I generally steer clear of McCain’s POW issue. Not everyone does, and some people aren’t too happy with John concerning some aspects of his POW days, or his military service in general.
What I do object to is folks who act as if his military service is pristine, and question how anyone could raise an issue concerning it. I think his military service is a question mark.
I don’t think we’ll ever know the complete truth regarding his military service. There are some things that do trouble me considerably about it.
Perhaps the biggest question mark related to it is how John lived his life before and after active military service. He was dishonorable before it. He was dishonorable after it. How in the sam hell can I think that John was honorable during one period in his life, when all the indicators are that he was a jackass all the other times?
John is a political pig. He wallows in the leftist ideological mud and seems to like it. He always goes back for more.
He is a person I cannot respect. I think his values are incredibly askew. I believe he has done damage to this nation, and I think he would love to do a lot more.
Getting him out of office at the earliest (legal) opportunity is in the nation’s best interest.
Well said, and I totally agree.
I have not respected John McCain since the 1992 POW/
MIA hearings that he shut down.
As more time passes, it becomes clearer to me that John McCain threw the election last year. The 2008 election was the most important fight of his life, and in typical McCain fashion, he threw it away.
He was given Sarah Palin, and Joe the Plumber, a neophyte Presidential opponent who was plainly a Marxist and an opposing Vice Presidential who is a first class idiot.
Even a financial crisis where he could have exerted leadership he completely blew.
McCain has been riding the wave of a reputation of mythic proportions. I have no illusions that he got as far as he did because of Dad and Granddad. A person who graduates second from last from Annapolis doesn’t get a stint as a pilot on a carrier, unless someone is pulling some serious strings.
Even his lukewarm and delayed defense of Sarah Palin when she was savaged after the election showed his lack of loyalty and class.
McCain needs to retire, and stop damaging the country he “loves” so much.
