"The Dukester" Wasn't The Only One

If you think Congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-Calif.) was the only war profiteer in the Republican Party, think again. Capital Eye reports: Political action committees controlled by MZM, Inc., which was founded by alleged Cunningham co-conspirator Mitchell Wade, and ADCS, Inc., which was founded by alleged co-conspirator Brent Wilkes, have contributed more than $1 million in the last 10 years to a roster of politicians, leadership PACs and party committees. Top recipients include Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr. (R-Va.), Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.), Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.), Tom DeLay's Americans for a Republican Majority PAC and President Bush. Republicans have been the recipients of 95% of the two defense contractors' giving, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' analysis. For Cunningham’s part, he and his political action committee received at least $115,000 since 1995 in political contributions from the two defense contractors and their employees. Through its PAC and employees, MZM gave Cunningham and his "American Prosperity PAC" $30,000 over the last decade, while ADCS and its affiliates contributed $85,500 during that period. Isn't it nice to know these people and organizations are all getting rich on the maiming and deaths of the troops on the front line of Bush's war?
