I think I'm gonna spew!
i’m not convinced. mccain will have to make his case.
about the only thing that might convince me at this point would be if mccain picks romney for vp.
“John McCain, the Anti-Clinton.” To be Anti-Clinton, McCain would have to be a seemingly supernatural good conservative. I just don’t see McCain that way and will not vote for him.
It's interesting that a man who has close ties to John McCain is funding a PAC, called, Trust Huckabee, which ran the push polls for Huckabee in Florida and Michigan.
In case you don't know who Charles Lindner is, maybe this will remind you (I hear that he is also heavily involved in the carbon credit scheme and stands to benefit greatly from the McCain Lieberman legislation):
The Keating One,' and Carl Lindner From 1981—the year before John McCain ran for U.S. Congress—until the early 1990s, the former Navy pilot was totally beholden to junk bond swindler Charles Keating for his political fortunes. When the S&L scandal exploded and Federal prosecutors were breathing down Keating's neck, it was McCain who tried to bully Federal regulators into backing off. While the affair became known as the "Keating Five" scandal, none of the other members of the Senate and House implicated in the ethics violations, were as closely tied to Keating as John McCain.
And Charles Keating was no "loan assassin." He was but one player in a larger organized crime apparatus that ran the $200 billion-plus rip-off, in what may have been the biggest actual RICO (racketeering) scheme ever.
Between 1959 and the late 1980s, Charles Keating was the business partner of Carl Lindner, the Cincinnati, Ohio-based financier who would be one of the central figures in the $200 billion S&L rip-off. In 1959, Lindner and Keating co-founded American Financial Corporation (AFC). Keating served as the mortgage and insurance company's general counsel, and later as vice president.
Between 1974 and 1976, Lindner and Keating engineered a series of stock purchases and mergers with some of the leading figures in the Lansky crime syndicate—who had followed the Bronfman family recipe, and gone from "rags, to rackets, to riches, to respectability.
When you have two equally bad choices... I would rather the Democrats get credit for the disaster than to try and defend the Republican disaster.
Fascism is fascism, doesn’t matter whether it is done by a Democrat or a Republican administration.
I am a conservative first and a Republican because they have tended to be conservative. But I will not vote for McCain if he is GOP nominee. John McCain does not fit the bill. So, if he or a Dem wins. So be it.My message to the party is DON’T NOMINATE ANOTHER MCCAIN!
“McCain Appeal - A far superior choice to the Democratic alternatives.”
FAR superior? FAR?????
I’d have gone with “slightly” it’s a lot easier lie to pull off.
More boogey man tactics. sheesh
Wouldn't McCain have been court-marshalled if he had violated the rules by allowing himself to be released before his comrades in arms?
And doesn't this guy have anything more recent to prove McCain's character? I mean, if you are a man of character and principle, shouldn't there be some evidence of it a little more recent than the 1960s? How about how he stood up to the Savings and Loan people when they started offering money to cover up for their crimes? Oh wait, he took that money -- the only republican to do so. But he showed character by owning up to his mistake -- oh wait, his response was to claim that everybody did it, they were all corrupt, but that he was so much better because he was willing to admit it.
