6. We are arguing about it at a message board

The freeper said it leaves out the fact that he was exonerated and even left us the definition of exonerated lol. We are arguing that Obama just knowing someone (Ayers) who did some bad things is not the same thing as McCain who actually did bad things. (sorry but we have to put it in simple terms for them)

4. He was. Three Democratic senators were repremanded & he wasn't

The guy's campaign is swimming in lobbyists. That's your fresh meat there. Keating Five is a dud argument from 15 years ago.

The real problem with McCain is that he's been opposed to the types of reform & oversight on Wall Street that he now magically champions, he's ignorant about the economy, he wants to give tax breaks to jillionaires, he wants to tax health care benefits, and he plans to stay in Iraq and allow our troops to be target practice for people who don't want us there, while ignoring the need to go after bin Laden in Afghanistan.

7. You can go two ways

One:

Oh, you mean you aren't just like the people you talk to? Just like Obama isn't a terrorist just because a Professor in Chicago was one 40 years ago?

Two:

McCain supported the deregulation which got us into that mess, just like he supported the deregulation that got us into our current mess.

8. And Obama was never charged...

so what exactly is their fucking point? If they don't want to play the association game, they shouldn't have opened the box.

11. "Exonerated" is a lie.

"Less guilty than the others" is the truth.

It gives their brains wiggle room, while still planting seeds of doubt.

12. How do you get censored and exonerated?

He got rapped across the hands for BAD JUDGMENT. Unfortunately, he learned nothing from the incident other than to get of the graft that he doesn't need anyway and just push through the insane policies his friends want.

He went from possible "whore" to "slut" because he decided he didn't need the pay off.
McHoover just gives it up for free. Its extra "mavericky" that way!!!

14. As I understand it he was "ADMONISHED" that means found at fault and

spanked by his colleagues. I guess freepers don't realize what admonished means - maybe you should suggest they find a dictionary because it certainly DOES NOT mean exonerated.
