The Democrat investigating the Keating 5 found absolutely no wrongdoing by McCain. He went to his Crat taskmasters and told them McCain should not be part of the investigation.

The filth told him he could not let McCain go because it would look bad for them...all the other 4 were Democrats.
You were saying?-

It's clear you've never read or heard both sides of the McCain divorce. After John came back from Vietnam, he was a changed man. Actually both people were different people when they separated and divorced. War will do that to you. It changed me and certainly my wife.

Instead of ripping on a vet, why not explain how Barry could manage to sit in a Afro centrist church preaching hate and separatist for 23 years. How about releasing his real birth certificate. His campaign kick off planned in Ayers home. Better yet, explain how he's let his 1/2 brother living in Africa live on less than a dollar a month. Hope and change, yea right. Just another liberal from the long line of do as I tell you to do not as I do.-

Yeah, I've read both sides and stick by my version. A member of my family was a POW with McCain at the Hanoi Hilton, but he didn't dump the woman who raised his children alone during the 6 years he was MIA/POW. Even Nancy Reagan, who gave Carol a job at the White House, shunned McSame after he dumped her for Cindy. Carol says the marriage ended because "John wanted to be 25, not 40." And why is Cindy's haf-sister voting for Obama? Could it be because Cindy declares herself an "only child" and hasn't given her a penny? Wright is old news and even neocons know damn well Obama's birth certificate has been authenticated by factcheck.

Not true. The Senate is a very collegial club. They don't discipline their own easily. They publicly criticized McCain for exercising "Poor judgment". Cranston was "reprimanded". Riegle and DeConcini were "Criticized for acting improperly". McCain and Glenn got off with "Exercising poor judgment".
You try loosing 150 billion dollars of taxpayer money outside the Senate, and you get a whole lot worse than "Exercising poor judgment" or -- shudder -- "A reprimand".
The telling point is that the whole debacle was brought about by McCain's passion for deregulation and laissez-faire capitalism -- and McCain learned NOTHING from it. He's been busily deregulating us into the 700 Billion mortgage meltdown.
He now claims he's going to "Clean up the greed and corruption on Wall Street and K Street. Riiiight. Erm, that's what the regulators you hate actually are for, Senator.-

In April 1986, she and her father invested $359,100 in a shopping center project with Phoenix banker Charles Keating.[15] This, combined with her role as a bookkeeper who later had difficulty finding receipts for family trips on Keating's jet,[22] caused complications for her husband during the Keating Five scandal, when he was being examined for his role regarding oversight of Keating's bank.

Unlike most of you lefties, even though I'm a Republican I have friends on both sides of the isle. I know Bob Bennett and in an open discussion with a few cigars and brandy, he was very clear, the attacks on McCain were prosecutorial misconduct and done as a political cheap shot.
Reply
Oh, in case I didn't mention it, Bob was also appointed to handle the investigation. He is a life long Democrat and worked with me on a number of legal issues.

The whole thing was squashed because the whole Bush family was knee deep in the scandal and daddy was the president at the time.

See that is where GW learned it from. Reagan and his Daddy.
McCain is a straight out liar. He probably used his POW status to slide by just as John Glen probably used his astronaut fame.
Either way, McCain needs to just stop lying and admit he is in over his head.
He probably thinks if he gets to the Whitehouse he will score some strange like Clinton did. LOL-

When this whole Savings and Load scandal broke I was wondering why it was all swept under the rug and with me being in the generation that witnessed the JFK assassination and seeing the Warren Report that followed it didn't surprise me that the government would somehow cover their posteriors on this but this had a smell to it. Republicans would have done anything to destroy the Democrats at that time just as they caught them in the "Post Office Scandal" a few years later. so when this was suddenly hushed up with the taxpayers paying the bill, I knew there was something that the American people weren't being told. If the FBI was allowed to continue their investigation, it would have made daddy look bad so the rest is history.

Sounds like a case of poor judegement by McCain . SO we have McLame making bad decisions on fianancial matters costing people their life savings. Yeah lets see if hes learned his lesson. Altho if you look his push for deregualtion has led to the disaster we;re facing now. And CPns the part you always leave out when you mention the bill he was for well after it wasw being tossed about and defeated by a REPUBLICAN controlled committee was he was FOr Deregulation BEFORE he was against it BEFORE he was for it again. WHatever the people want to hear is what McSame will say. Lets not forget what the Republicans objected to in teh original bailout wasnt 700 billion going to Wall Street but the call for OVERSIGHT on how the money is used and accountability.

This is a long and complicated story about how Obama backers were behind the mortgage industry meltdown. It hast to start some where, so lets start with a well known Chicago name Penny Pritzker. It starts with a bank failure.
Reply
Unfortunately, this wasn't the case for the 1,406 people who lost much of their life savings when Superior Bank of Chicago went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits. This collapse came amid harsh criticism of how Superior's owners promoted sub-prime home mortgages. As part of a settlement, the owners paid $100 million and agreed to pay another $335 million over 15 years at no interest.
The uninsured depositors were dealt another blow recently when the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a lower court decision to put any recovered money toward the debt that the bank owners owe the federal government before the depositors get anything.
But this seven-year-old bank failure has relevance in another way today, since the chair of Superior's board for five years was Penny Pritzker, a member of one of America's richest families and the current Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, the same candidate who has lashed out against predatory lending.

That is blatantly wrong.
Reply
They found that McCain had done plenty wrong, actually the most wrong. But McCain was in political survival mode, on TV every chance he had explaining to all who would listen how he was a POW.
Behind the scenes, McCain was placing all the blame and focus on the others. He was truly a backstabber and a phony. McCain took more money and favors from Keating than anybody in the world. He should have been charged with felony tax dodging, which he only admitted to after caught. You or I would have been, but then again we`re not former POWs like John keeps reminding us every time he is politically in trouble. -
