And unlike Obama the narcissist, he can admit when he has made a mistake. McCain was exonerated. And unlike Obama the narcissist, he can admit when he has made a mistake.

That's why they endorsed George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Nixon, etc. Your're right. They are biased...to the right. steelhawk,

John "Straight Talk?" McCain is. And I wouldn't say he was exonerated. More like politics as usual. Those 4 Democrats are not running for president of the United States.

Nothing. Zip. Nada. In a real debate, they'd be laughed off the podium. What makes it even more amusing is that the HuffPo piece at issue categorically refutes claims made on....(wait for it)....FOX NEWS, the most biased, error-prone news outfit in existence. You remember Fox News, don't you? That's where we first heard about the terrorist fist bump. What a journalistic scoop that was! Keep up the good work B&S. You're our top comedy act here at Applesauce.

Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. I count 4 dems and 1 rep. McCain has always been the dems favorite Republican so I count him as half a rep in my book. That's 90% dems. Please Pat, tell the whole story, and not as you want to see it...
