McCain didn’t report ties to group that supplies arms to Nicaraguan terrorists

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

As a freshman congressman in the early 1980s, John McCain did not disclose his connections to a controversial group that was implicated in a secretive plot to supply arms to Nicaraguan militia groups during the Iran-Contra affair.

McCain did not list his service on the board of the U.S. Council for World Freedom on mandatory congressional disclosure forms asking about positions he held outside government.

...

McCain joined the board of the U.S. Council soon after Singlaub founded it in McCain’s adopted hometown of Phoenix in November 1981 as the U.S. branch of the World Anti-Communist League. The league billed itself as a supporter of “pro-Democratic resistance movements fighting communist totalitarianism,” but it had also been branded by critics as a haven for extremists, racists and anti-Semites.

...

A review of the personal financial disclosure forms McCain filed after his election to the U.S. House in 1982 show that he did not list the group in the section of his 1982, 1983 and 1984 reports in which he was required to disclose all positions he held outside of government.

Why would he???? Such a disclosure would be bad for his career.

I believe his explanation. He didn't really know who they were and once he found out, he immediately requested for his name to be removed from their letterhead.

However, this shows, IMO, a tendency to be impulsive which I find quite scary when considering a candidate for President.

I'm sure that Johnny will regret having started this useless nonsense of talking ####### about associations. Can't wait to have all them skeletons in his closet brought to light. Keep it coming. Johnny's going down. Big time.

Don't be so sure.

Negative campaigning has a proven record of moving numbers. There's no reason - none - to think these attacks on Obama won't have the intended effect.

Not this time. People actually reject this dirty nonsense that the McSame / Bush-Palin ticket is spending their time and effort on. They show all too clearly that they don't give a rats ####### about the American people, the economy or the country. Me, me, me is what they're all about. And they show it without shame. This ain't gonna fly.
