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.

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.

Keating 5 is the least of McCain’s many sins against our country.
