"Candidates got around with a little help from their friends; Discounts on use of jets now illegal" by Brian C. Mooney/Boston Globe December 18, 2007
Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign used the corporate jets of Las Vegas casino tycoons, the head of NASCAR, and the billionaire owner of the Texas Rangers. John Edwards often had at his disposal the jets of high-powered trial lawyers. And Mitt Romney was transported on planes owned by 27 captains of industry and commerce.
Finance records for the McCain campaign, along with those of Democratic Senators Joseph Biden of Delaware and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, and the Republican former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, showed only a few instances each of corporate or private travel.
Giuliani, Edwards, and Romney, however, took numerous trips.
There are your SUCK-ASS CORPORATE CANDIDATES, folks!
Notice how they never, ever mention Ron Paul and corruption in the same breath?
Because THEY CAN'T!?
Many of the corporations that ferried them used top-of-the-line jets, such as Gulfstreams.
You know, the SAME ONES the government RENDITIONS PEOPLE IN!!!!!
Ready for a lot of scum on Rudy?
The identity of the jet providers is not always apparent from the campaign reports. Thomas O. Hicks, the billionaire owner of the Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars hockey team, and real estate and investment interests, holds an aircraft under the corporate name of Cirrus Gas 5 LLC in Dallas. Giuliani's campaign reported four payments to the company totaling $36,139 for travel expenses.
Hicks, his family members, and employees of his ventures had donated at least $46,000 to Giuliani's campaign as of Sept. 30, according to campaign records. Giuliani enjoyed the added benefit of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before a game at Rangers Park in Arlington, Texas, in early September.
Similarly, NASCAR chairman Brian Z. France is a big Giuliani backer, and Giuliani's campaign paid $37,872 to a company that manages France's aircraft. The company, Capital Circle Group Limited Partnership, has a Charlotte, N.C., address, but was established in Reno, and lists a principal office in Los Angeles, where it is managed by a friend and business associate of France.
Besides the use of France's plane and at least $62,700 in contributions from France and his employees, Giuliani appeared at three NASCAR races this year, most recently in November at the finale of the Ford 400 Nextel Cup finale in Homestead, Fla., where he addressed drivers and fans and, with his wife, Judith, took a lap around the track in the official pace vehicle.
Giuliani's most generous provider of transport is also a major fund-raiser, Paul E. Singer, a New York-based hedge fund owner with a specialty of buying distressed debt of foreign countries. Giuliani's campaign paid Singer's Elliott Asset Management $266,435 for travel services.
Next is gaming mogul Sheldon Adelson, one of the wealthiest men in the United States. His company, Interface Operations LLC, an arm of his Las Vegas Sands empire, was paid $122,154 by Giuliani's campaign for transport services this year.
The Giuliani campaign also made two payments totaling $8,554 to Zuffa LLC of Las Vegas, a promoter of mixed martial arts sports programs, including Ultimate Fighting Championship. It is the brainchild of Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta, who are better known as the chairman and president of Station Casinos.
Earlier this year, Giuliani collected an estimated $100,000 in campaign contributions at a fund-raiser at the Red Rock Casino, one of 16 gaming facilities operated by the Fertittas' company."
