I don’t buy it.
I’ll have some , please sir.
“I don’t buy it.”
I do...
John Sidney McCain III Traitor pure and simple.
Yeah, I get a lot of that whenever I point out to folks here in AZ that he's not that well spit-shined. Only they usually yell it in my face and call me a Democrat or something.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
You are, of course, entitled to your own opinion. Unfortunately, facts are stubborn things, and Shanberg is telling the truth. And, it's not anything new. He researched and reported on this way back in the '90s.
This subject has been covered extensively here on FR and should be in the archives. There are even a few of us here who watched aghast in real time in 1993 as McCain and John Kerry on the Senate Select Committee on POWs/MIAs sabotaged and torpedoed the efforts of the families of the missing men to get our government to make an honest attempt to demand an accounting of their loved ones.
I always give John McCain credit for his personal bravery and suffering as a POW, but I also will never forget that whatever honor he accrued for that service he cravenly tossed aside when he betrayed those that were left behind.
It's irrelevant what you or I believe - McCain will get away with it in this life. His problem, however, is that he's going to one day face a higher court and a Judge before whom all equivocations, rationalizations and lies are moot. I pity him.
You should hear what B-1 Bob has to say about McCain.
It seems prison camp is where he perfected the practice of tossing others under the bus.
You can buy it or not, but it is the truth.
Search the fR archives for similar threads.
John McCain led the charge to cover up our missing POWs/MIAs.
We knew in 1973 we did not get everyone back, only about 50-60%.
By 1992, McCain and Kerry oput the kabbash on the investigation.
And McCain threw the 2008 election.
So screw him. Hero, my eye.
Unfortunately, it is true. We don’t absolutely know how many POWs and MIAs were still alive at the time, but it is true that McCain used his reputation as a heroic POW to cover it up and open relations with Communist North Vietnam, as a way of furthering his career.
I followed it very carefully at the time it happened. It was totally disgusting. As I have sometimes said, when not keeping my mouth shut during the McCain-Palin campaign, it was the single worst thing he ever did. He betrayed his fellow POW-MIAs.
Why? Because the higher political powers wanted a credible hero to lead this effort, and McCain happily went along with them—much as he has done every since on other issues such as McCain-Feingold and McCain-Kennedy.
