I greatly respect his service and sacrifice, one vet to another.

That said....he needs to give this a rest. JMHO.

I have no interest in returing to jail cells I spent time in. Of course that might be different if there were some usefull purpose in doing so.

"Did you eat in the cell?" asked Klobuchar, a Democrat who, along with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, is on the Asian tour with McCain.
Aw, c'mon now.
With all of today's medical knowledge, they still can't find a way to separate Lindsey from McInsane's butt?!?

There HAS to be a surgeon someplace who would volunteer.
Even if it's experimental, give it a try already.

John McCain was one of the pioneers in our anti-missile defense program.

ROTFL! Now that was funny!

With apologies to the Eagles:

Welcome to the Hotel Hanoi Hilton
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis ...

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
‘Relax,’ said the night man,
‘We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!’

Absolutely. And he has been an even more effective visionary and leader in the dismantling of the US Constitution and First Amendment, the destruction of our national sovereignty, and providing the game-winning hand-off assist (a little Final Four analogy for my Tar Heels!) last year to the team which will complete the destruction of the Republic and launch America into the new order of a third-rate impoverished socialist paradise.

Yes, he's been a true pioneer in so very many ways...

Did He Stay????
By the way did you know that John McCain was a POW in Vietnam and John Kerry was also was in the Navy and served in Vietnam? Wait John Kerry served in the Senate and took a ride on the front of a boat in Boston Harbor. BY the way did you know that John McCain was a POW in Vietnam?

This is starting to get old. Just how many times does he plan to lug Lindsay Graham back to that cell?

I only wish McCain would help the rest of us get out of the Liberal’s jail cell.
