McCAIN'S FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINT REJECTED UNANIMOUSLY BY FEC
Arizona Patriots-Resistnet.com ^ | June 16, 2010

Phoenix, AZ (June 16) - In a unanimous decision, three Democrats and
three Republicans on the Federal Election Commission, threw out a
frivolous complaint by a shill for Sen. John McCain.


Former Attorney General Grant Woods filed a complaint claiming
then-unannounced U.S. Senate Candidate J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) was using
his radio show in December of 2009 to further his political aspirations.

Hayworth was not a candidate for office and did not announce his
candidacy until months later. At the time Woods, who once served as
McCain's chief of staff, freely admitted he talked to McCain about the
complaint
.

"It was no surprise that Sen. Mc Cain wanted this baseless complaint
filed," Hayworth said. "And it's no surprise it was quickly dismissed by
the FEC. Not only was this a waste of taxpayer dollars, it was more of
the same pattern of fear and intimidation regularly practiced by the
Senator."

The McCain-Woods complaint led to KFYI removing Hayworth from the air,
paying off his contract and depriving him of his primary source of
income, Hayworth said
.

"As I said during my final broadcast, while John McCain often claims
that campaign contributions have a corrupting influence, he fails to
recognize what should be painfully obvious: that his powerful position
as the former Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and his
willingness to intimidate because of that power, is just as corrupt, and
is another reason why Arizona voters will retire Mr. McCain in the
August 24 Primary," Hayworth said.

This article is in the AZ Republic also. McCain's spokesman says that the fact that JD entered the race after leaving the show was "proof" he was using the show as campaign platform.

Article is open for comments, at least for now.

I refuse to allow myself to get my hopes up that McKeating is soon to be a former Senator.

McCain has always been a bully. He has used his position on the various committees to intimidate people. He’s just a another example of a Washington thug.

Yes, McCain has to go! Enough of his brand of dirty politics.

John McCain has a long time, well known GAMBLING problem! His support and $ come from questionable people with questionable ties.

Mafia ties:

In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

McCain's mafia ties go back further than that ... all the way back to Cindy McCain's mafia connected dad, who launched McCain's career and put him on the nipple of Charles Keating and friends. Cindy's dad took the fall for the mafia over illegal liqour distribution charges and was rewarded with a beer distributorship when he got out of the clink. Cindy's dad also helped the mob do some dirty business in the New Mexico horse racing market back in the day.

Why did McCain celebrate his birthday on a Mobster's Yacht?

The photograph substantiates reports that in late August, 2006, McCain celebrated his 70th birthday aboard a yacht, the Celine Ashley, rented by A-list con man Raffaello Follieri and his then-movie star girlfriend Anne Hathaway.

Follieri, who posed as Vatican chief financial officer in order to win friends and investments, pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Manhattan district court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering.
