A typical Neo-Commie Liberal Fascist propaganda post.

HERE ARE THE FACTS:

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of
corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the
larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The
five senators;

Alan Cranston (D-CA)
Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)
John Glenn (D-OH)
John McCain (R-AZ)

were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of
the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target
of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).

After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined
in 1991 that Alan Cranston(D-CA), Dennis DeConcini(D-AZ), and Donald
Riegle(D-MI) had substantially and improperly interfered with the
FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings.

Senators John Glenn and JOHN McCAIN were CLEARED OF HAVING ACTED
IMPROPERLY.

Only Glenn and McCain ran for re-election, and they were BOTH RE-
ELECTED.

MCCAIN WAS REPRIMANDED _NOT_ "CLEARED" BY THE SENATE ETHICS COMMITTEE
FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT. And this was one of the SUBSTANTIVE issues
regarding McCain in the 2000 election (in contrast to the Carl Rove's
hate-machine's rumor that McCain "fathered an illegitimate black
child" (the child was ADOPTED by the McCains). But Ethics violations
ARE NOT A PROBLEM TO THE GOP ... just ask Gingrich, Livingstone and
DeLay. In fact, McCain's involvement with Keating arguably made
McCain "one of the GOP's boys"

In a word. Bull****

big enough to take away everything you have.'
