I was on the fence about voting for him..the border fence, that is, which I note is a reason why so many here intend not to vote for him. I will not attempt to persuade you otherwise.
The chances that I will actually vote for McCain just went from infinitesimal to maybe, all thanks to Wes Clark. Way to go, Wes.
I wonder. How many others have reacted as I have? Which of the douche bag secondteamer amateurs on Obama’s team thought up this gambit?
Good job. You may have just handed the election to John McCain. I salute you.
He had connections.
Ditto.
There are many, many things I don't like about McCain, but I deeply respect and appreciate his military service. I also respect the character he has shown in not trying to get elected based on his past military service or the current military service by his sons.
Agreed! How could you not respect him for his military service? His Perfumed Prince is a fraud, a servile supplicant of the Dalai Bama. General Grant hated these pretentious martinets. In fact, had Weazly Clark been with Grant, Grant would have demoted him to buck private. Clark is a political hack, plain and simple.
I agree with Wesley Clark. Military service does not automatically qualify someone to hold the office of President.
And Wesley Clark is all the proof one needs of that.
MacArthur was awarded a MOH. JFK was not.
How dare we question the Obama family’s six-year long chosen sacrifice of lesser income when all the McCain family did was spend five and a half years apart wondering if they’d ever see each other again, while Mr. McCain was merely lying around with broken bones in a POW camp./sarc
Wait a minute, wasn’t Mrs. Obama an associate in a law firm and assistant to the Mayor of Chicago, etc.? Perhaps they weren’t reduced to food stamps after all.
The ultimate in appeasement. Offering up a Muzzie to placate the goat lovers.
Not a hero for the losing his boat certainly, but perhaps for having an injured back and swimming in likely shark-inhabited water looking for help (also, for towing another injured man during two of the swims).
As a Colonel, after his release from an enemy prison camp, John McCain rose to the rank of Colonel and had a command at that level. It was not a wartime command.
Actually, Clark didn’t command a combat command as a Colonel, either. He command a brigade at Ft Carson in about 1986.
His “combat” command was in Europe during the Bosnia or Kosovo years. As I recall, those weren’t combat commands either for an Army General. The Air Force did a lot of bombing and then the Army sent in a division to peacekeep. There was no ground campaign at all.
So Clark, if he really means what he said, just disqualified himself from consideration for political office.
Incidentally, Gen Clark....McCain went from Colonel to Senator. You went from Col to Gen. McCain OUTRANKS you and got HIGHER than you.
If I were a Democrat and had to think about supporting Hussein, the unqualified empty-suit, the witch on a broom, Tom Daschle, the Mighty Louse, Dingy Harry Reid, Nancy Belagosi, and all the other clowns, idiots assembled into the Democrat party, I would seriously consider changing parties or countries...
Let's see, I'm a Catholic... so I guess I'll listen to Mr Wesley spout off about mean old McCain.
Oh, wait a minute. I hate Obama, despise the perfumed prince and would rather slit my throat than vote for a member of the traitorous democrat party...
I guess I'll just hold my nose and vote for McCain. Maybe we can get some conservatives in the house and senate to block his bills.
JFK never received the MOH.
John F. Kennedy received the "Navy and Marine Corps Medal" for the rescue of three of his crew after PT 109 sank but that was a totally separate matter from losing his boat.
The loss of his PT boat under conditions that might be attributed to negligence may have gotten Lt.(j.g.) John F. Smith court-martialed but not Lt.(j.g.) John F. Kennedy, the son of Joe Kennedy, court-martialed.
That would be "Captain", Padre.
We don't have "Colonels" in the Navy. ;-)
No Ho would have him. He had to settle for sum yung guy!
Kennedy was NOT a Medal of Honor man!
BWAHAA!!!
Looks like Generally Weaseley is forgetting The First Rule of Holes.
