Such as, MortMan, his out front ACTION in being an advocate and supporter of Iraqi Freedom - and particularly the Surge and Gen. Petraeus when it was hugely unpopular to do so...????
Is that "rhetoric", MortMan????
It is interesting that a man puts his Presidential ambitions second to emphatically doing what is right in defending this nation (in addition to spending 5 1/2 years in a hellhole of a North Vietnamese torture chamber/prison, refusing an early release until the other POW's were freed) and you term this "rhetoric"...
MortMan, I regret getting personal but you punched my button:
If you say that McCain's manifest actions of duty, honor and country are just "rhetoric", how about supplying us with some examples of your REAL actions, so that we inferiors can, in all humbleness better distinguish between action and rhetoric...
McCain-Feingold
McCain-Kennedy (back-burnered, but no legislative push to enforce the law and build the fence in its place)
Cap-and-Trade (McCain-Lieberman?)
Gang of 14
Actions, all.
I do not detract at all from his military service, nor do I detract from his support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. But neither will I allow anyone to attempt to bludgeon me with selective amnesia over the signature legislative acts and cabal formations that McCain has used to burnish his star over the last several years.
You say I punched your button, but all I did was cite the truth of McCain’s activities over the last 8 years. Perhaps that is something you should consider as you attempt to convince others to follow your line of thinking.
