1. McCain likes to talk about being against corruption, like Jack Abramoff

but the truth about just this one guy is murky (by design imho) and let's not forget that no less than Karl Rove and Richard Bruce Cheney "influenced" McCain's "choice" of Sarah Palin instead of McCain's first choice-Joe Lieberman.

And sister Sarah is certainly a friend of the religious right, like Ralph Reed and many others.

Remember that fact as you review a couple of Abramoff related articles that mention John McCain.

Who can add more examples of bs and phoniness to this thread? There's quite a selection to choose from.
