McCain regurgitating the past with the exception of his own involvement with Saving and Loans collapse in the 80's- as one of the 'Keating 5' that collapsed a lot of banks and pocketbooks? Charles Keating wined and dined McCain and his wife and flew them down to his digs in his personal jet in the Bahamas numerous times and McCain ran interference for Charles Keating 'pyramid' in the S&L business. McCain walked away from this train wreck with a 'slap on the wrist'. McCain was a prisoner of war so what? During the Vietnam War if you served in the infantry as a grunt you did'nt get the luxury of being a prisoner of war because your political value was less than aviators. Having lived in Alaska ( Ft. Wainwright ) Wasilla is not a small town by Alaska standards - it has stop lights. Wasilla pop. 10,000-08' / the yearly salary in 1999 for Sarah Palin as mayor was $ 68,000 USD . As Alaska Gov. Palin sold the governors jet ( bought by republican gov. ) at a net loss of some $ 600,000 USD to Alaska taxpayers and it was not sold on ebay / somebody should get a refund.
