McCain had the Keating Five scandal. He is pro-amnesty and pro cap and trade. He was a co-sponsor of both bills. He tried to limit political free speech. He is against drilling in ANWR. He is against making English the official language of the US. He supports candidates like Charlie Crist over conservative candidates. He wants to close Gitmo. I could on and on why this cancer must be removed from the GOP. And it will be. The timing could not be better.
Kabar....
You get the sense that while JD may be imperfect, he has learned from the error of his ways. I do not get that feeling with John McCain, his deal and records show it.
With that in mind, JD is the slam dunk hands down choice....
It's amazing to me how the FReepers who are the most opposed to Juan McCain, the ones who should know the most about him because they've been freaking out about him 24/7 for years, continue to bring up the Keating Five.
McCain was only the focus of hearings in that matter because if they did the right thing and left him out their would be four Dems and no GOP senators under investigation. The committee's cousel (Bob "I defended Bill Clinton in the Lewinsky mess" Bennett, there's a GOP operative for you) said there was insufficient evidence against McCain and John Glenn to evencontinue investigating them.
IOW, it was a Dem run railroad job.
