The best career move for McCain was getting shot down in Nam and being a POW. Never would have heard of him otherwise.

Listening to McPain jump on the Obama bandwagon every month or so is torture enough for me.

I wish he would go away and take his wife and daughter with him.

Someone should remind John, torture broke him. He said so himself at the 2008 acceptance speech.

I wondered if anyone would say that here. And, rather than being the most qualified senator to speak on this subject, he might be the least qualified. People who have such intense, personal experiences with some issue aren't usually the best ones to set policy on those issues.

Does anyone recommend allowing the parents of school shooting victims to set new gun control laws?

The real headline: McCain suffering from Senile Dementia.

Of course to liberals, any coercive or unpleasant tactics (some of which don’t even rise up to the level of a fraternity hazing during rush week) are considered “torture”, especially if the President is republican.

Just what the liberals were waiting for. Old John opens his mouth and they clap like fools. Forget the fact I doubt he knows if it is true or not.

Listen, I understand he was a hero and tortured and suffered, but when he comes out and says things that may or may not be true it just hurts everyone and gets the left all happy.

I can’t stand it when some RINO gives the left any more ammo than they deserve.

There are many in the inner circle who said that it was due to information gleaned from torture that we got UBL and I believe them over old Juan.

Johnny McCain.. how many times do I have to tell you that NOT taking your medication and NOT staying in your room is eventually going to result in our having to strap you into your wheelchair and medicate you even further.

Now here's some candy corn. Sit over there with the others and be quiet until dinner.

McFish has what they call Stockholm Syndrome. I sometimes think it would have been more dangerous had he won than the imposter we now have as POTUS.

McCain is a liar who is only where he is now because his father and grandfather were Admirals. If he wasn’t a child of privilege he wouldn’t have even got in the Naval Academy, to be the class ‘anchor man’.

If they got the info by reading Meaghan’s book to them non-stop... then yeah, that would be torture.

When the Pubbie nominating convention is deadlocked or otherwise fractured in 2012, guess who the nominee will be? Those who voted for Zero and later realized their error will jump at the second chance; he hasn’t pissed off the illegals; he’s old and that’s a form of damage control (only one term); he’s got military experience (in fact, experience of *any* kind, which is lacking in Zero).

Just detailing the future thought processes.

Thanks Free ThinkerNY.
