Title: Keting Five, John McCain Exonerated... hmmmm
Post by: Busted on September 15, 2008, 02:42:31 PM
Why has the liberal media not been talking about the "keating Five"??? Or his "Influence Peddling"???


    Donald Diamond, a wealthy Arizona real estate developer and generous McCain contributor, who wanted some coastal land in California freed up by an Army base closing.  McCain helped a Dimaond (a generous donor to McCain's Campaign) buy land from the Army — complete with special water rights — for a quarter of a million dollars, which McCain’s buddy then sold two years later for $20 million. There’s a term for this — it’s called “influence peddling,” and it’s exactly the kind of thing McCain swears he never gets involved with.

Hmm. Politicians using their influence for profit and power. Say it ain't so. Next, you'll be telling me they lie.  ;D
