Perhaps McCain is making obvious Christian statements to gain support for 2008.

[SteveMcKing]

And therefore he feels it necessary to wreck, subvert, and disable good and proven policy where ever he finds it -- advocating liberal views on both domestic and international issues while promoting himself as a "moderate republican" the whole time.

But how dare I question his actions when his resume has sooo many items on it, and with a water-mark even!

[johniegrad]

Do I sense a run for president coming up? Sorry if I'm too cynical.

[ArcadeQuarters]

<sarcasm>What a great story. Christians should forget everything they know about him and vote for him.</sarcasm>

This guy is so full of $hit his eyes are brown. He is a sellout RINO. I would not believe a word he says.

[HereInTheHeartland]

McCain would use something like this for political gain? Nah not good old John McCain!
But that's quite a moving story if true. But I would guess that McCain's chances (At least here in Iowa) would be about 1% of getting any support for 2008.

I've heard similar stories told by Aussie prisoners of
Japan during WWII...one story was of a guard who brought extra food,etc...secretly...so that the other guards wouldn't report him,which would have resulted in execution.

The Occupational Safety and Health Association has determined that the most dnagerous place in the world to be is between John McCain and a TV camera.

McCain's book is sub-titled "Me, Myself and I".

Jeezus H. Christ!
Throw a net over me now.
I'm as crazy as the day is long!

Reminds me of The Rapist's photo-op at Normandy, when he made a little cross out of stones that were conveniently piled there for the purpose.

[Zack Nguyen]

He just stared at the ground and then, very casually, he used his foot to draw a cross in the dirt. We both stood looking at his work for a minute until he rubbed it out and walked away."

That is very moving. God always has his faithful, even in places where the government disallows it. God's kingdom cannot be stopped, ever!

If you have the chance, pick up Wurbrnad's book Tortured for Christ concerning the undergorund Church in Romania and the USSR under Communism.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Sounds like a Clinton making a cross with strategically place rocks on Normandy beach. I don't buy McCain's storytelling.

[Candor7]

Wow, this revelation of McCains makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I wonder how much of it is true? I read his autobiography in 1999, and he didn't mention this loosening of ropes in that book. I wonder why. Is McCain undergoing a Kerryesque selective memory enhancement about his war years?

Grain of Salt here!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

I was wondering when the John McCain buildup threads were gonna start shis must be close to the first of many to come.

Comb your hair john brush your pearly whites your about to get your Godsize picture taken !

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

I absolutely HATE it when this guy extorts his veteranism or POW stuff. Any vet I now worth his salt never ever ever discusses his/her service. EVER. You look at them, they look at you, and you just respect them. Thats it.

This guy is, well, the Moderator won't let me say it (and keep my post).

[DoughtyOne]

The beauty of this type of comment out of McCain, is how can you challenge it? I've laid off comments about his imprisonment for much the same reason. I wasn't there and don't know all the facts. He could say J.C. Himself came to visit him in the P.O.W. prision, and I'd have to stand back and wonder...

I can't put my finger on it precisely, but something about John McCain rings as phoney as a three dollar bill. I don't trust him and most often find myself thinking he's only in this for his own personal gain. Perhaps it's the fact that he gets his mug on the tube more than anyone I know of.

I don't want John McCain anywhere near the White House in an offical capacity of any kind. That being said, some of the people I've supported have screwed the pooch as far as I am concerned. Who knows, John McCain might surprise me in the other direction if given a chance.

You will NEVER catch me voting for John McCain. If we can't find anybody better than him to loft, we can just lose for all I care.

If he's our candidate in 2008 against Hillary, I'm on the record right now that I will not vote. Republican leaders, if you're scared to death of a Hillary presidency, you best not loft John McCain.

[paudio]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't McCain a reliable conservative in Senate until he nurtured his ambition to be a president in late 1990s?

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

I'll bet it's seared, just seared into his memory.
