John McCain: the Keating 5 scandal was an evil librul plot against him

I'm listening to the McCain campaign conference call about John McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal. McCain's lawyer just said that the Keating Five investigation was "political" as it concerned John McCain. He shouldn't even have been admonished by the Senate, his lawyer says. This opens up the entire question of McCain's supposed contrition. If McCain thinks he did nothing wrong, and that it was wrong for the Senate to scold him for his actions during the Keating Five Scandal, then he isn't contrite at all, he isn't sorry at all. He's learned nothing. You can't turn a new leaf when you don't think you did anything wrong. This is one hell of an admission. Get more on the Keating Five Scandal at the new Obama campaign Web site, KeatingEconomics.com And here is the Obama campaign's new documentary about McCain's involvement in this ethics scandal:

What about his son's pull out as audit director just before the S&L board he was a member on failed!

McCain's 'maverick-reformer' bullshit came AFTER the Keating 5 scandal. So, if he feels like he didn't do anything wrong, then how could he suddenly become a maverick who wants to reform Washington?

McCain deserves the Keating Scandal being brought up after the mean sleazy way he is running his campaign. If the McCain gang keep on running this campaign in this manner believe me ads will appear on television about the Keating Scandal not just on the internet. McCain deserves this completely.

So, if McCain's 'maverick' status came from him making the 'huge mistake' of keating 5 and learning from it... did he not just destroy that whole personal myth?

How could he be a 'reformer' if he didn't reform and refuses to acknowledge his previous stance on keating 5?

can he even remember yesterday?

I told you this Ayers shit would come back to haunt Obama. I'm glad Obama decided to make the Keating 5 an issue. Why? Because it only validates the Ayers attacks on him. Look for more on the Ayers stuff to come. As well as Wright, and the newcomer, Odgina from Kenya.

The Ayers attacks have already been debunked by every major news publication across the nation.

The Keating 5 thing, however, is FACT.

Most likely the guy from Africa will be debunked too, since pretty much everything out of the MCSame camp is complete bullshit.. and really, if McCain wants to dig up people from Africa we can always go back and revisit Palin's forehead-smacker witchdoctor priest who hates jews.

That Ayers shit has already been debunked. Clearly, the McCain/Palin campaign is going down in flames before the Troopergate report is released this Friday. Whatever they can do to distract from the report that will be harbinger of Palin's short political career.

How does it validate the Ayers attacks? Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was with the Weather Underground. And by the time Obama did meet him, Ayers was a professor.

The Ayers, Wright & Rezko attacks have no relevance because Obama wasn't accused of doing anything wrong. Now, Keating 5 is relevant, because that situation was caused by deregulation, and McCain was in the middle of it, and now the current economic mess is caused by deregulation, and McCain, once again, is in the middle of it.

But the one thing that Republicans haven't seem to learn yet, is that the personal attacks against Obama don't work. Especially with the way the economy is tanking. People are concerned about their jobs, mortages, etc. And that's why McCain is sinking in the polls.

Debunked by who? The media> Laughable. I've seen enough on the net that shows there is more to the story Obama is wanting everyone to believe.

King, it doesn't matter that Obama was 8 when Ayers bombed shit. What matters is his associations with him as an adult. And now, stories that Michelle Obama picked Ayers to headline a forum at the University of Chicago- the same forum Obama was also on. Why is it so hard to admit that the liklihood exists there is a deeper connection between Ayers and Obama than the one Obama wants you to believe? Look at how hard he denied his associations with Wright, then ultimately bowed to political pressure?

And don't worry about the financial part. McCain just tied Obama to the Fannie Mae crap today.

Tomorrow's debate is going to be vicious. About damn time the gloves came off, too.

Considering that Rove and the Republicans have been digging into the Ayers' connection for months and haven't turned up anything, what makes you think there's more to the story?

And this isn't even about Ayers. This is about taking the term 'terrorist' and connecting it to Obama, which is just another short ride to saying he's a Muslim. And Obama didn't deny connections to Wright. In fact, when the Wright thing broke Obama didn't want to break his ties to Wright. It wasn't until Wright kept shooting his mouth off that Obama finally had to sever his relationship with him.

Oh, and if candidates wives are fair game, Cindy McCain had her own ties to the Keating 5 scandal.

And how is McCain going to tie Obama to Fannie and Freddie when his own campaign manager was getting paid by them to have access to McCain?

But we can agree on one thing, it's about time the gloves came off in these debates.

Wow. Just wow.

Mccain and his new lows never fail to surprise.

Grimmlok · October 6th, 2008, 02:19 PM

the media? Yes, like every major newspaper, television news show (aside from FOX but they're a mouthpiece and not real news). They've been debunked thoroughly.

And McCain tying anybody to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac is hilarious.. he's already been tied to them with his own actions and that's why his numbers nosedived.

The gloves should come off.. call out McTard on his shit education, his crashing of planes, his unmavericky maverickness, his strokes, his temper, and his 26 years in washington as a "outsider" not accomplishing much.

Yes.. lets.

Further to that, who's gonna dig it up? Rove and the media haven't been able to. Who's left, Caribou Barbie? She couldnt' dig her way out from under her own ugly hairstyle.
