Former President Carter: McCain ‘Milking’ POW Experience (BARFAROOSKI!)
FOXNews.com ^ | August 28, 2008 | FOXNews Staff

Former President Jimmy Carter said Thursday that John McCain is “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, USA Today reported Thursday.

Carter focused on McCain’s interview earlier this month with author and pastor Rick Warren at his parish, the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. McCain used every question, whether it was about religion, domestic or foreign affairs, to talk about his five-and-a-half years as a POW, Carter claimed.

“John McCain was able to weave in his experience in a Vietnam prison camp, no matter what the question was,” Carter, a 7-year Naval officer, told the paper. “It’s much better than talking about how he’s changed his total character between being a senator, a kind of a maverick at the time, and his acquiescence in the last few months with every kind of lobbyist pressure that the right wing Republicans have presented to him.”

Karter is a contemptible, leftist, pro-abortionist disgrace to this nation.

(But then all Democrats and their Republicrat Rino allies are a disgrace as well!)

Reminds me of the joke about the drill sergeant yelling and berating his troops. He storms up to one young man and yells directly in his ear, “I know you hate me! I don’t give a damn. I WANT you hate me! I want you to hate me so bad that you take a blood oath to find me after you’re out of the service and kill me in the slowest and most painful way you can! You know you do, go ahead and admit it!!!!!”

The young man replies, “NO SIR!”. The sergeant’s response is, “Don’t you lie to me, boy!” Without hesitation, the young man responds, “My blood oath is that once I’m out of service I’ll NEVER do anything that makes me stand in a long line!”

Reading this reminds me of how awful cancer is.

Why did Billy Carter have to die from cancer? Why could it not have been Billy's stupid brother who was the worst President in my lifetime?

Jimmy Carter stinks. I don't care how many houses he builds for poor folks. He still stinks.

He's just projecting; Carter's been getting milked by about every terrorist head of state there is.

I can't believe they named a sub after this clown. (How can there be a Jimmy Carter class submarine, when he has no class at all?)

this isn't quite on topic but I would like some help/info on the attacks that have been made against McCain for his POW time. Especially in this interview. I have no intention of swallowing the Vietnam Veterans Against McCain line whole and am not trying to attack him myself, I just haven't been able to find much outside perspective on the issue.
McCain's own accounts show him violating the Code of Conduct to some degree (under duress) but is there any real evidence of serious collaboration? Any truth to the accusations that he's trying to block publication of any documents that might contradict his own account (the only one available for most of his captivity)? What of McCain's kind words for Kerry? his condemnation of the Swift Boat Vets? Is this being taken seriously by conservatives? Are there reasons that it shouldn't be?
If anyone has links or cares to educate me by FReepmail, I'd much appreciate it.

This liver lipped loser left the Navy because he wasn’t going to get promoted. He was as big of an asshole then as he is now and he will be an a-hole as long as he has one. His military experience is the reason he still hates the military and another reason he is the rotten human he is.

Jimmy Carter doesn’t have one single thing he can milk, unless you count his legion of failures.

Actually, he does. He is milking having been president. If he hadn't been (the worst ever) president of the United States, no one would listen to the old fool.
