Here’s a pretty good article on the subject.

http://www.slate.com/id/1004633/

When I first read it I came away with the idea he got his first lear-jet trip from Keating in 1982. That would be seven years before be paid it back in 1989. You may be right about it only being five.

What’s undeniable is that McCain didn’t pay back the funds for these trips and vacations until it became obvious that the gratuities would become public during the Keating hearings.

He was required to report the favors and didn’t for five to seven years. He was also the biggest benefactor of Keating derived (donated outright or fund-raised from family or staff) cash.

“Did you really see much of a difference between McCain and Obama?”

Good grief! These are only a partial list..

Immigration
Campaign Finance
Global Warming
Health care
Stimulus
Cap & Trade

McCain’s record is overwhelmingly leftist, treasonous, and anti-American. Same as Obama

“The government of Kosovo — aided by us — IS committing genocide and Clinton & McCain helped them! “

Glad you showed up!

Its because McCain is a patriot to his government, not his people.

From his appearances on the news shows, Hayworth always struck me as a used car salesman.

I'm not that familiar with Arizona politics but looking from the outside, I doubt that he will even come close to McCain.

AK is a troll. Darkwing & Co. are already aware of him. Let him have his fun....for a little while ;-)

Not necessarily a good catch...lol. I just wanted to read precisely what the article had to say.

I already know about the vague links to Abrakoff or whatever the lobbyist’s name.

This primary holds all the promise of a down and dirty campaign.

IMO, JD can win it handily by staying positive and on message. Just like Scott Brown in Massacusetts.

Reread what I wrote. It was clear.

Maybe you don’t know that GOP organizations are not supposed to back a candidate until after the primary. They are supposed to be neutral and let the base pick the candidate in the primary. Then the GOP funds the chosen candidate during the election.

McCain’s group has been breaking that rule on behalf of Rinos they put up all over the country. Jeb told him to back off in the Florida election. Jeb’s son is backing Rubio. Jeb, since he was a GOP governor in the State, is waiting to back whoever wins the primary - which is the polite thing for him to do.

One thing the Senatorial committee did for conservatives is put a target on their Rinos right up front for us. Usually Rinos and act like conservatives and then after they get elected join the Rino club and stab the base in the back.

Exactly. Which is why I posted this on another thread: "Has anyone ever noticed that John McCain looks a lot like Martha Coakley?" :)

I rarely get into the troll business unless they’re blatantly obnoxious to fellow members -— hit and run trolls -— or when I’m lucky enough to be around for a vanity post...lol.

It’s ALWAYS THE SPELLING. Misspelled words!!! We’ve had so many laughs over the years.

How could any FReeper support a liberal like McCrazy? Or are you just a troll from DU or Moveon?

I like your list!

It’s excellent and a sure winner.

On McCain’s side, he has one excellent fact: NO EARMARKS EVER.

That’s all I can think of.

LOL. And Coakley looked like Geraldine Ferrara to me, (when Geraldine was younger of course) and Coakley had the tiny brain and attitude of Barbara Boxer. :)
