well, you should ask old time az people about mccain.
How true!!
As one of "The Keating Five", McCain certainly is not squeeky clean.
He just managed to squirm off of the hook with the least damage 'cuz his
re-election bid was the farthest out at the time.
For the non-"Old Fart Desert Rat Arizonans", the huge real estate/banking
scandals on the late '80s that sank the market, ruined thousands of small
investors -- they wre all centered around Charles Keating and
company/famliy -- all good flamboyant big-mouthed members of the religious
right!
They sought -- and were granted -- favors by McCain. The bust they caused
led to a massive real estate market collapse that ruined thaousands of
"small fry" and other common little retired "no account" investors who lost
their life savings because of Fat Cat Greed.
(How quickly the guilty forget!)
