McCain seeks to revive Rezko as campaign issue
Source: AP

CHICAGO – Trailing as Election Day nears, Republican John McCain and his allies are using "robo-calls" and fliers to revive the issue of Barack Obama's ties to a convicted felon, claiming the Democrat hasn't fully explained the relationship.

"Obama needs to come clean on this deal before the election so that the voters can judge whether Obama received monetary benefits," says an automated phone call by McCain's campaign about a financial transaction between Illinois Sen. Obama and Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

Mailers to voters in swing states make similar claims, and a conservative group filed an ethics complaint Thursday with the Senate.

But McCain offers no evidence of wrongdoing and raises no new allegations. Instead, he and his supporters claim Obama hasn't been forthcoming about his involvement with Rezko.

8. When will John McCain be forthcoming about his ties to neo-Nazis?
Why won't John McCain explain fully his relationship with that PLO terrorist Khalidi? Why won't John McCain explain the $800,000.00 he channeled to Khalidi's organization?

John McCain hasn't fully explained these relationships.

11. McCain has
surrounded himself with sleazeballs like Charlie Black. You remember him..the guy who said a terrorist attack in the U.S. would be a big advantage to McCain. This man ran a lobbying firm for Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire along with terrorist Jonas Savimbi in Angola. He also helped plan a coronation for Rev Sun Myung Moon a self delared Messiah and tax evader. When you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.
