John McCain's son & Silver State

Anyone following how this is barely getting coverage in the "liberal" (yeah right) media?

how about some sort of link, Pete, for those of us who can't read your mind?

Actually I left the link out to see if people even knew about it.

Gets tired after a while how people love to call the media "liberal" which is about as far from the truth as you can get...

Here's a link for you.

it's Silver State Bank, he was on the BoD for 5 months, and he resigned so as not to draw any undue attention to it as a troubled bank during his father's White House run.

there's not really any news there, Pete...???

 

[OldPeteAgain]

FYI:

The bank has failed already -- that article just shows the part where the losses, etc. and Lil'McCain, etc. You have to look for information since a lot of the media has been pulling the story.

I don't know why that could be.

IMHO:
If lil'Palin was older, the two of them would be good together.

I'd love to debate this with you... PM sent.

It says that neither him nor his father have anything to do with the bank's losses. That's why this is not in the news.

 

[OldPeteAgain]

Well then, there you go. It must be true then.

I would like to know the compensation he received before passing judgement. i.e. was it a cash grab?

 

[OldPeteAgain]

Actually. I thought of a good way to do this without offending anyone.

Would you rather have his son had been sitting on a board for a bank that HAS GONE UNDER or one that was STILL in business and had sound lending practices?

???

Agreed. There are lots of details I'd like to know. Was there lending to McCain's wife's daddy... and other connections that I would love to know more about.

A lot can happen in the time he was there.

Opps. Sorry, looks like he was involved longer:

"He had served since 2006 on the board of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Choice Bank, which Silver State acquired this spring."

Almost missed that... I can understand how Jay did.

 

[OldPeteAgain]

The more I read... the more interesting it is... (Choice Bank)...

Unless McCain senior used his position to influence anything at the bank what his adult son does on his own is his son's business.

I guess... "The apple doesn't fall from the tree" -- is IMHO.

If you instill values and morals in your children and live by same, chance are the proof is in the pudding, eh?

 

[Tom Parish]

Not when the children are adults.:crazy: Now you are taking about guilt by association.

 

[OldPeteAgain]

To each his own, then.
