The old John McCain? Which one: 1959 John: The wild man who partied like a lunatic and graduated near the bottom of his class. 1969 John: War hero. Got shot down; I'm not saying that he should have taken his training more seriously, but crashing 5 planes? Anybody can have bad luck in war, but you have to work hard first to make me feel sorry for you. 1979 John: Ditched his first wife to marrying into a powerful, wealthy, connected organized crime family so he could make a career change and go into politics 1989 John: After cavorting in the Caymans with Keating - of Savings and Loan Scandal infamy - gets caught pocketing $112,000 (and doesn't report it to the IRS). Gets off scot-free 1999 John: Uses campaign finance reform to whitewash his influence peddling sins and runs for President as a maverick 2008 John: Embraces Bush's tax cuts, the far right religious agents of intolerance, a right wing loony as VP who believes in using science to find the oil but not to clean up the mess from oil, who believes in using science to protect her personal health but not our shared planet. McCain is a fraud who lies, cheats and steals
