When the real dirt on McCain starts flying next September and October, most
people are going to be amazed at the depths to which he sunk in order to
become wealthy and powerful.
MaCain deserves all the ridicule he gets. "Mr. Maverick" took the "deal"
in
2000 rather than fight Bush/Rove thus giving us the worse 8 year president
in history. Thanks McAsswipe.

"Keating was more than a constituent to McCain--he was a longtime friend
and
associate. McCain met Keating in 1981 at a Navy League dinner in Arizona
where McCain was the speaker. Keating was a former naval aviator himself,
and the two men became friends. Keating raised money for McCain's two
congressional campaigns in 1982 and 1984, and for McCain's 1986 Senate
bid.
By 1987, McCain campaigns had received $112,000 from Keating, his
relatives,
and his employees--the most received by any of the Keating Five. (Keating
raised a total of $300,000 for the five senators.)
After McCain's election to the House in 1982, he and his family made at
least nine trips at Keating's expense, three of which were to Keating's
Bahamas retreat. McCain did not disclose the trips (as he was required to
under House rules) until the scandal broke in 1989. At that point, he paid
Keating $13,433 for the flights."
The article isn't very long, but it is revealing regarding John McCain's
"ethics".
