Wasn’t McCain found not guilty in the Keating Five Scandal? Unlike Obama’s association with an admitted domestic terrorist.

I think he was found less guilty than the other guys, if my memory serves me, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Yes AND he apologized to the country for any sign of impropriety AND he led a number of campaigns to get rid of the same sort of bribes.

If Obama goes after McCain on this, Obama may end up with egg on his face.

Do you really expect the ads will be intellectually honest?

He was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Not only was he not found guilty, he was never charged. The lead Democrat counsel, Robert Bennett, tried to get him dropped entirely from the investigation. That wasn't allowed. Apparently, they needed a Republican to be named so that they could claim "both parties do it". All of the others involved were Democrats.

He wasn’t found “not guilty” because he was never tried as there was no evidence of wrongdoing.

‘’I found nothing in my investigation which caused me to question Senator McCain’s integrity,’’ said Robert Bennett, the Washington lawyer who was special counsel to the ethics panel during what is called the Keating Five investigation.”

"Wasn’t McCain found not guilty in the Keating Five Scandal?"

McCain has nothing to worry about. First off, he was found not guilty. Second, all of the CNN, MSNBC, etc. documentaries have already reported this in their "exposes" - it's old news.

If the 0bomber campaign wants to somehow connect this to the economic downturn, let 'em. McCain has the hammer and it's called the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac - BHO payoff scheme. I would welcome that conversation every day of the week. Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson & Democrats who were warned of a financial meltdown yet decided to look the other way due to huge payoffs is bad news for Barry. BHO's playing with fire on having the root cause of this whole economic mess exposed - himself and all of his Rat friends.

I say bring it, 0bambi.

Everyone...please read this and spread it around. This is the rebuttal to Obama’s ‘Attack McCain for Keating 5’ strategy.
