Few people in Washington have been as adamant and clear on the stakes in Iraq as John McCain (Joe Lieberman would be another). I admire him for that. All Americans — especially those of us who are not carrying the burden of this war in the deep and personal way some others of us are — do. But the aspects of John McCain that I admire have been eclipsed, of late, by his less-than-honorable side.
Back in March, during a blogger conference call, McCain criticized other senators who use their service in Vietnam as a political club to bludgeon those who didn’t serve. He said that his own foreign-policy views — unlike those of, say, Senators Chuck Hagel and Jim Webb — are based on a lifetime of experience, and are not framed by events that took place 30 years ago (Hagel and Webb being examples of bludgeoners). McCain said that his own positions on national security do not always hearken back to Vietnam.

McCain is lying scumball. I hope these tactics boomerang big time and he goes down in flames.
From an email I received:
Does McCain agree with this? Has he offered Hernandez, a former high-level foreign government official who presumably swore an oath to uphold the Mexican constitution, a place in a future McCain Administration? That’s not a rhetorical question.” http://welcome-vote-2008.blogspot.com/2007/11/fiestas-mccain.html

JOHN MCCAIN HAS ON HIS CAMPAIGN STAFF, A FORMER MEMBER OF VICENTE FOX’S ADMINISTRATION, NAMED, “JUAN HERNANDEZ”.
This guy is a dual citizen, who worked for a foreign President and government, and now works for McCain as an advisor and promoter.

A Talk With Mexico’s Migration Chief Juan Hernández emerges as the architect of new Mexico-U.S. relations
Now, this SHOULD be the end of McCain’s campaign. HERE’S YOUR SMOKING GUN, AMERICA. HERE’S YOUR NORTH AMERICAN UNION. Here’s your ‘WAR HERO”, who teamed up with Ted Kennedy to shove amnesty down America’s throats, who is STILL THE OPEN BORDERS PHONY WE’VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT. Is THIS what you want, America? Is THIS what you want, American veterans and Republican Kool-Aid drinkers. JOHN MCCAIN IS A DISGRACE. JOHN MCCAIN SHOULD QUIT NOW!

“Actually, this is more like transnationalism. A reader alerted me to the fact that McCain’s “Hispanic Outreach Director” is the same guy who held that job for Mexico’s President Vicente Fox! U.S.-born dual citizen Juan Hernandez was in Fox’s cabinet as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad and is notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, “I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.’”
McHypocrite?
"We Catholics call that an epiphany," said Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Joseph Biden, D-Del., who is sponsoring the main Democratic resolution opposing the troop buildup.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said: "I called for that . . . several weeks ago. I'm glad that John McCain agrees with me.
Wonder why I despise this guy?
McCain criticized other senators who use their service in Vietnam as a political club to bludgeon those who didn’t serve.
Right, how despicable of them. I guess that's why you always stop and correct people who say you're a "War Hero".
Huh? You've never done that. Oh, okay, I see...
Hernandez and the Univision guy working for McCain.
Disgusting.
I’m glad this is seeing the light of day.
I don't wonder.
Thank you for the link.
BTW, your tagline is still applicable.
If McCain is elected president, he will switch parties and become a Democrat.
He would do it to avoid the serious challenge he would face within the GOP for renomination in 4 years.
McCain would move quickly to pump up his Democrat credentials as soon as he takes office.
“combat valor and bravery as a prisoner of war — was that it verged on crass.” What combat valor and bravery as a prisoner of war? Does this woman do any actual research or is she content to just accept what the MSM oohs and aahs about— an which never happened.
Is this what we expect from NRO. Please, please give a single instance of Senator McCain’s “combat valor.” Was it taking out the power lines in Spain or plunging his trainer into Corpus Christi Bay? Maybe it was getting shot down on his first mission.
