McCain said on Sunday that his campaign manager Rick Davis has had no connection to the failed real estate firm Freddie Mac for several years, and on Monday it comes out that Rick Davis has received nearly 2.5 MILLION dollars from Freddie Mac since 2000, including $15000/month upto LAST MONTH!!! Can we believe ANYTHING McCain/Palin says anymore? Their strategy seems to be lie until you get caught, then sweep it under the rug and move on to the next lie. I think the media needs to stop beating around the bush and follow TIME magazine’s lead in calling a spade a spade – McCain/Palin are liars. McCain Aide’s Firm Was Paid by Freddie Mac

WASHINGTON — One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.
The disclosure undercuts a statement by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years.
Mr. Davis’s firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month. No one at Davis & Manafort other than Mr. Davis was involved in efforts on Freddie Mac’s behalf, the people familiar with the arrangement said.
