Obama can start with the (Keating) scandal, the private plan he (his wife) owns, who McCain's one true job outside the Navy was given to him by his father-in-law, how McCain, how McCain was a legacy student at the Naval Academy (was almoost kicked out and graduated #894 out of a class of 899), how McCain is thundering for congress to get back to work instead of taking vacations, when he (McCain) was in his office and didn't even bother to vote on the energy plan, etc.

Those are just off the top of my head to show McCain's entitlement, selfishness, etc.

Russia invades and occupies Georgia and the `media` is busy talking about and speculating on how many homes the candidates have title to!

And they, the media, actually thing this should matter on election day!

God help us

This thread has now officially drifted off the tracks and into Bedlam's waiting paddy wagon.

You seriously want to talk scandals with either party? RememberNovember gave us some Repubs; how about some Dems? There's Jefferson from LA and his fridge / Sandy Berger and destroying archives / Chris Dodd and his shady mortgage dealings / Dianne Feinstein and her shady military projects steered toward her husband.

Gee, that was fun. Now where does that get us in this thread?

To answer your question:

Keating – McCain was totally exonerated along with John Glenn. DeConcini, Riegle and Cranston (all democrats, of course) were found to have acted improperly.

Hagee – McCain has apparently met him twice (wasn’t married by him, he didn’t baptize his children and he didn’t write a book with a title ripped from one of his sermons).

Bush – Quickly becoming recognized as one of the greatest American presidents.

I’m sure the count of felons would be heavily weighted towards the left side of the scale; however, I don’t have the numbers handy to back that up.

The big difference is that when republicans do something wrong, we get rid of them. Democrats seem to re-elect them with higher margins.

Why is that?

McCain put himself into the same problem.”

EXACTLY.

let's rule out sex scandals because they're about even over the past twenty or so years. I'm talking more the Randall Cunningham/Ted Stevens/ Whitewater/Marion Barry kind of thing.

Please, tell us about McCain's relationship with Charles Keating (a felon), his spiritual adviser John Hagee (a crazy racist Pastor), and President Bush (a war criminal).

The three most important people in Obama’s recent life in Chicago are:

• A Felon
• A Domestic Terrorist
• A Crazy Racist Preacher

That’s quite a lineup. Now, I’ll bet that most of the liberals who post or comment on this site have good friends who fit at least one of these categories.

Some hang around with people who would cover two of these descriptions (Shaun, I’m looking in your direction).

But you’ve got to be a gold-medal winning radical to squeeze all three of these vocations into your life in just a few short years. Barack truly is something special.

And if you got Rezko dirt, show it. But I don't even recall Obama being asked to testify about Rezko, so I'm sure all you have is innuendo.

After McCain delivers a clean, crisp, cogent answer to a question, the moderator turns to Obama and receives, in his best Saddleback Stumble:

“But……but……..he owns a lot of houses!”

Great retort, Barack.
