Traitor McCain backs all Liberal Democraps and if the GOP had any guts they would kick the traitor out. He saved his butt in Viet prison via rolling over for the communist. He is still rolling over for them.

[not-alone]

He was supporting Kerry comments on the war this morning on Imus. Said " He was talking about the Tora Bora..." Bob Barr told Carville a couple of days ago that he's not a republican.

McCain Relatives Kept Stake

Denial and Hypocrisy

[evad]

he took more than $100,000 in campaign contributions from the swindler Keating...

I thought it was actually "much more" than that figure. Maybe I'm thinking of Glenn.

Funny how it seems the heroes that become liberals (and I do mean McLame is a liberal) are the ones that fall to political corruption. I don't recall any conservative heroes in this category.

Can anyone get this picture to show up???!!!

I found that over here

<....rolling over for the communists.

Bingo!! And when he got home, he dumped his sick wife and grabbed a newer..richer..younger one in order to get financing for his political career. What a greasy little quisling he is. He is so full of bitterness...it is eating holes in his face.

McCain got more than just campaign money from Keating. McCain, his family, and their babysitter flew on Keating-owned or -chartered jets nine time, including three trips to Cat Cay, Keating's vacation estate in the Bahamas. And in 1986, Keating cut Cindy McCain and her father into Fountain Square Shopping Center, a strip mall that American Continental Corporation built and managed, for a $359,000 investment.

"About 300 guests turned out Saturday night to celebrate the 90th birthday of Joseph 'Joe Bananas' Bonanno, retired boss of New York's Bonanno crime family. He retired to Tucson in 1968 . . . John McCain, R-Ariz., and Gov. Fife Symington sent their regards by telegram." The Arizona Republic - January 17, 1995

In 1948, fifty-two employees of Kemper Marley's wholly-owned company, UNITED LIQUOR, went to prison on federal liquor violations - including Gene Hensley, the father-in-law of Arizona Senator John McCain.

Gene Hensley was Kemper Marley's UNITED LIQUOR general manager. On the basis of so many prosecutions some people might feel UNITED LIQUOR could qualify as organized crime. The slick attorney who kept Marley out of this trial and sent McCain's father-in-law to prison in his place was William Rehndquist - currently the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

It was the judgement of the court that Gene Hensley would be prohibited from ever working in the liquor industry. Of course such judgments meant nothing to Marley. When Gene Hensley got out of prison Marley arranged a BUDWEISER distributorship for Hensley which is now in the hands of Senator John McCain and reported to be worth $50 million!

One of the funniest things on the radio here each morning is a little five-minute bit wherein John McNutbag goes up against Ted Kennedy and they "debate" an issue, as if they were diametrically opposed politically.

You just can't make this stuff up.

Can you all start your recall petitions again? This man personifies the name RINO -- because he certainly is no Republican and doesn't hide the fact. He is a RAT and time for him to go!

[Republic]

What a greasy little quisling he is.

Wish I had said that!

[nicmarlo]

[McCain]really has become the Democratic Party's favorite love doll.

Ain't he though? Incredible. I used to have some respect for him, while he ran against Bush. Now I detest him. He's got no credibility, is selfish, a whiner, and fits right in with the Rats.

“Our publicly owned companies are an essential component to the economic health of our country. As we have seen over the past few months, the continued lapses of our corporate leaders, whether they are ethical, criminal or just plain ignorant, have a significant, sometimes crippling, effect on the welfare of our nation. We must make some fundamental changes in the current system of corporate oversight to protect Americans from avarice, greed, ignorance and criminal behavior.

SHOULD READ

“Our federal government can have a profound negative effect on the economic health of our country. As we have seen over the past few months, the continued lapses of our Senators and Representatives, whether they are ethical, criminal or just plain ignorant, have a significant, sometimes crippling, effect on the welfare of our nation. We must make some fundamental changes in the current system of governmental oversight to protect Americans from avarice, greed, ignorance and criminal behavior.

By the way Big John was the third highest taker of campaign contributions from World Com so he sure should know a good bit about them.

[fivetoes]

Right on. I was editing the same passage to say what you said. No sense being redundant.

[henderson field]

Now let's have the same for government corruption.

I couldn't agree with you more Ben. No need for any more AQ or UBL attacks...the dems are doing just fine in trying to ruin our country. UBL must be laughing in his....whatever. It disgusts me beyond words that these members of the party of purjury so obviously hate this country. They claim Bush has no moral leadership all the while ignoring their own who lied to the American people and the American courts. Even Kramer, on Kudlow and Kramer tonight, was extremely critical of Dashle and what he and his pals are doing. At least America is awakening to this enemy within, or at least some of them. I have given up on the likes of little Perky Katey, or the affable Eva Braun as Ms. Coulter likes to call her, and her bosses at NBC (or whichever alpahbet soup no-news, lieing liberal media organization she works for) to ever attempt some truth in reporting. Party of Purjury members all. Disgusting and shameless....
