Is Mr. McCain the maverick he purports to be? He often speaks about how he breaks with his GOP colleagues when he believes it's for the best interest of the American people. Did he believe voting against a holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was in the best interest of the American people? He states he regret making an error in judgment by not believing Dr. King was worthy of a holiday. Was this a straight shooting comment or the usual political fodder? Why haven't we heard about the infamous Keating Five anymore? Wonder what would Charles Keating and Democrats Dennis DeConcini, Donald Riegle, John Glenn and the late Alan Cranston all of which were accused of strong-arming federal officials to back off their investigation of Mr. Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan association back in 89' have to say about John McCain. Would they call him a straight shouter?
Is he a war hero? Well, as I recall, wasn't Mr. McCain a Navy pilot that was shot down by the Vietnamese and held captive for five years? Were there ever any accounts of him being wounded while trying to escape or subduing the enemy? Mr. McCain, are heros captured ALIVE?
