New McCain TV Ad Hits Obama Back — on Rezko

BORING, does NOTHING for me, Obama is probably making the keating 5 ad, where mccain was repremanded by the senate for his illegal dealings and stealing of 3.2 billion.

Let me guess. This is gonna be played on Fox News tonight and … that’s it.
\LOL
Btw for most Americans a “housing problem” is the fact they may be losing their home or are swamped by a mortgage they can’t afford. Not cheap misleading and disproven assertions about a politician.
Just the fact the McCain people think THIS is going to move votes (as if !) is prove of how out-of-touch they are.

Actually, McBush probably can’t say “Keating 5″, at least without Lieberman there to correct him.

Political favors? What about the banking/Enron loophole favors McCain has done for Phil Gramm resulting in foreclosures of homes all across the US. Dumb move McCain but thanks for opening the door!

Obama bought his house with laundered tax payer money thru Rezko a convicted felon. Obama deserves to be in jail

Right on target Jennifer and I’ll be willing to bet he’s got sneaky Phil Gramm back on his staff on the sly.

Obama is jealous that McCain and Cindy own more houses than him. Big Deal, who cares how many houses belong to the McCains ? Maybe they are for future investments. But that just proves right there that McCain has more incentive than Obama to put America first! And it also proves that McCain didn’t make a pack with the devil to buy them either! Obama has greased the palms of Rezko others to get his house and where he is politically. John McCain is where he is at because he has characther, ethics & fortitude.

Sorry Mr McCain but guilt by association does not make anyone a guilty person or we all would be in jail. Most people know someone who has run afoul of the law that doesn’t make them a crook. Not even a good try send your people back to school.

If any of you have reserched the Keating 5 scandal then you will know that Mccain was let off with no wrong doing! Thank You

Keating 5, as I understood from CNN’s bios last night on both candidates….said John Glenn and John McCain were proven not guilty….and the other 3 were.
Don’t give a fig one way or the other, McCain is my man!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

keith Griffin
do you even know what the keating 5 is. It all democrats except for McCain. And McCain was the only one found not involved in any wrong doing at all. The others even though not charged with anything were very suspicous. You foolish Democrats trying to make a person guilty when no charges are filed or found innocent. Is that the change Obama promises+

“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?

Ronaldraygun…..DOING business with criminals is a problem….Rezko got Obama’s house for him UNDERMARKET and Rezko’s wifey bought the empty lot next door so the Obama’s could expand their property by buying some of it from her.
OBAMA KNEW WHO HE WAS DEALING WITH AND FAVORS BETWEEN THEM EARNED TONY REZ 17 MILLION.

I’m John McCain and I aprove this house of mine which I can’t remember if its number one or number 5 mabey number 4.

Keating 5 is an old story, yeah, old and true. The Rezko thing is mud thrown to cover McBush’s underhanded dealings.

McCain lied 4200 have died and 32000 have bled, how many more do we sacrafice for China to come get the Iraqi oil?

paul
Obama not only lied about his support of Pro Abortion born alive. He also lied in another debate with Hillary that he did not sign anti gun bills. You can even look that one up on the internet and see his signature and writing all over the bill

MC CAIN OFFICES IN DENVER RECIEVED THREATENLING LETTERS AND THAT DAMN WHITE POWDER…HERE WE GO AGAIN.
Also the NH office.

McCain “08″ Keep You Change!

May I suggest why I favor McCain on one item alone? He can lay clear claim to possession of greater character. obama by contrast offers to “help” certain parts of our society. No matter how well intended, that sort of help is a form of favoriism.
I hold to but two basic beliefs. Most simply stated, they are that all should be treated equally, and that corruption is unacceptable. If all are not equal in their rights, in their treatment before law, then those charged with enforcement of the law have the power to favor some. That power can, indeed surely will, corrupt. The greatest threat to any regime is the loss of its constituents’ trust. Nothing will erode that trust more swiftly than corruption. Thus the state, for its own interest, must govern equally.

McCain is our man. Thanks allot for showing Obama for what he really stands for. Not his JUST WORDS speeches that he gives.

McCain didn’t know how many houses he had.What the big deal? Cindy and her Children and heirs own them, not McCain.
Obama put his foot in his mouth with this one, there is nothing illegal about owing 8 or 80 houses, but getting a kickback for political favors to be able to buy a home out of your price range may very well turn out to be.

Obama will say “Did i do that”

Obama 2008, Obama 2008.

