Shocking!

Over the years, Sen. John McCain has publicly condemned Republican Party leaders and occasionally voted against the GOP on selected issues.

But an Arizona Republic analysis of his Senate votes on the most divided issues in the past decade shows that McCain almost never thwarted his party's objectives.

 

I can't wait for the Saint to get some scrutiny :

 

Sen. John McCain championed legislation that will let an Arizona rancher trade remote grassland and ponderosa pine forest here for acres of valuable federally owned property that is ready for development, a land swap that now stands to directly benefit one of his top presidential campaign fundraisers.

Initially reluctant to support the swap, the Arizona Republican became a key figure in pushing the deal through Congress after the rancher and his partners hired lobbyists that included McCain's 1992 Senate campaign manager, two of his former Senate staff members (one of whom has returned as his chief of staff), and an Arizona insider who was a major McCain donor and is now bundling campaign checks.

Good thing he stays away from lobbyists and he learned his lesson after the Keating Five scandel...

train/phone version.

I must not be hard working.

Monday and Wednesday were really fun for me. Thanks for all the support the past weeks, I hope it helps with my radio future but more importantly it has been really, really heartwarming. I will, of course, keep you updated as soon as I hear anything.

Special thanks to Fernando for finding that Sands clip when we couldn't and MaggiesBoy for the iso!
