Yes, he not only screwed up his comrades while imprisioned, he screwed up a lot of old people with Keating and lately he screwed up millions of Americans trapped in the evil Obamacareless mess!!!

How vile can one man get and still be praised by liberals and leftists on every front???

Actually I thought being vile was sort of a prerequisite for gaining the praise of leftists.

Well, come to think of it, I'm not too sure...

By the way, if you're in a bunker under SF, how come your home message board is AZ???

By the way, I saw part of a documentary on PBS's "Frontline" show last night and from the little I watched they really hung all his dirty laundry right out there for everyone to see!!!

Yet they had one liberal Dem commenting as an apologist for lump-jaw after each and every segment presented... I can't help wondering why they showed that before Juan McLame was even inturd and the flags re-erected?

A fallen hero that’s getting coverage that rivals and even eclipses some Presidents.

I’ve relocated. I took all the CA I could take and bailed. I’m retired and I’ve traded the bunker for a suburban house with really good air con. and the company of my favorite Austrian traveling companion - which I couldn’t legally carry in CA.

Can anyone explain why a POW is considered a hero?

Can anyone explain how a pilot who crashed a number of fighter jets & crashed on an aircraft carrier, killing dozens of sailors & causing dozens of fighter jets to be pushed overboard due to burning debris can be called a hero?

He will NEVER be a hero to me. NEVER

He didn’t. He’s most likely referring to the Forrestal fire which McCain had nothing to do with other than being there when it happened. It’s become an urban legend that he caused it but it’s not true.

I wish people would quit repeating it as fact. I’m not a McCain fan but repeating falsehoods is petty and serves no purpose other than slander him.
