My Dad was a naval aviator when McCain was in. Unfortunately, when I was young enough to pick a naval career, RK surgery was new. I correct to 20/15 (I’m nationally ranked with the M16 service rifle), but uncorrected is 20/400. So, no naval career for me. I serve in a civilian capacity. Yes, that’s possible. If not for us, the pointy end of the stick wouldn’t have anything to shoot with, nor would they have better equipment than the other side.
Of course, that’s not the point. You are either unable or unwilling to discuss McCain’s record. The man apparently believes the United States should not have a border. That’s what his friend Hernandez believes, and McCain has said he agrees with him. Past honorable actions do not excuse current dishonorable ones.
So, with no capability for form a rational argument, you use the ad hominem tactic to attack me to deflect attention from your boy’s abysmal record.
“But, if, up to this point in your life, you have done anything to advance the cause of freedom, now is a good time to begin.”
So, is THAT what John McCain was doing when he went after the 1st Amendment? Perhaps his crooked deals like the one he had with Keating? Why did he push to normalize relations with Vietnam and close the MIA files? Why does he work for Soros?
Being a mere infantryman, I don’t quite understand why not qualifying for a naval aviator disqualified you from service. My battalion had a lot of hispanics, among our enlisted men and my fellow officers.
John McCain’s lifetime ACU rating is about average for a Republican. He is actually quite good on some issues, but disappointing in some others. He was neither my first nor second choice for the Republican nomination, in a field that, overall, I wasn’t impressed with.
Barak Obama has the most “liberal” record in the U.S. Senate (for the part-year he actually participated) (”socialist” would be a more accurate description). He is supported by Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and Minister Farrakhan. Of course, he did not serve in our country’s military.
