I love what happens when i go away…
new resident.. i am sorry to have to join the chorus.. but Charlabob nailed it when she said that if he was a democrat, he wouldn’t even be in contention now… he just doesn’t make the grade…
but.. if you would like some more substantial reasons why…
McCain has openly interceded with government agencies on behalf of his friends…
and many times he had a financial interest in their success as well as a political interest.
Does the name Keating mean anything to you. McCain’s wife was involved in a financial partnership with him just prior to his collapse. McCain was in charge of the committee that investigated the corruption of his fellow senators in that one. talk about putting the wolf in charge of the henhouse. i think mild censure was the only result on that one…
btw.. lest we forget.. that one resulted in a massive government bailout.
does any of this sound familiar?
then there is the small matter of the coal companies in Arizona who he helped displace the nahavo nation from their lands and resettle them on toxic land… just for the fun of it… oh wait, maybe a little profit and campaign contributions as well…. read what the united nations council on human rights had to say about that move. but then, they were just Indians:(
then there is the small matter of McCain’s interceding for gambling syndicates when his wife (Anheuser Bush) has a lucrative beer distribution contract in Nevada…
then there is the minor matter of his attempt to intervene in the communications industry for the group that his “there is nothing improper going on between us” lobbyist friend is employed by…
Those examples by the way came from one evening’s tiptoeing through links … and you will find I left links to all of that further up in the thread.
now.. shall we talk about his new and improved stance on torture.. as long as it isn’t happening to him?
Or how about his willingness to confuse the nations of Iraq and Iran with AlQaueda? Or to lump all muslims into the cover of terrorists…
does the word gooks bring anything to mind? probably not, you’re too young.
i could go on and on.. but i am determined not to let John McCain spoil my digestion today and i just took my prilosec:)
