I agree, no one person should have to pay for something like this. We need to see the truth about this man! McCain gave up everything he was asked for and it seems like Obama is hiding everything using his standard spew, he’s not part of my campaign crew or he’s not advising me. What that translates to is you’re going to have to go through hell before I give up any information. The press has to stop pandering to this guy and he has to be forthcoming with the information requested of him. The people are speaking!

Well the NOBAMA Cheering Media doesn’t want this to come out. It if had been McCain it would be out already. This is shameful and not right.

McCain openly boasted about his friendship and collaboration with Vietnam-era student radical David Ifshin – who denounced America on Radio Hanoi. Ifshin never renounced nor apologized for his radical past. McCain said of Ifshin, “We worked together for our shared ideals.”

There’s Carl H. Lindner Jr., CEO of Chiquita Brands Int’l (1984 to 2001). As co-host of a fundraiser for John McCain, Lindner oversaw the payment of roughly $1.7 million to a Colombian paramilitary group designated a terrorist organization by the USA — admitted to illegally funding the paramilitaries, agreed to pay a $25M fine. When company officials realized the arrangement was illegal, they switched to making the payments in cash.

Lindner co-hosted a $25K-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the GOP in Cincinnati. The event raised about $2M; Lindner serves on McCain’s Ohio Victory Team.

McCain described FARC as “one of the worst” terrorist groups. The Arizona Republican is raising funds from a man whose company once paid that very same terrorist group.

There’s G. Gordon Liddy – who spent more than 4 yrs in prison for his role in Watergate. That was just one element of what Liddy did in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

How close are McCain and Liddy? In 1998, Liddy’s home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator’s campaigns — including $1,000 this year.

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as “an old friend,” and McCain sounded like one. “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family,” he gushed.

SINGLAUB
Since the mid-80s, there’s been no attention paid to John McCain’s association with a group implicated in a secretive plot to supply arms to Nicaraguan militia groups during the Iran-Contra affair.

John Singlaub, founder of the US Council for World Freedom, was involved in the Iran-Contra scandal during the mid-80s and was criticized for links to Nazi collaborators and right-wing death squads in Central America.

TIMMONS
William Timmons, Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

The two lobbyists he worked closely with over a 5yr. period on the lobbying campaign later pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein’s government.

KEATING
The Keating 5 were 5 US Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 80s and early 90s. John McCain was accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln S&L Association.

The S&L collapsed in 1989, at a cost of over $3B to the gov’t. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions that Keating had made to each of the senators, totaled $1.3M.

PINOCHET

John McCain held a private secret meeting with Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet in 1985.

Pinochet – ruthless military dictator who, with the CIA’s backing, overthrew the fairly elected government of Allende in 1972. Subsequently, he purged opposition, causing more than 2000 people to “disappear” and tortured 30,000. He bragged, “In this country, a leaf doesn’t move without me knowing about it.” Many posit that without the support of the United States, “there would never have been a Pinochet.”

Also, in 2006 McCain voted in favor of the Military Commissions Act which supposedly left torture decisions up to the president. In Feb.08, McCain voted against a bill that would ban torture, and then applauded Bush for vetoing the bill.

Which brings me to McCain and his POW days.

I truly and sincerely believe that his anger and shame at his own divulgence of military secrets while a POW is what drives him, in Iraq and in his desire to be president. PLENTY of other POWs didn’t give up secrets… some even DIED rather than do so… In Guantanamo, the USA justifies torture to get to “the truth”. Is torture in Vietnam any different than torture in Gitmo? NO. If McCain been anyone other than the screw-up son of a family of Admirals, he would have been dishonorably discharged instead of being hailed as a hero.

What a fake. What a liar. What a traitor.
