I have twenty-seven years experience in commercial real estate. This type of land exchange is very common between private developers and federal, state, county and municipal governments.

Of course the "devil is in the details" and how the publice percieves the Issue and the McCain response.

I suspect this is nada.

The Republican *** s l e a z e *** just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

I agree with Charlene about this Republican congressman Vito Fossella who was recently arrested for drunk driving and yesterday admitted to having a child out of wedlock!

Here is ANOTHER member of the party that preaches to us about their "family values" and then they get caught having sex (and children) out of wedlock, driving drunk, having sex in bathrooms, groping underage congressional pages, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

Just do an online search for "Republican scandals" and you'll get a flood of raw sewage!

Or, check out either of these PARTIAL listings of Repugnican pervs:

WHO CARES! If there wasn't anything wrong with any of the candidates, we would find that wrong. No politician has ever done something that isn't self serving, and most have done something that is against what Americans would like to see. If what he did is illegal, charge him. If not, drop it. If America wants to do better, stop voting for politicians and lawyers, and vote for one of the working people who know what life is really like. Take away their political pensions, their political insurance, and make them get their benefits through a real job, like the rest of us, and then they might start to fix things.

There are plenty of shady things about McCain and they will all be discussed soon....as soon as Hillary decides she really is toast and campaigning for the general election begins. Up 'til this point, the focus has been almost totally on Obama's faults/failings/weaknesses (real or perceived). The Clinton's and the right-wing media has managed that!

There's plenty that will come out on McCain. Almost everyone likes some things that he has done, but once they find out all of the facts they won't like him as much as they think they do now. He flip flops from one side of the fence to the other, mostly trying to help pals out or get revenge on someone who crossed him. His main motivation is his ego.
A broken clock is right twice a day.

McCain is either easily bought because his campaign hasn't been getting enough fat money donations, or he's easily fooled because economics isn't his strongest area.

Either way, he has exposed weaknesses.

MC-CAIN THE UNELECTABLE NEO-CON CANDIDATE IN THE AMERICAN CULTURAL WAR

Amnesty for Illegal Aliens
Support for the Outsourcing of Jobs and Technology to China
Support for the Illegal and Un-patriotic Sacrifice of American Wealth and Blood for Israel
Demonization and Ridicule of the Christian Conservatives
Slander and Ridicule of Ron Paul, Romney, and Huckabee
Government Supported Sacrificial Killing of Children by Abortion
McCain-Feingold Legislative Suppression of Internet Freedom of Speech
Unethical Political Tactics in Primaries
“Occupy Iraq for 100 Years”,“Bomb Iran”, and “Let’s just keep Afghanistan”
Tax and Spend Opposition to Bush Tax Cuts
No Solution to the Oncoming Recession and Inflation
No Solution for Providing Affordable Health Care
No Solution for the Social Security Crisis
Insignificant Social and Economic Accomplishments in Long Scandalous and Contentious Political Career

Being such a notoriously incompetent, morally depraved and dishonest politician, and such a pretentious Christian and patriot, insanely dishonoring his God and his Constitution, how can he ever be trusted to cherish and honor the American People?

Running Podhoretz Neo-Con McCain as Conservative is a pretentious scam that has fooled many trusting conservative voters; and has condemned him to the Conservative Republican firing squad.

Yep!

I'm know the general area and the land deal is about 50-50% split with even mayors having different opinions. This gives room for Flagstaff to grow.

Az. land is 87% gov't owned and much of it is hodged-podged and checker boarded .
So the devil is in the details. As to the Verde River , McCain's wife's property is on it. So I don't see him deliberately screwing up the Verde Valley.

Why did they have to wait so long to tell us about this? If he did something wrong ... ARREST HIM. If he did nothing wrong ... leave it be. This is just yellow journalism.
