    Ok, I noticed one part of Sarah’s speech that is wrong. She rightfully pointed out Obama’s double-speech, but then wrongly said that wherever John McCain goes and whoever he talks to he’s the same man. That’s not simply not true.

    As an example, when John McCain talks to conservatives, he says that he cares about protecting our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. But at Congress, and in front of La Raza, McCain pushes for amnesty and open borders.

    And how about how McCain pretends to be a lobbyist reformer, while at the same time, the McCain-Feingold bill doubles the cap on hard money . And the so-called reformer was one of the Keating 5, and sold Senatorial favors to help out jailed Savings and Loan kingpin, Charles Keating. McCain and Keating’s fraud cost citizens and taxpayers $600 million.

    Welcome back, wingedearth!

    I don’t excuse McCain for his role in the Keating Five scandal, however; his role, as well as John Glenn’s role were considered the least culpable of the Keating Five and only received a mild rebuke from the Senate Ethics Committee. Here’s and excerpt from a good article on this:

    From: The Arizona Republic – Chapter V: The Keating Five

    ‘THE ULTIMATE SURVIVOR’
    In November 1990, the Senate Ethics Committee convened to decide what punishment, if any, should be doled out to the Keating Five.

    Robert Bennett, who would later represent President Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones case, was the special counsel for the committee. In his opening remarks, he slammed DeConcini but went lightly on McCain, the lone Republican ensnared with four Democrats.

    ”In the case of Senator McCain, there is very substantial evidence that he thought he had an understanding with Senator DeConcini’s office that certain matters would not be gone into at the meeting with (bank board) Chairman (Ed) Gray,” Bennett said.

    ”Moreover, there is substantial evidence that, as a result of Senator McCain’s refusal to do certain things, he had a fallout with Mr. Keating.”

    McCain, the ultimate survivor, had dodged another missile.

    Among the Keating Five, McCain received the most direct contributions from Keating. But the investigation found that he was the least culpable, along with Glenn. McCain attended the meetings but did nothing afterward to stop Lincoln’s death spiral.

    I supported McCain, 8 years ago, as I support him, now.

    He was thrown under the bus by none other than the extreme right wing of the Republican Party, right here, in SC.

    Turns out, Bush is just another Socialist Lite. Hasn’t championed much in the way of any domestic issues.

    McCain will lead for the next several years, along with Sarah Palin.
