McCain was one of the S&L crisis figures known as the Keating 5. He wrote letters to banking regulators on behalf of crooked banker Keating and helped get a Keating associate nominated to a banking regulation board. McCain also flew on Keating's private jet which was a violation of ethics rules. Keating's bank, Lincoln Savings & Loan was one of the S&L's that collapsed leaving Americans paying off the debt.

Check out the famous NYTimes article...it's more than about sex.

Won't it be amazing to replace President Bush McFabricator with President McFraud?

3. How can the son and grandson of a traitor who dealt with the Nazis
ever become president?

How can that son, one of the most despicable men in this country, a former head of the CIA ever become president?

How can the grandson, a joke of a failure and someone who's biggest claim to fame was going AWOL from the TANG ever become president?
