who was behind a big portion of the Savings and Loan failures that were the result of deregulation. Neil Bush also made out like a thief (oh yeah, he is a thief) by getting taxpayers to bail him out in the S&L failures that, again, were the result of Ronnie Raygun's bullshit on behalf of speculators - who, let me note again - were bailed out by taxpayers.

So, that's what I'll remember about McCain - that's he's always been on the side of the moneyed few at the expense of the rest of America.

He's never given a shit about the middle class.
