From the article you linked.

Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".

You couldnt find a less biased website as a source? Your second link showwed nothing in the way of him being censored or begging to keep his job.

Try this one, source.

In the end, McCain received only a mild rebuke from the Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgment" for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating. Still, he felt tarred by the affair.

"The appearance of it was wrong," McCain said. "It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do."

McCain noted that Bennett, the independent counsel, recommended that McCain and Glenn be dropped from the investigation.

I wonder why we don't hear more about ACORN? Oh wait... I know. LOL

**Puckstop31** · 10-14-2008, 08:41 AM

"Investigators probing ACORN have learned that an Ohio man registered to vote several times and cast a bogus ballot with a fake address, officials said yesterday, as they revealed that nearly 4,000 registration applications supplied by the left-leaning activist group were suspect. "

"Teenager Freddie Johnson said he was offered smokes and dollar bills to fill out voter registration cards. "

And of course.... BO "distances" himself from ANOTHER shady "friend".

BO has a clear lead. Why does all this need to happen? OR, if he really has nothing to do with it, condemn it.

From ACORN grow mighty OAFS.

If it wasn't so tragic it would be funny.

MORONS.

Screw it, Im tired of the stupid sh!7 from both campaigns. Im back to my original plan, NObama, No McSame.

Voting Libertarian Party for POTUS and, AIP for everything else.

When we were relocated to SoCal four years ago I wanted to register to vote. There was a stand outside the grocery store. I asked if I could register even though I as yet had nothing to show I lived in California.

No problem.

I began filing out the paperwork. I checked Independent. The man working the registration told me no, I had to register as Republican. I told him I had been registered to vote since my 18th birthday and had never registered for any party.

He replied he would not get paid unless I registered as a Republican.

I guess he did not get paid.

Later I saw in the news some fuss about it.

Shenanigans in voter registration is as old as dirt and is not the sole preserve of any party!

But when you are desparate....

**Puckstop31** · 10-15-2008, 12:22 PM

Any party paying people to try and register FIRST time voters? No problem.

Paying people to register people, multiple times? Dead people? Felons? Not so much.

Mickey Mouse? Come on. LOL At least put SOME effort into it.

ETA - I do agree with you however that voter registration fraud is not the domain of any one party. All the more reason to wipe the slate clean!!! Vote for ANYbody other than either of these clowns. Send the message that we are done with the parties dividing us.

Whoa...now that's a bit much. I think that would make me want to register for the other party! Hopefully he got in trouble for that one. Guess I should be glad that I registered to vote in the computer era, where I was able to do it online.
