Mackruption Based on Bucketed Dollars of Grease

We know from the prior blog, Mack has been greased in excess of 1.2 million to date.  Who did the greasing?  This is a post in progress as I compile the data, which is going to take awhile. So please be patient as I tabulate all these greasy bribes for special interest groups.

So far, the biggest greasers to date for the incumbent are the following special interest groups to which as this post progresses, I will consolidate by PAC type.  For example, a lot of these corporations like financial institutions, health care companies, tobacco and liquor companies, that are all too big to fail, always like to do a lot of greasing.  I am starting this list with most of those that gave 10k of hog fat to start compiling this data. So take these amounts and see why the things you want as an individual do not mean squat to Mackruption.

Greasing Mackruption for 10,000 or more include:

National Beer Wholesalers Association  PAC:         $41,000
AT&T Inc. Federal PAC                                  $32,000
OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC PAC                        $31,000
American Bankers Association PAC                        $25,500
Darden Restaurants Inc. Employees PAC                $20,000
American Medical Association PAC                        $19,000
Comcast Corp. PAC                                               $19,000
Honeywell Corporation PAC                                  $18,000
HSBC North America PAC                                    $15,500
Koch Industries PAC                                              $13,500
American Resort Dvlp. Association                         $13,000
Davita Inc. PAC                                                      $12,500

      Subtotal for  PACS Mackruption Calls Back: $260,000


Cheap PACS only bribing with chump change of 10,000

Americans for For a Republican Majority        $10,000
Republican Majority Fund                               $10,000


National Association of Realtors PAC             $10,000
Radiation Therapy Services, Inc. PAC            $10,000
Rely on Your Beliefs Fund                              $10,000

 Subtotal for cheap PACS that might get a X-Mas Card  $50,000

Cheap PACS that probably do not get that much from Mackruption

Arent Fox LLP (AFPAC)                                             $9,000
Automotive International Free Trade PAC                     $8,000
Home Depot, a measly                                                 $5,000
American College of Radiology Association PAC         $4,500

Stay tuned as I try to get all the greasers ranked by dollar amount
and industry type. Then, just for fun, we are really looking forward
to totaling the amount of pork called earmarks are given by the
alleged "far right fiscal conservative" and his MackPenny Plan.

Clearly, when it comes to grease, MackDollars is a more
correct term for this person who has to be held accountable
for our nation's 14 trillion in federal debt including FL 11.2%
rate of unemployed as reported.

Mackruption: Greasy Mack Bribes from Special Interest Groups

Greasing the fat pig that feeds you back, with pork and special interest legislation. It is always interesting to see which special interest groups like to grease the pig by revealing their PAC contributions to the incumbent.  Which tends to explain why our national economy is in such a mess.

Here is the incumbent's bribes and contributions from special interest groups over the years.  See this site for a list of all his cronies right here at this link: http://www.congress.org. For example, the American Banker's Association loves the incumbent.  Wait until you see how much they have greased the Mackruption.


The greasing for the 2012 election cycle is still pretty light to today's date for the incumbent.  Here are the totals below:


2011-2012:            $72,000
2009-2010:          $157, 230
2007-2008           $297, 700
2005-2006           $319,268
2003-2004           $439,498
Grand Total:                               $1,285,696.  

Then, as we continue this blog post, we will do our best to keep this data up to date as the money from corporations really starts rolling in due to the position of the United States Supreme Court.  It must be good to be the incumbent.  I am sure he looks forward to getting a lot of corporate money, in addition to all the bribes and greasing he already has received from his crony buddies, called PACS; or political action committees.

Furthermore, we are going to do an analysis of why these PACS gave the incumbent to date over a million dollars trying to find what legislation he sponsored. Based on this election cycle, the incumbent has introduced 12 sponsored bills-none of them have been approved by Congress.  So, why do they keep trying to bribe this guy?  He cannot seem to do much, even if you bribe him.  And with today's Florida rate of unemployment being ranked 44th in the nation at 11.2%, why should we thank, much less re-elect this yahoo back to being your congressman?  

Beats us.   Finally, at some point, we are going to also look at the incumbent's record on earmarks also, since Mack claims to be, and and is categorized as a far right fiscal conservative.  Is he?  

Voters of Florida need to know before November, 2012.  Today, his staff in Washington refused to give a residential address in the congressional district for the incumbent. 


We did find however find out today that it appears he owns a condominium at Gulf Harbour located at 15301 McGregor Blvd. Fort Myers, FL, zip code of 33908. The unit is unknown to date.  But, we will find it from Lee County Public Records. We don't really think he spends much time there, or in Florida at all.  We think he likes all his real estate held elsewhere, especially Palm Springs, CA.

We can also tell that he owns other real estate of well.  He owns some real estate in Colorado based on his financial disclosure report filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives; also available from the Florida Secretary of State web site.  

And we assume more than likely, he also owns with his second wife, some real property in Palm Springs, CA.  Or, maybe she owns the real estate in California because she certainly has a lot money than the incumbent does, as shown by all her royality income and investments in CA in stocks and bonds. Good luck in getting the incumbent to give a full and transparent disclosure.  However, there is always a paper trail. 

Sooner or later, we will access those county records, just like you can do here in Lee County, FL.  Instead of searching public records for Connie Mack IV, use his real name-Cornelius Harvey McGillicuddy. Keeping track of this trickster incumbent is pretty hard considering he does not like using his real legal name unless he has to, which is not very often.
