I think that the important question is "What did McCain learn from the Keating Five?"

He clearly did not learn that deregulation of the S&L industry which cost thousands their savings and pensions was a bad thing.

He clearly did not learn that deregulation of the Finance Industry which is costing millions their 401k and pensions and savings, is a bad thing.

He has even found ways to cheat his own Campaign Finance Reform.

How can we reward a man who was unable to learn a thing from what he has described as "his most horrible personal event"?

I say we defeat McCain in 2008.

I distinctly remember the Savings and Loan collapse. At the time, I was an employee of one of the affected institutions. The cause was loose deregulation and the wanton abuse of those who were in charge. McCain and his ilk had pushed for the deregulation of the industry, and obviously learned nothing from that long ago terrible experience since he continued to promote, and vote, for the deregulation of the financial sector. My IRA and few investments are in shambles…like many of my peers, I did all I knew how to provide for myself in old age…of late, deep concern and insecurity is my daily fare.

Let’s retire McCain and send Pilan back to her pit!
