McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five
Phoenix New Times ^ | November 29, 1989 | Tom Fitzpatrick

Posted on 03/21/2019 7:43:07 AM PDT by budj

You're John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker.

We pay a high price when these people engage in corruption and we do not send them to jail. Think “John Murtha”.

John McCain and Jeff Flake turned the home state of Barry Goldwater blue.

The last 40 years no matter who you voted for it always turned out to be John McCain. This time around Obamacare and the dossier.

McCain was the only Republican to vote for keeping Obamacare alive.

And he gave the fake Trump dossier to FBI.

The reality is that if the AG at the time (Dick Thornburgh) had done his job....McCain would have faced federal charges, been convicted, and probably doing at least three years in prison. The Bush administration saved McCain in the end. For all practical purposes, McCain was simply a dimwit and unable to comprehend federal law practices.

Thanks for the reminder, budj

There are more than a few “Never Trumperrs” who need to read this.

It’s odd that so much of this is coming up lately, considering the guys been dead for awhile now. I wonder if we’re about to learn something even more damning about McCain soon?

Had McCain not got caught with his hand in the cookie jar along with 4 democrats, how different things would have been.

“Think “John Murtha”.”

Actually, no. I believe that I will think of the grifter couple Bill & Hilary Clinton, both of whom should be in jail.

“It’s odd that so much of this is coming up lately, considering the guys been dead for awhile now. I wonder if we’re about to learn something even more damning about McCain soon?” Could be. I’m guessing there’s plenty of dirt on “Last in His Class” McCain. Being deceased, he’s now a historical figure and as such he’s fair game for critical objective reviews of his life. Meghan McCain, aka Pillsbury Dough Girl, will just have to get used to it 😂....

Personally I would be happy if the name of Senator John McCain were never mentioned again. He is no American hero...he was a traitor and turncoat to our nation republic on many counts...period. And....today his remains are burning in “Hell” with his Master, SATAN, the Devil Himself!!!

As for his wife, Cindy & daughter, Meghan, they can complain all they want about how mistreated McCain was...but, folks, even though you might not like it, the truth always still remains the truth.

Senator, John McCain was a low life piece of human scum and vermin...A hater from head to toe and a man lacking one iota of loyalty to his country and its leaders. He himself, was weak, inept and lost at sea, as he so ardently he served his evil, destructive, Master, SATAN, himself.

The reason McCain is in the ‘news’ again is because of the recently released transcripts of the Strzok/Page testimony that fingered him as the mule that disseminated the fake dossier, which everyone knew, but now it’s official. Trump commented on it, and now the media is trying to make it look (quite successfully) like Trump started it.

This is the kind of article we need to see. No need to assault McCain’s character. Just keep getting verified stuff written in reliable sources. There really should be a lot more about McCain’s role in arming and supporting terrorists in Syria. McCain is everything President Trump says. With enough information in the spotlight, people will come to that conclusion on their own.

How did McCain win the 2008 Republican presidential nomination then?
