Although less of an embarrassment to the GOP than Giuliani and Romney, I still remember McCain-Feingold, the gang of 14 deal and McCain’s support for the amnesty bill earlier this year....”
How about McVain’s involvement with the Savings and Loan scandal??
S&L - (aka “Keating Five”) - read my above post - He was new to congress & incriminated by association only. Found NOT GUILTY of any wrongdoing. That “close call” has made him even more conscious of NOT doing anything that would be construed as corrupt!
Gang of 14 - a POSITIVE for the Republicans. Yes, it prevented them from utilizing their power of initiating the “Nuclear Option”, but also allwed the confirmations to proceed to a vote - that’s exactly what needed to happen.
Amnesty - I think (as stated above) that that was a “rush” to try to actually DO something about the problem. And who knows how he might have gotten snookered by Kennedy & that lot to try to make McCain look bad - he would certainly have learned more than one lesson in that case - the first being that the people want Border Security first, as he has stated.
In any case - who else is a Reupublican to vote for? He is the best we have & the best chance to beat any of the Democrats!

Not guilty.
Consider the polling in post 35 as another point to consider.