McCain 08 if you want the draft, and more of the Bush failed policies. We knew that after McCain buried his head in GW’s sweaty armpits he was a Bushie all the way. Bush partied with McCain while Katerina slammed the Gulf coast, just 2 good old boys having fun.

McCain “08″ Keep You Change!
Get use to it!

Obama should donate his house to charity now since this bad news has been uncovered

Zach, are you completely oblivious to the FACTS that have already been published by Chicago papers about Obama and REzko, and was just in the New York Post today? Let me refresh you: Obama was influential using his power in the senate to channel money to Rezko land deals; REzko then helped Obama with his campaign financing. Rezko did not have enough cash to pay for heating for some of his housing units, yet still had money to donate to Obama’s campaign. Obama has been invovled with REzko for years. It is all out there, that fact that you dont know it ( or know it, but refuse to recongize it) is scary.
But every one else knows it. That is why the DNC is tanking like the titanic for having the gall to nominate the country’s worst candidate in history (yes, worse than Bush), Obama.

“and I’ll be willing to bet he’s got sneaky Phil Gramm back on his staff on the sly”
Phill ‘nation of whiners’ Gramm IS back on his staff, just not in public anymore. I wonder why

Why oh why did Obama have to go their my brothers and sisters?

Yeah, this and the McCain house thing are basically the same. I mean it isn’t like there was an investigation that failed to find ANY impropriety with the puchase. And it isn’t like McCain has not been associated with felons and land deals right Mr. Keating? McCain is the GOP sacrifical lamb in this campaign. They know that the record of the sitting President has killed their chances this year.

I’m a McCain supporter and wish he would just stick to the issues. He needs to tell folks why he would be a good president. Lately, all he’s been doing is trying to tear his opponent down.

Oh oh… Does McCain really want to go here? Does he want Keating 5 to be brought? You know, the Keating 5 that cost the US government $3.4 billion, and one that McCain was involved through his eyeballs. Or G. Gordon Liddy…

CJB wrote:”Debra, Thank you for the EXCELLENT point”
Oh thank you dear. Actually I don’t think there is a chance in Hades that Hillary would lower herself to McCain’s level.

So what if McCain has 7 houses…who cares…I would want someone who had attained some of that success…unless it is all Cindys…look at Trump he is loaded and smart as a whip….I don’t think weath is a bad thing.I think it shows how succesful one is in life…if you are a self made person who attains wealth that is not something to be ashamed of…in JMC’s case he had help…but this also affords those people with the ability to tap into the best brains and move mountains…so I hav eno problem with 7 houses….I am sure some of them are rented out and generate income.
As Ring Lardner said” The rich are different than you or I. “

Obama has done nothing and it’s already proven……Boy McCain camp is scared this time….bringing everything out? Nothing will be left for the fall – ROTFLMAO Bring it on!!!!!!!!

Hahaha. This going to be so much fun.
All the McBushes have got is innuendo. They can’t stand it that Obama earned his house by hard work, instead of marrying into wealth.
He did not get a ‘deal’ on the house, he bargained with the seller: the house had been on the market several months. You know what that means … It brings down the price.
Simple as that.

I feel so bad for Debra on this board.
She hitched her wagon to a loser in the primaries, now she’s hitching her wagon to a loser in the presidential too.

Rumsfeld is throwing McWar under the Bush.
McCain wants to portray himself as an early critic of Rumsfeld but according to a Rumsfeld aide, that’s a fairy tale:
From the Washington Times, that ‘liberal rag’:
An aide to the secretary said Mr. McCain’s account is incorrect. “In November 2003, Secretary Rumsfeld and Senator McCain had one of a number of conversations that ended with the two in agreement on the need to win in Iraq,” Keith Urbahn said. “Senator McCain may prefer to characterize their meeting as a Showdown at the OK Corral, but that’s not straight talk. It’s a fairy tale.”
Mr. Rumsfeld wrote a two-sentence summary shortly after his meeting, according to his office. “I had breakfast with Senator McCain. He said, ‘The answer may not be more troops in Iraq, but the answer is not the status quo.’ I agree with him.”

