He voted with the swimmer every chance he got. He is a true democrats hero
And I certainly have problem with someone else trying to force me to accept their definition of one.

Have you forgotten the Keating Five?
McStain has squandered any goodwill as a result of his service.
And yes I will go there.
“Trump going after McCain’s military services though was uncalled for.”
Sadly the news media did not cover why Trump said what he said......they just act like he said it out of the blue.....when in fact Trump was saying it in response to Rino Mccain saying Trump supporters are “Crazies” http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jul/18/donald-trump-blasts-john-mccain-over-crazies-remar/
EXACTLY! McCain is a political RINO. But I have no patience for attacks on his military record by a draft dodging pro-abortion pro gun grabbing pro amnesty serial adulterer candy ass like Trump. The way he worded his comment was an attack on every POW. Trump is not fit to carry the seabag of newest recruit.
FUDT!
I WILL NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES VOTE FOR THIS OBNOXIOUS SELF AGGRANDIZING POLITICAL CHAMELEON!
Well poor bobby Kendal had to step in the pile of poo didn’t he. Just couldn’t help it. And I liked him too

If McCain didn’t Marry Rich and go into Politics, he would be no more than a Trivial Pursuit Question at best.
He would probably be one the Vets fighting the VA to get decent Care, something that McCain has never fixed and let occur for Years while serving in the Senate.
Trump pointed that out and it was the real basis for his attack on McCain. Not excusing the Foot and Mouth Disease.
Who are all the other POW’s that were in Vietnam? You could do a Jay Walking segment and 99% of the People asked couldn’t name a One. I’d bet on it.
Don’t worry, these aren’t Issues that the Hyena Media will let see a ray of sunshine. No sense fighting it here, it won’t make a damn bit of difference while the Hyena Media orders the Helm to hit Ludicrous Speed or Warp Nine depending on choice of Sci Fi entertainment.
And untrue.
Sharyl Attkisson: Washington Post Smeared Donald Trump; Misrepresented His Comments on John McCain
Who died and appointed McCain arbiter of sanity? Trump supporters are crazies, Ted Cruz & Co. are whacko birds, ..... I’m glad he amuses himself. He doesn’t amuse me.
OKAY! DO YOU FEEL BETTER NOW?
That was very kickass!!!
I am certainly not a fan of Trump, which has almost gotten to the point here on FR to make one a outcast, but John McCain has to show respect to get resect. How about he be the bigger man and appologies first?
McCain “Not Sorry” For Saying “Tea Party Hobbits” On Senate Floor
Thank me for my sacrifice and let it go at that.
A little... ;-)
Welcome to Free Republic. Don’t forget you meds.
That’s right. If they don’t want to hear the songs, then they shouldn’t feed dollars into the Trump jukebox and then complain.
What’s interesting to me is all the lefties lining up to defend this “conservative Republican”.
And I suspect a lot of them nodded approvingly to the lefty longhairs who “greeted” our returning Vietnam vets.
Give `em Hell Donald!
And what branch of the military did you serve in?
The War Secrets Sen. John McCain Hides
Former POW Fights Public Access to POW/MIA Files - Sydney SchanbergHurdles and limitations
Finally, in addition to these hurdles and limitations, the McCain act does not specifically order the declassification of the information. Further, it provides the Defense Department with other justifications for withholding documents. One such clause says that if the information “may compromise the safety of any United States personnel … who remain not accounted for but who may still be alive in captivity, then the Secretary [of Defense] may withhold that record or other information from the disclosure otherwise required by this section.”
Boiled down, the preceding paragraph means that the Defense Department is not obligated to tell the public about prisoners believed alive in captivity and what efforts are being made to rescue them. It only has to notify the White House and the intelligence committees in the Senate and House. The committees are forbidden under law from releasing such information.
McCain goes further to hurt future POWs...
Another bill gutted in 1996And then there is the Missing Service Personnel Act, which McCain succeeded in gutting in 1996. A year before, the act had been strengthened, with bipartisan support, to compel the Pentagon to deploy more resources with greater speed to locate and rescue missing men. The measure imposed strict reporting requirements.
McCain amended the heart out of the statute. For example, the 1995 version required a unit commander to report to his theater commander within two days that a person was missing and describe what rescue and recovery efforts were underway. The McCain amendments allowed 10 days to pass before a report had to be made.
