Sen. John McCain

John McCain's personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc.

IRE reporters Amy Silverman and John Doherty, writing in the Phoenix New Times, note that the father of McCain's wife, James Hensley, was convicted by a federal jury in U.S. District Court of Arizona in March 1948 on seven counts of filing false liquor records. Hensley also was charged with conspiracy to hide from federal authorities the names of persons involved in a liquor industry racket with two companies he managed, United Sales Company in Phoenix and United Distributors in Tucson.

The umbrella company, United Liquor, at that time held a monopoly in Arizona, organized and managed by Kemper Marley, who was accused of mob ties by a reporter who was murdered in 1977.

Silverman and Doherty report that by 1955, Hensley had launched a Budweiser distributorship in Phoenix, "a franchise reportedly bestowed upon him by Marley, who was never indicted in the 1948 liquor-law-violation case – or a subsequent one – despite his controlling role in the liquor distribution businesses."

13. More information: US Constitution Party
Corsi is a registered member of the US Constitution Party, which was founded in 1999 as the US Taxpayers Party. Earlier this year, Corsi entertained the idea of running for the Constitution Party's presidential nomination, but decided against it. The Constitution Party's 2008 presidential nominee is Chuck Brewster.

Alan Keyes is also a member of the Constitution Party, as is minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist. Randall Terry was a member of the Taxpayers Party at one time. Former Republican US Senator Bob Smith of New Hampshire is a member and has also toyed with the idea of running for the party's nomination.

The party opposes abortion, gay rights, government sponsored health care, the war on drugs and the Patriot Act. It supports capital punishment, an individual right to bear arms, making English the official language of the US and the right of a state to secede from the Union.

12. In 2007, he registered to vote in the Constition Party
Here is an article from his local paper. http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008808240339

I live in the same county, and seeing this article on the front of my paper yesterday was not pleasant - both because the article doesn't make a strong enough case that he is a despicable liar and that he lives in a nearby town.
