Palin is a corruption fighter. it's no wonder she supports Mccain over this loser.

Are you aware that during the 1980s, McCain took bribes and kickbacks from Charles Keating, whose Savings and Loan was later bailed out by the U.S. taxpayer?

Of course not.

Don't feel bad...my 22 YO daughter had never heard of Chappaquiddick until this morning. I found that out when I told her about the comment Chris Van Hollen made regarding the possibility of Brown defeating Coakley last week.

After I explained it to her, she understood why Democrats shouldn't use "Ted Kennedy", "keys to the car", and "walking away from the scene of an accident" in the same sentence.

Of course not.

The reason we don't know that it because it isn't true. McCain sat in a meeting with Keating. That's it. That's all he did. McCain's name was dragged in to the scandal to make it "bipartisan".

It is clear to me that you don't know much about the Keating Five scandal. That doesn't stop you from smearing Senator McCain, though.

If ethics were important to you, there is no way you could compare McCain's involvement in the Keating Five with Hayworth's involvement in the Abramoff scandal. The Abramoff scandal enlarged the personal bank account of JD and Mary Hayworth through Hayworth's PAC. No money went directly to McCain in the Keating Five.

Whereas Hayworth was cleared for corruption, Mr. McLame was not cleared and is still gaming - now with Soros.

“McCain took bribes and kickbacks from Charles Keating...”

Prove it.
