AP: McCain cuts pork, literally and figuratively, at Michigan pork roast fundraiser w/ MI Attorney General Mike Cox
The AP reported on Tuesday that Senator McCain cut pork, both literally and figuratively, at a fundraising event on a farm in Oakland County, Michigan. Excerpts:
HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. - The troop surge does not guarantee U.S. success in Iraq, but announcing a pullout date is a recipe for mass killing and the eventual return of American forces, presidential hopeful John McCain told backers Tuesday.
“If we set a date for withdrawal, there will be chaos, there will be genocide, and we will be back,” the Arizona Republican told listeners during an evening pig roast fundraiser at a farm about 30 miles northwest of Detroit.
About 100 people filled a sweltering pole barn, sitting at red- and blue-covered tables to dine on pork sliced from the whole-roasted carcass, as well as chicken, potatoes, green bean casserole and chocolate cake…
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox hosted the fundraiser at Hoffman Farms, which straddles Oakland County’s Highland and Rose townships. Donors paid $50 per person for the pig roast or $250 for the pig roast and a private reception with McCain.
Those who donated or raised $1,000 for the Arizona senator’s campaign were listed as hosts.
