Verizon and AT&T provided free cell towers to the McCain ranch, and admit it’s because he’s running for president

For free? Move over Ted Stevens, John McCain is up to bat!

This isn’t funny. That would be an illegal corporate contribution to the McCain campaign. And it’s bribery of a sitting US Senator. Especially after AT&T admits that this is why they gave McCain the free goods – BECAUSE he’s running for president. Are they mad? John McCain wasn’t the Republican candidate yet – and even if he were, corporations can’t donate free favors to his campaign – McCain was one of the many men running for the GOP nomination. (And did AT&T and Verizon offer these donations to other presidential candidates – I’ll bet lots of candidates don’t get good cell coverage at one of their 12 homes.) McCain was a nobody, campaign-wise – how does his being simply a candidate justify AT&T and Verizon giving him a huge illegal bribe? Are AT&T and Verizon stupid?
