McCain admitted guilt and returned some money—that makes up for petty corruption. But the point is policy not corruption. The 1989 S&L crisis warned of the danger of banking deregulation. McCain missed the warnings and stuck by his de-regulation advisor, Phil Gramm (It's-a-mental-recession), for 15 years—till July 2008.
McCain says that in September he finally got it—bankers need to be regulated. What do you think? Watch for Phil Gramm in the video. More on Phil Gramm

"We will stay in Iraq, fight in Iraq, and win in Iraq"
From a speech delivered by President Bush
at a National Republican Senatorial Committee reception
Transcript Published: Friday October 20, 2006, rawstory.com
Our goal in Iraq is clear and it's unchanging: a country that can sustain itself, a country that can govern itself, a country that can defend itself, and a country which will be an ally in the war against these extremists. Our strategy is threefold: to help rebuild that country, to help the political process move forward, and to help the Iraqis stand up security forces that are capable of defeating the enemy themselves. (Applause.)
Our tactics are constantly changing. I talk to our generals who are in charge of these operations, and my message to them is: Whatever you need, we'll give you, and whatever tactics you think work on the ground, you put in place. Our goal hasn't changed, but the tactics are constantly adjusting to an enemy which is brutal and violent.
My message to the United States of America is victory in Iraq is vital for the security of a generation of Americans who are coming up. And so we will stay in Iraq, we will fight in Iraq, and we will win in Iraq!
