What you didn’t know that John McCain was brought on ethics charges for allegedly raping the wife of a former POW? It was when he was in Congress. He got off on the charges by claiming that the woman was drunk and came on to him, but the woman didn’t imbibe, and still doesn’t, as far as I know. I don’t have copy of any of the articles, but I thought that it was a well known fact.

I didn't know about that either.

Do you have a few credible links. A quick search didn't turn up anything, your charge, your burden.

I consider rape a rather serious charge, as does the legal system, I'd like to know a bit more about it.

I looked on the internet a little too, and I think that it is just too long ago to turn up quickly. But, you can look it up in the Congressional record. It was talked about quite a lot shortly after I almost got thrown off FreeRepublic for mentioning it. But it never seemed to get much traction because the woman never filed charges with the police, just with the Congressional ethics committee. Like I said, no action was taken because McCain claimed the woman was drunk and came on to him, but she didn’t even drink alcohol or do drugs. Find someone with Lexis Nexis, it should turn up. It is probably right here on FreeRepublic somewhere, if we could go back to 2000.
