is being hosted by a close ally of Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed:
On Thursday afternoon, Republicans around Georgia received an invitation from Reed, who will serve as a host of a “special event” for McCain at the downtown Marriot Marquis on Aug. 18.
“John McCain believes in a strong national defense, a smaller, more accountable government, steady economic growth and opportunity, the dignity of life and traditional values,” wrote Reed, whose 2006 campaign for lieutenant governor sank under the weight of evidence detailing his relationship with Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff — much of it uncovered by McCain’s Indian Affairs Committee.
John McCain may want to review the 66 pages of correspondence between Mr. Reed and convicted felon, Jack Abramoff, which were obtained by his committee. Those emails between Reed and Abramoff are posted at governmentdocs.org.

McCain already put it to Reed a long time ago!
Ralph Reed and Jack Abramoff are/were loyal to the Kremlin. Today, the Kremlin invaded Georgia and proved that Vladmir Putin hasn't left behind his KGB glory days and the Cold War. Putin is locked into a time warp.
Putin and the direction he took Russia, has had no greater enemy in the US Congress for the last 8 years than John McCain. As hard as Reed and Abramoff tried to persuade every member of Congress to favor Russia in legislation, the one member of Congress they couldn't turn was John McCain. McCain in speeches for the last eight years has identified Putin for the barbarian he is.
Today, McCain got his chance to have his "I told you so" moments. He'll also be having them when he attends Reed's fundraiser, still opposes Reed's stand toward Putin and Russia, and takes Reed's money to the bank, too! It is humorous that McCain will take Reed's raised money, and give no credence to much of what Reed cares most about!
