In late 1989, Senator John McCain went home to Arizona to fight for his political life.

It was at the height of the savings and loan scandal, and his dealings with Charles Keating, an Arizona high-flier whose failed thrift was a $2 billion debacle for taxpayers, were dominating the news in his home state.

Mr. McCain faced a hail of hostile questions, even at the Mesa Rotary Club in bedrock Republican territory. After one of the club's elders rose to defend him and say he still believed in him, the senator mordantly observed, ''The fact that my supporters even feel they need to say these things is evidence of how serious the situation is.''

''It was certainly the most difficult experience in my political life,'' he now says about this tumultuous time. During a 14-month Senate ethics investigation that ended with his exoneration, he and four other senators stood accused of exerting improper influence by meeting with federal bank regulators on behalf of Mr. Keating, who had contributed $1.5 million to the political causes and campaigns of the senators, including $112,000 to Mr. McCain


can you say exonerated?
 
And he took a lot of heat for refusing to cave into pressure from those guys to favor them.

Thats nice. He was exonerated. Obama had nothing to do with Ayer's actions when Obama was EIGHT years old. Its called guilt by association. If you want to say its ok, go for it, but don't whine when its thrown back in your face.

And this has been covered many times now. Try not to make me repeat the same shit over and over again, eh?

Back up. No one ever said BHO had anything to do with the Ayers bombings. What has been called into question is BHO's relationship with an admitted, unrepentant, terrorist bomber.

And whats being called into question here is McCain's involvement in a scandal that caused thousands of elderly folks to lose their life savings and his friendship to one of the key members.

As I said, the guilt by association train can work both ways.

ah but McCain was exonerated of any wrongdoing while Ayers freely admits he set bombs that maimed and blinded police officers and "wishes" he had set more bombs

not really an apples to apples comparison.

he and his wife said that on 9-11-2001

He hasn't been exonerated because there is so little evidence of any wrongdoing that he hasn't been investigated, much less charged.

And we didn't vet him? Are you on crack? He went through probably the toughest primary process in a generation.

Umm the comparison is between Keating and McCain's connections to him, and Ayers and to Obamas connection to him.

Yes, Mark Foley was also cleared of any wrongdoing at the beginning of his career when it was alleged that he was molesting underaged male pages in Washington. Turns out he was guilty and the GOP knew it.

Once known as a crusader against child abuse and exploitation, Foley resigned from Congress on September 29, 2006 after allegations surfaced that he had sent suggestive emails and sexually explicit instant messages[1] to teenaged males

He was also the first public figure to falsely imply that Vice President Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet. (SO YOU GUYS WERE SWALLOWING WHAT A PEDOPHILE WAS PUTTING DOWN YOUR THROATS)

In late 2000, Foley played a large role in aiding George W. Bush during the Presidential election recount controversy in Florida.[7]

In 2003, Foley was widely considered the Republican frontrunner for Bob Graham's Senate seat, especially after Graham had announced his retirement. However, longstanding rumors surfaced that Foley was either gay or bisexual and was in a long-term relationship with a man.

LONGSTANDING? IN OTHER WORDS, THE GOP KNEW HE WAS A GAY HYPOCRITE MOLESTING BOYS AND THEY LET IT GO. THAT'S WHY DENNIS HASTERT WAS TOSSED OUT IN 2006.

In the House, Foley was one of the foremost opponents of child pornography

Here you go Mark Foley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Have fun.
 
Obama served on a board with him.

Do you even know what board and what its function was?
