http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23263742/ When reading this don't forget his first wife who prayed daily for McLamebrain's safe return from Vietnam, who was then thrown in the garbage can by John once she became crippled. Rather he chose to pick up the "rich" drug addicted bimbo he is now married too... the one who stole drugs from the charity she was affiliated with. John's Mom is correct...no one could ever pull the lever for John before holding their nose.

This man is garbage. Among the millions upon millions in this country, must we continue to elect magots?

WASHINGTON - Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.

A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, in his offices and aboard a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.

When news organizations reported that Mr. McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of the lobbyist’s clients, the former campaign associates said, some aides feared for a time that attention would fall on her involvement.
