    I dont think this example of abusin his govermental position will hurt McCain.

    The media typically dont pounce on us Christian Conservatives candidates over their exploitive behavior.

    Media only makes issue of stuff liek 'whether a candidate wears a flag pin on every suit coat, every day & night.'

    I remember recently comin accrost this members bio and bein quite surprised that Mainstream Media never made anything of the story in the bio.

    I mean, the way GW made his fortune speaks volumes.

    Well, it WOULDA spoken volumes ... but mainstream media never wrote any pages to compile a volume. Just the lowly Texas papers.

        McCain doesn't do earmarks, he's got other ways of giving away taxpayers' assets.

          Maybe I didn't see the whole picture with McCain 7 years ago or things have changed a lot, but the more I learn about him the less I think of him.
