Is John McCain our generation's Benedict Arnold?

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

I just saw YET ANOTHER news clip from..... I dunno, human events. The source doesn't matter. What's happening? Amnesty. Who's involved? Of course, McCain.

I just cannot figure it out. I can't. Why?

If he gets amnesty passed, that by far overshadows every heroic/patriotic action he's ever done in his life.

Why would he do this?

[the invisib1e hand]

And you can’t even manage to respect him for what he’s given to his country?

[Uncle Chip]

This guy spent how many years in a POW camp?

apparently not enough

[raybbr]

And you can’t even manage to respect him for what he’s given to his country?

Nope. He burned that off years ago with CFR.

[Nea Wood]

Why would he do this?

Same as President Bush and all the others. He thinks it will make Hispanics vote Republican. And/or he thinks it will stop people from calling Republicans "racist." And the rich Republicans who want cheap labor will have a continuous supply of it.

[Paladin2]

No, Juan is just one of many.

what have you done lately?

Spending years in a POW camp does not make you a hero! It is what you do during that time that makes you a hero. Being a hero during a period in your life does not translate into heroic action thereafter in everything that you do. John McCain, in my opinion, has done some very bad things politically for many years. Just because he was a hero at one time does not excuse his treasonous actions now.

Name calling another FReeper does not counteract the logic of the other point. Your point, however, is that since he spent years in a POW camp gives John McCain a free pass forever is absurd.

[the invisib1e hand]

many words...many, many words.

[omega4179]

lots of the base would not have come out for Romney. A dem was going to win unless it was maybe romney vs hillary

[Uncle Chip]

what have you done lately?

A question that you should be asking your hero.

[dirtymac]

“You go too far.
Bush supported amnesty bills as well.”

Using Bush as an example of why we should not criticize McCain does not do McCain any favors. I think Bush was an idiot for his position on this (and other) piece(s) of legislation. Yes, Bush kept us safe from terrorist attacks but he sure screwed everything else up.

You’ve got that right,invisible.

There is a sub-species, which slinks through this website : wrapping itself in our flag,and calling a patriot a traitor - even as it seeks to pull the nation apart.

Line them up together - if you could stand the smell - and you wouldn’t have 1/10th of 1% of John Mc Cain’s value.

[cripplecreek]

I don’t see him as a Benedict Arnold simply because we knew what he was all along.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks for the laugh.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

No, but I suspect B. Hussein Obama and any number of other Senators and Representatives are.

[raybbr]

what have you done lately?

I was fixing my mower deck? Why what does that have to with McCain debasing U.S. citizenship by offering it to criminal invaders?

[rabscuttle385]

ping!

[hiredhand]

That’s good. :-)

[mel]

I was flabberghasted when he came out ahead in the primaries. Explain that one to me.

[TexasCajun]

Juan MeCain wants to get even with us evil Conservatives, that's why. MeCain has never given up on his and Bush's Amnesty plan.
