A Chance In Hell Winning Over Women: The Company McCain Keeps

John McCain suddenly and at the last minute cancelled a fundraiser at the home of Clayton Williams, the Republican millionaire oil company owner who made his mark 20 years ago running for governor of Texas against the late Ann Richards, a Democrat.

According to a Washington Post report, when word got out that Clayton Williams was the same "gentleman" who once remarked that the weather was like rape "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it," and said of his campaign against Richards, that he would "head her and hoof her and drag her through the dirt" like cattle, the McCain campaign realized they should then scramble to cover their conservative backends.

In a report from local paper, the Midland Reporter, Williams, who has already raised $300,000 for McCain for the fundraiser at his home, illustrated the fear that grips him when he envisions an election win by Barack Obama. Williams said "he has no desire to see Obama’s “socialist” policies enacted and that all businessmen and entrepreneurs would be negatively affected should the Illinois senator win the White House."

“It is a pittance to the taxes they  (Democrats) will take from the industry,” Williams said of the $300,000 raised.

WTF! I swear McCain has the sense of a gnat. Clayton Williams. For goodness' sake. Nobody with an ounce of moral will touch that man in Texas. I was volunteering passively for Richards when Williams made that remark. I will NEVER forget it. It was the first HUGE burn of fury I ever felt towards a politician. After that, I got much more active and personally---as a dirt poor college student on scholarship---paid for flyers to hand out throughout the university in support of Richards.

Clayton Williams. Good grief.

He's not even a good ole boy. He's a racist sexist pig.

Thanks for running this.