“All the McBushes have got is innuendo. They can’t stand it that Obama earned his house by hard work…” william tangerine.
>>>>>>>>>>>>earned his house by hard work in pork bellies and (big)ear marks and money from the likes of Rezko…. with payment due to the likes of Emil Jones and those legislators who lent Obama their legislation to pass along as his!
He also used the funds returned to the Obama’s in the shape of a noticeably large raise in her pay by Michelle’s
thankful employer.
And wasn’t there something about the rate of the mortgage percentage…. which was running m i g h t y l o w?
And the $15,000,000 Barack earmarked for his erstwhile church….. Wasn’t that used to pay of Jeremiah his $10,000,000 plus multi-million dollar retirement home?
Now McCain…… didn’t need to stoop that low…..
And I LIKE that in a candidate!

Bring it on, McCain! This “attack” is pretty weak beer. Keating 5 anyone?

The Rezko trial is done, he just needs to be sentenced……next.

I feel so badly for the poster upthread who said that Obama didn’t do anything wrong with the Rezko deal.
Apparently the poster doesn’t know that Obama admits it was wrong and a boneheaded thing to do.
Do try to keep up.

Gosh, the class warfare that Obama plays is really sad. And the dummies fall for it every time.

A disturbing number of you are under the illusion that John McCain was convicted of something in the Keating 5 scandal. Wrong. The only people convicted in that mess were Democrats.
After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle 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 but were criticized for having exercised “poor judgment”.

Hmmm — just five minutes investigation and it looks like, of the 5 involved in the Keating mess, McCain looked like the best of the bunch.
From Wikipedia:
On April 9, 1987, a two-hour meeting[4] with three members of the FHLBB San Francisco branch was held, again in DeConcini’s office, to discuss the government’s investigation of Lincoln.[8][6] Present were Cranston, DeConcini, Glenn, McCain, and additionally Riegle.[6] The regulators felt that the meeting was very unusual and that they were being pressured by a united front, as the senators presented their reasons for having the meeting.[6] McCain said, “One of our jobs as elected officials is to help constituents in a proper fashion. ACC is a big employer and important to the local economy. I wouldn’t want any special favors for them…. I don’t want any part of our conversation to be improper.” Glenn said, “To be blunt, you should charge them or get off their backs,” while DeConcini said, “What’s wrong with this if they’re willing to clean up their act? … It’s very unusual for us to have a company that could be put out of business by its regulators.”[6] The regulators then revealed that Lincoln was under criminal investigation on a variety of serious charges, at which point McCain severed all relations with Keating.[6] Glenn continued to help Keating after that revelation, by setting up a meeting with then-House Majority Leader Jim Wright, which turned out to be the only questionable thing Glenn did throughout the whole affair.[9]

I am quite certain of one thing — none of the actual facts about McCain as it relates to Keating will stop the liberal mantra that he did something wrong.

It sure got awfully quiet in here the minute someone came along with actual facts about Keating and how McCain didn’t do anything wrong.

Obama’s initial volley here reminds me a bit of Georgia’s venture into South Ossetia. Gave the Republicans the pretense they were waiting for. Now when they unload on him they can say they are simply returning fire. And unload they will—Rezko, Wright, Ayers, Pfleger, Exelon, Killerspin…

We now have ads out featuring both William Ayers and Tony Rezko. Not exactly the lift the Democrats were looking for going into their convention.
Americans have to be asking themselves: Who are the idiots running this party who are actually going to nominate this loser? And maybe there’s a reason the Democratic-controlled Congress has an approval rating that’s HALF of Bush’s approval rating.
Trust the Dems to always have the ability to make dust from gold – an election that should have been a slam-dunk is shooting down the tubes!

Obama is grasping for anything to deflect attention away from the attacks he is getting from the pro-life groups.
He voted 3X against a bill to protect infants that survive abortion. He was the only one to vote against it.
Then he accused the pro-life group of lying about him. Where are the values Obama preaches about?

Angie – all one needs to do is google Rezko+Obama to see that Obama was in the wrong. He has admitted as much. It’s unfortunate his supporters can’t do the same. But nice spin and A for effort.

d – I get a real kick out of the fact that Obama admitted what he did was wrong, but his supporters can’t do the same. Carry on — it’s most amusing!

Obama supporters can keep saying Rezko is a “dead issue” and Rezko is no big deal. But, all of Mccain’s ads are well-produced and hard hitting. They work. Obama’s ads look like bad GE ads.
And, telling people that McCain is rich is like telling Americans that have too many credit cards. Who cares? Everyone in America wants to be rich. No one will see it as a crime on McCain’s part. If McCain came off as a rich elitist that would be another story, but he doesn’t. He seems more in touch than Obama. Maybe it’s because he suffered in a POW camp just like every other solider in the war.
