Yeah, I wonder if Obama will tell us about his military service record and his love for our military tonight...????
Good capsule version for ANTONE to read who still doesn’t know the story - which is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too many people at this point. I sent this to a friend last night and he actually called me and said that he had heard references to the fact he was a POW, but not quite so much detail.
Be careful. The McCain Deranged will be here soon. Ye shall be flamed.
According to some at this forum, McCain sold out his country for easy treatment, that he was treated well because his father was an Admiral.
Interesting.
The writer admits that he isn’t sure that he’ll vote for McCain, but encourages others to do so because of his ‘big heart’.
From this particular story, there is plenty of room for speculation about McCain’s time in captivity. Some who were there claim that he was honorable, others say differently.
First they thought that he was dying, then he made a surprising recovery. I’m here to tell you that without medical intervention and proper nutrition, dying people do not suddenly (or even slowly) get better. They get worse and die.
Then four years in solitary. Was he? Who knows?
I am just saying that for the most part, it’s a ‘he said, she said’ situation. His account acquits him while other’s reports condemn him. Who to believe?
I don’t know what when on there and damn few other do either and what I am about to say is not to condemn him for breaking IF he did break. Being subjected to torture can make a man do things that he would not ordinarily do. He knows that better than most and that’s why he opposes the use of torture now.
Since I don’t know what happened there then, my opposition to him is based on the damage that he’s done since then, the policies that he advances, and the potential for great harm if he sits in the Oval Office.
I know Obama is a much worse man than McCain. I don’t know that he won’t be more effective in undermining and destroying our liberty.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the Democrats start saying that McCain served time in jail for setting off bombs.
His POW esperience is irrelevant to becoming POTUS. His treatement of the POW families and his votes - of lack of - on veterans’ issues is a more important criteria. Palin is a far better choice for POTUS than McCain.
