Working, you actually think the actions of John McCain while he was a POW being tortured is equivalent of John Kerry when he went to Paris to negotiate with the North Vietnamese???

No, no, no - I tried to post the distinction that many of us are making, namely, military service does not guarantee the actions or trustworthiness of a veteran. Kerry is unquestionably scum and the truth is, many other veterans are scum, too. Prisons are full of veterans.

So, for a logic refresher, am I implying that all veterans are criminals? No, not at all. I'm not even saying the McCain is conscientiously treasonous. For the record: I can even believe that he's doing what he believes is right. That said, it ain't. Any kind of evolution of Federal power is a diminution of individual rights. Further, America stands alone on the basis of the Constitution - she is NOT a component of a global communality and under thralldom to provide aid, comfort or opportunity to other nations. We respect and aid other lovers of liberty, but NOT the cost of our own.

Simply put, John McCain, despite his service, is an anathema to traditional American liberties. POW service is no kind of basis for putting in McCain in charge of anybody's freedom. In the end, I may vote for him because he is the slow boat to hell vs. the greased slide. Then again, principle may win out and I'll vote for the better candidate and let the Left win - at least we can confront evil openly in a RAT.

McCain is NOT a man to be trusted with my liberties even though he suffered under the hands of my nation's enemies.
