Keating had contributed over $100,000. to a McCain campaign and so I think McCain felt obligated to help him and therefore co-sponsored a resolution to delay resolutions designed to curb risky investors. This was all as the Government was about to take over Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan. There were meetings with 4 or 5 Senators trying to save Lincoln Savings and Loan for Keating. But I feel that John McCain actually didn't particularly like doing it because he is the Senator who sunk it for Keating. He must of had a stroke of conscience in the 2nd meeting because Wm. Black (Deputy Director of Federal Savings and Loan Corp.) referred to McCain as Hamlet because this was his statement, "One of our jobs as elected officials is to help constituents in a proper fashion. The ACC is a big employer and important to the local economy. I wouldn't want any special favors for them". So even though McCain was caught up in the scandal, I do believe that he really wanted no part of it, especially, judging by his statement to Wm. Black.

why do you delete your questions?
Edit: Oh then lol. McCain was one of the 5 senators that went under investigation for pressuring Charles Keating to back off the FHLBB (Federal Home Loan Bank Board) investigaiton with Lincoln Savings and Loan because those senators had campaign interests with Lincoln Savings and Loan.
After he was caught in the scandal he went on to sponsor the Campaign Reform Act...an effort to stay in politics. The other senators in the scandals gave up re-election.

So Bombings at the instant are not substantial then? Intimidating own loan officers isn't substantial? Radical Islam isn't substantial? Obama incredibly desires to start explaining his grimy laundry. McCain admitted Keating became "the worst mistake" .. Obama continues to be asking you to positioned on rose colored glasses. What if he defended the adult adult males bombing your mom, father, or buddies? What if he lead the folk status over your loved ones's shoulders intimidating them into giving a unqualified own loan? What happens whilst the certainty squad shows up at your door? Terrorism, extremists and radicals at the instant are not the respond.
