Bull hockey! McCain slithered right through it.
MediaWeasel, on 08/21/2008, -1/+11Another reason the McCains may have for having separate accounting records - and Cindy refuses to let hers be vetted as she says she's not the one running for President. Uhuh.

There's something rotten in the state of Arizona ..
- barfooz, on 08/22/2008, -0/+2Hey, keep McCain and Arizona separate. Arizona's a perfectly nice and friendly place.
  - MediaWeasel, on 08/23/2008, -0/+2You're right. But you have rocks. Things live under rocks.
    
    :-)
poprocksandsoda, on 08/21/2008, -7/+2Ties? He was considered the token Republican since the rest were all Democrats if you people don't know your history. In addition, he and John Glenn were cleared. To this day many people believe his "involvement" was to draw attention away from the Democrats.
Dibou, on 08/21/2008, -7/+1Perhaps you guys missed the whole part where McCain was investigated and exonerated by the ethics committee.
justinx0r, on 08/21/2008, -9/+1John McCain was cleared by the Senate Ethics Committee which was controlled by Democrats. He didn't do anything wrong.
- rationalbeats, on 08/22/2008, -2/+3Hello McCain staffer. I think you should be focusing on how to spin the story by your client that he has no idea how many multi-million dollar homes he owns throughout the country.
  
  ***** loser.
  - justinx0r, on 08/22/2008, -1/+1Sorry, it's a fact.
- Palquito, on 08/22/2008, -0/+0Just because McCain did not meet the level of prosecution doesn't mean he wasn't hip deep in the thing. In another thread you criticized Obama's association with Rezco. Here's wikipedia about McCain's association with Keating, a "known felon" as you said before:
  
  "McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.[8] Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates.[14] In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[6][15]"
  
  Don't be so certain you want to play the Rezco card with Obama. Your own candidate has PLENTY of baggage he doesn't want dug through.
rationalbeats, on 08/22/2008, -0/+4Why does John McCain want to re-intoduce the draft? And why does he have no idea how many homes he owns?

Think about that, a man has no idea how many homes he owns. How far outta touch can this old man be?
gotacalc, on 08/22/2008, -0/+3"Critics say they are concerned about Sen. John McCain's ties to the "Keating 5" scandal."

Concerned? No, try "excited". That's not to say that this isn't completely true...
algaeturd, on 08/22/2008, -0/+1A lot of Obama supporters are too young to remember this whole thing. Now is a GREAT time to brush up on the scandal. Also the scandal where Cindy McCain was stealing prescription painkillers from poor children. That's 100% legit. She even admitted to it.
