Oh, haven’t you heard? Our wonderful ND Congressman (“don’t- have-a-clue-how-this-happened-Conrad” wink, wink), made an honest mistake?  Give me a break Kent.  The only advantage you have for your corruption, along with Obama and Dodd, is that you are all Democrates. Any Republican would be hanging from a sting today!

Sen. Gaylord Conrad even invested in Fannie & Freddie!

No Free Lunch

Isn’t it a bit disturbing that the man who could be our next President took tens of thousands of dollars in contributions from one of the biggest boondoggles in the history of American government?

But, but, but…hope! Ch- ch- ch- change?

Seems a bit unethical if you ask me.

In John McCain’s America, any politician who accepts a large contribution or gift from a donor, and then takes steps consistent with the donor’s interests — even though there is no legal quid pro quo — is corrupt.

Well, then, by his own standard, McCain is corrupt.

McCain was one of the so-called “Keating Five” senators.

He was investigated by the Senate Select Committee on Ethics in 1991 regarding the acceptance of favors from Lincoln Savings & Loan Association (Lincoln) and its owner, Charles H. Keating, Jr.

Simply put, the issue was whether McCain and the other senators used their official positions to attempt to pressure Federal Home Loan Bank Board officials to go easy on the troubled institution. Eventually Lincoln went bust, costing depositors and taxpayers millions.

In its final report (November 20, 1991), here is what the Senate Select Committee on Ethics concluded about McCain’s conduct:

“Mr. Keating, his associates, and his friends contributed $56,000 for Senator McCain’s two House races in 1982 and 1984, and $54,000 for his 1986 Senate race.

Telling one lie or even consistently lying about one subject…doesn’t make you a liar…

“You have absolutely no reason, none, to trust our word or our actions at this point.”

Titular gop Head Mr. Steele

RB Boobie, you could have finished the article.

From RB Boobie’s link:

The Committee concludes that Senator McCain’s actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him.

As our host left his supposition hanging, so did I.

Here are the Keating Five

Alan Cranston (D-CA)
Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
John Glenn (D-OH)
John McCain (R-AZ)
Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)

All those “D"s will keep it from becoming an election item in the MSM

my question is, so what?

mccains biggest donor is the PAC, its individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals’ immediate families of Merrill Lynch.

should we make negative associations from that also?

Bill Clinton was a good friend of Keating wasn’t he?

But Obama says he doesn’t take special interests…But…but…damnit I thought we were something special to him.

Runs off weeping.

/Sarcasm

It’s all political bullshit. Liberals (and Robert108) lie and spin and twist and obscure and distract and cheat to protect their guys and hurt the opposing team. It’s like wrestling. They distract the ref while their team mate hits you with a chair. There’s no rule they won’t break, no law they won’t skirt, no crime they won’t forgive as long as they can win.

It doesn’t matter. McCain contributed from Fannie and Freddie also.

McCain, John S AZ R $21,550 $0 $21,550

Why are you keeping this a secret?

I’m keeping it a secret?  Then how did you find it out!  You’ve broken through the vast right wing conspiracy mind controls!

/moron

So McCain took 1/6th the money from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac that Obama did.  Big deal.

How many former Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae executives are now working for OBama?  Or did work for OBama before The One threw them under the bus when they became politically inconvenient?

Riddle me that.

The purpose of government shouldn’t be to do good, but simply to refrain from doing evil.

Just what Hussein needs is more slanderous, disturbing corrupt news.

McCain after all those years in Congress was about 70th on the list. Obama in just three years made the top two!
Now, THAT’S CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! Heh.

Rob,
How many Freddie and Fannie execs are working for McCain?

NONE

But…when you look at Obama’s economic advisers, the guys he has counted on from day one and who have raised him a ton — and I mean a ton — of money: Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, you realize that both of them are waist to neck deep in the mortgage scandal.

Both Raines and Johnson have served as CEO of Fannie Mae, with Raines taking over from Johnson. Both are key political and economic advisers to Obama.

Why is it I hear a speech by NOBAMA talking about not taking money from PACS and then we find out he is taking money from Freddie and Fannie MAC? This seems to mean that BHO is talking out of both sides of his mouth…

Democrats created the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac problems years ago, in a well intentioned but failed effort to allow low income groups to buy houses.  They stopped ALL eforts at reform until it was too late.  Now they are trying to blame Bush, McCain and Republicans, everyone but themselves.  That’s the Gods truth and here is the proof:
