As a person, I like McCain - as a President I could find him acceptable
- Keating Five beside the point. I'm not exaclty sure how involved he
was in it other than doing what he was supposed to do with a constituent
who contributed to his political organization.
Considering that he was the only Republican involved, it does leave one
to wonder.
The Senate Ethics Committee Special Counsel recommended McCain and Glenn
be dropped from the investigation, but there is speculation that didn't
happen because he was the lone Republican.
Exactly.
Are you saying that two former Naval aviators, one who circled the earth
and the other who survived years as a POW, and both elected US Senators
were granted special dispensation for being too stupid to stay out of a
criminal enterprise?
Not at all.
Based on the evidence at the time, Glenn and McCain were very marginal
players with the Ethics Committee not exactly sure what it was that
they did wrong.
