According to an article in the Des Moines Register, a link to which is posted on Mark Levin's Web site, Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin recently argued that John McCain's upbringing by a military family, rather than being a plus, is actually a liability because McCain would have a "hard time thinking beyond" the "world view shaped by" his military family upbringing, and also said it "can be pretty dangerous." Harkin: "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."

After constantly praising the military experience of Wesley Clark and John Kerry and what a benefit it would be for them if they were elected President, all of a sudden a military background is a drawback. I`m shocked.

I think Tom Harkin is dangerous to America.

Mr. niteowl77 (on Tom Harkin): "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been pals with communists, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."

Yes, but...

Harkin rakes in the pork for his constituents.

As long as he does THAT, he can probably SAY ANYTHING and get away with it.

Dittos to that.

Not as dangerous as a radical Islamic upbringing.

McCain should punch Harkin in the nose.

Sad ,when”Ace” McCain's mediocre military career is the reason that he's going to get my vote.

Thanks...

Damn the torpedo's Johnny ... full speed ahead ... and under.

McCain wanted these Marxist socialists, while openly shunning the Constitutional conservatives.

He better be able to swim, because his "Straight Talk Express" is taking on water.

Harkin: "Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous."

He says that like it's a bad thing.

[Thermalseeker]

He says that like it's a bad thing.

Harkin's take on the military is so bad that he's had to embellish and lie about his own military record on several occasions in laim attempts to gain votes......

Iowa, it's about time you sent Mr. Harkin home.....

Harkin’s starring in his own movie: “Wings Over Hanoi.”
