And that makes McCain qualified to lead our nation how?

It certainly provides qualifications that his competitors do not have.

Below are some other "qualification" his competitors lack
(fortunately):


News clip from the January 17, 1995, Arizona Republic:

"About 300 guests turned out Saturday night to celebrate the 90th
birthday of Joseph 'Joe Bananas' Bonanno, retired boss of New
York's Bonanno crime family. He retired to Tucson in 1968. . .
John McCain, R-Ariz., and Gov. Fife Symington (later also
convicted of fraud) sent their regards by telegram."

After McCain's election to the House in 1982, he and his family
made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, three of which were
to Keating's Bahamas retreat. McCain did not disclose the trips
(as he was required to under House rules) until the scandal broke
in 1989. At that point, he paid Keating $13,433 for the flights.

And in April 1986, one year before the meeting with the
regulators, McCain's wife, Cindy, and her father invested $359,100
in a Keating strip mall.
