“No matter how I feel about John Mccain, he is a war hero and he has made sacrifices for our country and our freedom abouve and beyond. He is due respect, he has earned it.”
McCain deserves the same respect as Benedict Arnold. He was a war hero once too.

Avatar Ad: “Outrageous Offense to John McCain”
John McCain: Outrageous offense to conservatives everywhere.
Treason. Unfairly convicted on and reprimanded for two misdemeanor counts of dereliction of duty, Arnold was disgraced at the hands of men he blamed for corrupting the Revolution.
I looked up some history on Benedict Arnold. Like McCain, it’s more sad than anything. The way I see it, McCains daughter is doing more damage to him than anyone else ever could. Why not be above it?
I’m above it.
I’m not bovvered.

Am I bovvered?
I’m above it.
I would just like to see them stand on the issues without ripping each other apart. Aren’t you sick of these types of campaigns? Besides, if we use this type of campaigning against the Dems they will eat us alive. No one can run dirtier than them. No one.
Arizona is not Massachusetts. They are much tougher out west. McCain is a pompous ass, and 160 pounds of dynamite with a short fuse. As for the war hero crap. We gave him his due, now do we have to keep playing that freaking game for the rest of his life?

Why so bitter?
I never thought that I would see anyone on this site put the words “war hero” and “crap” together, for any reason.
I rather like this style of campaigning. The only ones I hear begging for it to stop are the pols that are dirty.

OK, crap was a bad word. Let’s use garbage instead. John McCain was a POW. Repeat POW. And if you read the seminal book “P.O.W.” very little was written about him, but much was made of others who are now long forgotten. Which reminds me, when General Jonathan Wainright returned from captivity he was met by MacArthur. Wainright, who was a walking stick-figure was ashamed, and felt that he had let his commander down. MacArthur embraced him and told him that his surrender was no disgrace. Wainright was a great man. He never sought the use of “hero”, and actually eschewed it. Now that was heoism.
Yes ~ makes more sense.
You’re wrong...while he is running,he should be respected for his actions as a politician.
Do you live in Arizona? Because the person running a dirty campaign — even before JD declared — was McCain... as to him being some sort of God because he was a POW, well... what about his efforts to stop the search for other MIA’s in Vietnam once he became senator?
I guess you guys are just looking at this politically, but try as I may, I just can’t. Maybe the issue is too personal for me to see it as stritly political. My husband is Air Force, My Dad a WWII Marine. I can’t help looking at McCain and thinking about my dad. He was injured in Okinawa and struggles with walking, but is still as tough as nails (to him pain is good, it means you are alive). I see how much he gave in the name of his country, and I can’t just put it aside.
Maybe you guys are right, but my opinion is obviously bias (I guess it always will be) :(
