McCain's mask

McCain is close to that right-wing edge of his party that was sharpened by his former comrade-in-arms, Goldwater. . . .

Even the generally tolerant media could not cover up this scandal since McCain was one of the “Keating Five” (five U.S. Senators who had taken money from Keating and worked on Lincoln’s behalf).

Many of the leaders of his campaign are professional lobbyists who represent the most aggressive companies to work the halls of Washington, D.C.
