I'm disgusted with the number of FReepers who side with Vladimir Putin, the ex-KGB agent who is destroying whatever semblance of democracy Russia had so he can be autocrat for life over an American war hero and former candidate for President.

So what if McCain is a RINO and disliked on this forum??? He is an American from a distinguished family who has spent his life in service to his country. And you would choose a closet communist dictator over him? God help the USA.

I suspect it’s less a matter of “taking sides” with Putin than disgust at the sheer stupidity, arrogance and wrongheadedness of McCain’s message, plus the fact that it’s typical of the man.

McInsane's...service to our country is to help elect Barack Hussein Obama by his appeasing campaign. We may not have a country in a few years thanks to John McCain's...service to our country.

I am sick and tired of the McCainiacs asking us to genuflect to this creep. He is a bitter and evil man and appeases the Democrats out of his reflex of appeasing the Communists when he was ensconsed somewhere in then North Vietnam.

p.s. We also have McCain to thank for looney George Soros controlling McCain's beloved Democrat party. George Soros was able to buy the Democratic party for bargain basement prices thanks to McCain/Feingold. And former Nazi collaborator George Soros is using the Democratic party to collapse America. A collapse from which he is making a tidy sum.

Agree with you. Putin is trying for a new style of Soviet dictatorship. Many Freepers are whacked. I'll take the Vietnam vet, thanks.

Don’t get your panties in a wad, Tank, I don’t think anybody here is siding with the commie thug Putin, I know I’m not, I understand exactly who Putin is, probably better than you. I posted this primarily for what I consider the humorous content of Vlad’s calling McManiac “nuts”—I think there is a great deal of humor in it, as one poster said, it’s like the kettle calling the pot black. I could do without both of them, particularly McManiac in the Senate. And, how long does McCain get a free ride for his service record, he’s done as much damage to this country from DC as he did good for it by his service in the USN.

"So what if McCain is a RINO and disliked on this forum??? He is an American from a distinguished family who has spent his life in service to his country."

Whatever McCain did prior to about 1980 notwithstanding, nearly everything he's done since has been reprehensible - up to and including sponsorship of a bill that just placed the US under permanent martial law.

I really don't see a dime's worth of difference between the two men. I suppose the irony of their public flame war is probably lost on the both of them.
