    I like the way Torrie Clark talked about the McCain temper.

    my day just keeps getting better and better. I will sleep well tonight.



    Like the last version, "The One - Road to Denver," edits together footage of Obama speeches, swooning supporters and clips from The Ten Commandments.

    The video doesn't seem to be doing so well, though, most likely because mention of it is overshadowed by news that McCain's family owns a whole cul-de-sac worth of houses in four states, worth nearly $14 million, and that the 71-year-old Republican nominee couldn't even remember how many homes he had.

    Just 200 people had viewed "The One" on YouTube in the first hour or so it was online, compared to more than 75,000 viewers of an Obama ad attacking McCain over his forgetfulness about his houses.

    If Hillary somehow pulls the rabbit out of the hat and wins the nomination? Are you fairweather's going to vote for her?

    This, from 1990: http://www.daylife.com/photo/0ces1mi4UTehl

    "McCain 's ethics entanglement with a wealthy banker ultimately convicted of swindling investors was such a disturbing, formative experience in his political career that he compares the scandal in some ways to the five years he was tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam."

    Man, you'd think his POW card would get a little worn around the edges by now.

    John: the loss of the S&L collapse is closer to $1.4 Trillion.

    Here is the list of the failed banks. Note Silverado was $2.2 Billion Neil Bush's looting was just average.Lincoln which is the Keating bank was $2.3 Billion. George Bush was in the Sunrise Savings for a paltry $680 million.

    Also an interesting site on the Bush Crime Family which details the Bush crimes going back to good old Prescott the Nazi.

    All this is geat Joe, but I don't think the msm really cares.
  • donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago
    The MSM will eventually catch up, in about 4 months, just like they did with The McCain Houses. Someone should ask McCain his address of residence. I'd bet dollars to donuts he doesn't even know.

    Did I forget to mention that McCain's a POW and Obama has black skin? My bad for being biased.

    Dear Obama,
    Please mention the Keating 5 in every speech and interview. Thankies
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Yeah, Cindy and her Dad had a Shopping Center development deal with Keating. It actually could have been McCain's deal, just in Cindy and her Dad's name.

    McCain would have been strung up if it was in his name, and he knew that. So, who really knows whose deal it was.

    (I think about that when I learn about all the homes he has--in Cindy's name. Who did he buy them from? Who rents some of them? Who did he sell some of them too? There could be a lot of dirty dealings going on there---but in Cindy's name.)

    Quite a crooked couple, actually.

    McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.[8] Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in lawful[14] political contributions from Keating and his associates.[15] In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.[6][16]

    I think the media should investigate McCains gardeners, housekeepers, etc. Are they undocumented workers, if not are they getting paid a decent wage and how many employees do they have tending these homes. I think it is fair to ask these questions since the presidency should be transparent and McCain cannot continue to claim that he was a POW and we do not have a right to question his wife's properties. She is married to him and it is community property!

    I was surprised John King's piece encompassed all the scandals. I was afraid it would be another white wash. The most telling, and amazing, response from McCrazy was regarding his glib attitude about getting a marriage license while still married to Carol McCain. How can anyone, who righteously intones, "Marriage is between One Man and One Woman!" flipantly state, "That happened thirty years ago and I'm happily married now," when asked why he committed polygamy!

    One thing to remember about the Keating 5 was that besides McCain, the other 4 were Democrats. And, not only that, according to the Wiki page on the subject, McCain was basically cleared with the panel simply criticizing him for exercising poor judgment. Granted, he was involved and was under investigation, but the fact that 3 Democratic Senators were accused of improperly aiding Keating while McCain was not leaves a door open for this issue to be turned and used against the Democrats.

    The republicans will regret the day they decided to go negative. There is SO much more on McSAME yet to come out. And it will come out.

    The best McSAME can come up with is Rezko......hello, there is no 'there' there. Pa-lease.

    Quite stunning. I hope the Obama campaign jumps on this one. The Keating five issue is the bombshell I have been waiting for. .....All in good time.....all in good time.......

    Now leave McSAME before someone drops a house on you too.
