No need to go there.
Slam him for his political pandering and phoney "above the fray" style, but leave his military record out of it.
No matter the majority they have, elected Republicans just don't know how to govern.

His military record? How many jets did this nitwit crash and he got away with it because Dayddy was brass?
I agree, they got to him. Broke him like a pencil point. He rode his daddie's coattails though his naval career and pilot training, was a lousy pilot who killed shipmates on the deck and who further proved his worthlessness as a pilot by getting his ass shot down. Even without the brainwashing his PTSD makes him untrustworthy, but with the brainwashing he is communist agent. He shouldn't be trusted as far as he should be thrown.
You may be correct about the North Vietnamese and brainwashing. Go to:http://www.usvetdsp.com/manchuan.htm
and read it.
McCain's record while a prisoner is nothing to be proud of.
Also, be sure to go to the A&E website and tell them you won't watch their movie about McCain next Monday night.
Your right. After the release of the recent movie bestowing sainthood on him for his alleged courage while a POW anyone that knocks his military service will be pilloried and stoned.
It doesn't stop my curiosity though.
I don't care.
There's no need to bring up his Vietnam days.
There's plenty of recent history to nail him for.
We (libs and conservatives alike) are all so concerned about how appellate and Supreme Ct. justices will rule concerning legislation--legislation passed by freely elected US and state legislators. Yet, there is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING in the US constitution giving federal judges the authority to overturn legislation passed by such legislators. The judiciary (under Chief Justice Marshall) essentially seized this power in a constitutional coup in the seminal case Marbury vs. Madison. What we conservatives should be debating is whether the institution of judicial review should even exist in this day and age. Most representative republics don't have it. A law passed by a freely elected parliament is assumed to be constitutional. That is how it is in Britain and most of Europe. American legislators and executives swear an oath to uphold and defend the US constitution. It is thus unthinkable that they would introuduce, let alone pass legislation violating our Constitution. I know this seems quixotic, but if we press our allies in the Federalist society and in Congress, we may, someday, be able to push through a constituional amendment eliminating the odious doctrine of judicial review.
"There's no need to bring up his Vietnam days"
Why are we being politically correct? That's for liberal wimps, not us folks on the right. Maybe Charlie did smack McCain upside the head once too often, thus destroying the personality needed to be a good Senator. Let's face the possibility like adults, OK.
It's not being "politically correct"... it's unnecessary, in my opinion.
There's plenty of things to slam him for withouth having to go back 30+ years.
"There's plenty of things to slam him for withouth having to go back 30+ years."
Yes but maybe the damage McCain suffered to his noggin back in the day is what is making him such a crappy Senator now!
I browsed through the article you linked and am not surprised to read that there are others who believe as I do about McCain. I have bookmarked it for a more thorough read later.
Thanks for pointing me in that direction.
John McCain . . . from Hero to Hack in less then a lifetime.
"extraordinary circumstances"=dim doublespeak for:
"We don't like him/her."
Turn out the lights, shoo the fat lady out the door.
Thanks to McCain & Co., it was over before it began. The DemocRodents can still 'Bork' anyone that doesn't pass their litmus test. (In other words, any conservative appointment.)
It was over when the the kleagle from W. VA started out with, "I knew Benjamin Franklin . . ."
Should the GOP senators filibuster a judicial nominee, the Democrats will, without the slightest hesitation, use the "nuclear" option.
I remember seeing a picture of a rino with John McCain's face on it. Looked pretty lifelike.
It would be worth posting if somebody has it.
Isn't that "(s)crappy" senator?
At least that's what the MSM would call him.
