Another article that ignores the Keating 5. Posting all this crap does not hurt Hayworth around FR. He was never found guilty of any wrongdoing. Period.
This Arizona election will be decided on the immigration issue. I’m confident JD will make McCain’s push for amnesty a central issue in the campaign. Not to mention McCain’s support for stifling free speech with McCain-Feingold.
You are so far up MCain a**, that you had to go to the archives to find this anti-Hayworth article from 2005?
Pathetic.
Planted by McCain’s folks no doubt.
Charlie Keating always took care of his friends, especially those in politics. McCain was no exception. In 1982, during McCain's first run for the House, Keating held a fund-raiser for him, collecting more than $11,000 from 40 employees of American Continental Corp. McCain would spend more than $550,000 to win the primary and the general election. In 1983, as McCain contemplated his House re-election, Keating hosted a $1,000-a-plate dinner for him, even though McCain had no serious competition. When McCain pushed for the Senate in 1986, Keating was there with more than $50,000. By 1987, McCain had received about $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates

You keep posting this crap about JD I'll keep posting the things McCain did that were FAR worse. Remember, the money McCain took was back in the 80s, mark it up for inflation and it's quite a chunk of change.
My, my, what have we here.
McCain’s Law Preserved Loophole for Tribal Contributions
by Amanda B. Carpenter
01/30/2006
Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.), chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee, says the campaign finance reform law he sponsored in 2002 intentionally left open a loophole that allows Indian tribes to make campaign contributions to an unlimited number of candidates for federal office.
Before McCain’s law passed, most Americans were allowed to give an aggregate of only $25,000 to party committees and candidates for federal office in any two-year election cycle. Indian tribes were not subject to that cap. McCain’s law lifted the aggregate-contribution cap to $95,000 for ordinary American contributors, but declined to impose any cap at all on Indian tribes.
When I asked McCain last week why this was the case, he said, “Because tribes are ‘sovereign entities.’ They are treated on a government-to-government relationship, and we’re looking at that whole issue.”
I asked, “But it was an intentional thing?” McCain replied, “Oh yeah. … Because they are ‘sovereign nations’ unquote. We sign treaties with them.”
When I pointed out that the U.S. does not allow contributions from foreign governments, McCain said, “No, we don’t. But they’re American citizens. So, it’s a unique kind of a status.”

Just goes to show that we have GOT to stop electing politicians for any office. Go grab an owner of a local hardware store and beg him to run.
So who is the alternative? Chris Simcox, who put Gary Kreep in charge of the Minuteman $$$ (which vanished into consultants’ pockets)?
