* In 1998, McCain was chastised for reportedly making an off-color joke at a Republican fundraiser about President Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, saying “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno.”
* McCain has acknowledged engaging in extramarital affairs upon returning from Vietnam. While he as in Vietnam, his wife Carol raised his three children. She was also severely injured in a car accident. Due to the accident, she had become 4 inches shorter, gained weight, and had to use crutches to walk. He soon began engaging in extramarital affairs and in 1979, he met Cindy Hensley, a 25 year-old. He continued his extramarital affairs while living with his wife.
* During a campaign appearance in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina on April 18, McCain was asked a question about possible military action against
Iran. He responded by singing the lyrics of a 1980 song by Vince Vance & The Valiants, “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran”, which parodied the Beach Boys’ hit song Barbara Ann.
The Keating Five (or Keating Five Scandal) refers to a Congressional scandal related to the collapse of most of the Savings and Loan institutions in the United States in the late 1980s. McCain was one of five senators who met at least twice in 1987 with Ed Gray, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, seeking to prevent the government’s seizure of Lincoln Savings and Loan, a subsidiary of Charles H. Keating’s American Continental Corporation. Between 1982-1987, McCain received approximately $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. In addition, McCain’s wife and her father had invested $359,000 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family and baby-sitter made at least nine trips at Keating’s expense, sometimes aboard the American Continental jet. After learning Keating was in trouble over Lincoln, McCain paid for the air trips totaling $13,433. Federal regulators ultimately filed a $1.1 billion civil racketeering and fraud suit against Keating, accusing him of siphoning Lincoln’s deposits to his family and into political campaigns. McCain received a rebuke from the Ethics Committee for exercising poor judgment for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating.

6 months ago McCain was trying to sneak amnesty past the American people, now he says he gets the message and no one calls him out on that?
John has Election year religion, so now I'm sure he doesn't want to go before america and tell them he's give amnesty anyway. Once the election is over he will give them amnesty.
