"McCain was one of the Keating Five senators who intervened with federal regulators on behalf of Lincoln Savings and Loan head Charles Keating Jr, a six-figure campaign contributor and, in McCain's case, a business partner with his wife and father-in-law. The late 1980s-early 1990s savings and loan crisis cost US taxpayers more than US$100 billion. Keating was convicted of fraud and more, and the Senate Ethics Committee "rebuked" McCain. To make amends, McCain became an advocate of campaign finance reform from 1994, co-sponsoring the Bipartisan Campaign Reform act that became law in 2002."

There are several Obama threads floating around. I thought we needed a McCain thread for balance.

That fits nicely into the current economic problems.

Yes, I think we should give McCain the attention he craves, since the MSM was so focused on Obama last week.

Keating 5 is a little old, but the incident does fit a pattern when it comes to McCain and his rich niche.

In a recent flip-flop, McMoron dropped his 'no new taxes' pledge.
