Do you guys have anything on the ball other than accusing people of working for McCain any time someone says he’s not the Anti-Christ? Really?

Even Mark freakin’ Kirk voted against the Bridge to Nowhere.

While I doubt that bridge was really worth the cost, the concept of a bridge connecting an airport to the nearest town hardly seems unreasonable (previously people flying into the airport would have had to use a ferry). I wonder why the media never mention the airport?

No one “allowed” Obama to win.

While it's possible that nothing McCain could have done would have prevented an Obama victory, he did a number of things that I would say did "allow" Obama to win. He said Obama would make a good President, and Americans should have nothing to fear about an Obama Presidency. To my ear, that sounds like McCain was throwing the election. Do you disagree?

I don't care if its the local drunk running against McCain, he must be voted out of office.

Reelecting him would send precisely the wrong message to the GOP leadership.

They would see his reelection as evidence that RINO's are the way to go.

The GOP needs to get the message that if you screw over conservatives - you lose your seat.

So, that justifies McCain being such a hysterical, posturing and disloyal conservative, and the ridiculous self-justifying incumbent-protecting McCain-Feingold?

See, this is the hysterical crap that's making you look silly. Where did MM say McCain was a great guy? Where did he say that McCain was justified in any of those things? You didn't even argue with his premise. I'm not sure he's correct, but shouldn't you, and expert on the Keating Five, be sure? You just immediately decided that saying McCain was screwed on that deal is the same as saying he's perfect and we should all kiss his butt. Talk about McCain Derangement Syndrome. Get. A. Grip.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Inigo. He'll make sense of your remark.

Bennett, a shameless Dem hack lawyer who you may recall from L'Affaire Lewinsky, told the ethics committee there was no evidence that justified investigating McCain, but they went forward anyway so that there would be a Republican on the hook. You are to the left of Bennett on this issue. Deal with it.

I did not say you were “freaking out”. Although you maybe right. What I said was, you were touchy and acting like a 12 year old by posting juvenile trash. Hitting a couple raw nerves will do that.

Look, you used the word dishonorable first and you used it wrongly. It was entirely misplaced. I wasn’t misinformed and stated so in no uncertain terms. The fact you ignored my original post in order to wrongly cast aspersions, in what can only be seen as a defense of McCain, remains the true dishonorable act.

You said it, therefore it is true. Cool. I hope you're using that godlike power for good, and not evil.

I know. I stand by my statement.

"Do you even know what happened?"

Yes, I have read several accounts of McCain's ordeal as a POW. Yes, my comparison was very insensitive because I am so angry with him! He has disappointed me in so many areas, I could write a book listing them. I am hoping that if he does make a 180 degree change in his progressive political philosophy soon, that a candidate does emerge and does take him to task. A man so stubborn and blind to what he has caused needs to experience the consequences.

John McCain was a hero to his country as a POW. What has happened to him? Has he sold out or given up the fight? Why has he not shown that courage and backbone to fight for those principles that secure freedom for our future generations? Why I ask.

Is that the best you can do? LOL

What I am doing is exposing posters like YOU who defend McCain, for the dishonorable jackasses you all are.

I neglected to attribute the link from which the McCain POW info came.
Thanks to Socalpol for posting.

As for your response, jonrick46, have we become so desensitized by film and TV drama and fake depictions of POWs that the real thing means nothing?
Would you have lasted even 5 days or 5 hours, let alone 5 1/2 YEARS under McCain’s conditions?

His honorable military experience should remain COMPLETELY SEPARATE from his political career, which is more than fair game.

You words are well taken. I’m sorry I misspoke. I got carried away. I still give John McCain my great honor for what he gave for our Nation.

Is everyone who defends McCain a dishonorable jackass?

And before you hit the "Post" button, it would be nice if you would heed the message below it: Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

You stepped in the middle of a personal fight that you obviously know nothing about and which goes well beyond the one reply you reference. Following rules is for everyone.

Should everyone who points out flaws in an article be called dishonorable or misinformed? Some posters are lazy and get caught lying through their teeth. I'm not about to stand around and be disparaged by anyone.

Btw, McCain is no friend of FRee Republic.

I don't care about the details of your personal fight, but by posting it on the forum, you have made it everybody's business. What concerns me is that calling a fellow Freeper a jackass is the sort of personal attack that is frowned upon on this forum. Please confine your personal fights to Freepmail.

Obviously the facts mean nothing to you. You'd rather whine and cry and complain. LOL

You can ignore posts you don't like and simply move along. Truth is, you chose to make it YOUR business.

Debating in FReepMail is for cowards.

Your one-man anti-Hayworth vendetta is very suspicious.

One most certainly does--the fact tht you called all McCain defenders dishonorable jackasses. That sort of comment is beneath the dignity of Free Republic.

You've certainly made it the business of every McCain defender.

You'd rather whine and cry and complain. LOL

I would rather see civil discourse and rational arguments as opposed to name-calling and personal insults. FR used to pride itself on being above the flame wars found on other sites--or at least it did a few years ago when I first joined.
