----- Original Message ---- ... apparently Remi does not remember the infamous Keating Five - ... from the net, a little "refresher" lesson in how recent political history has this nagging tendency to repeat itself every new generation: John McCain & The Ghost of Keating Five Regarding the Keating Five and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board of 1989, four of the five were Democrats. Two were rebuked for poor judgment: John Glenn and John McCain. Of the three Democrats who were reprimanded for interfering with the FHLBB investigation, one, Senator DeConcini, was rewarded with an appointment by President Bill Clinton in February 1995 to the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. All subsequent attempts at campaign finance reform came to nothing until the adoption of the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002. If you want to get into some relevant history, please google the history of Obama's current buddies Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers. Unrepentant Ayers was a bomb tossing, terroristic, America hating, radical who somehow managed to escape prosecution. I didn't start this political thread, and I stayed out of it for days, but I will continue to respond as necessary until it ends. Jeff
