Makes one wonder why the GOP is still in any kind of power. McCain is in charge?
But he’s insane
We exalt him for having been shot down over VN, nothing more.
We don’t know what he did in prison.
I'm pretty sure you can be politically opposed to McCain without being disrespectful to veterans. McCain basically hung out in prison. By hung out, I mean his arms were bound behind his back and he was hung from them. To this day, he requires someone to comb his hair because he can't lift his arms over his head.
I think we know enough about what he did in prison to show a little respect and a little restraint. He is an erratically moderate republican senator which is common enough and certainly doesn't suggest that he did something nefarious while being tortured.
There are those who were POWs with McCain who weren’t happy with him. I’ve always believed the reason he said in his acceptance speech “They broke me” was because he thought obama was going to used something that he did against him.
I’ve always thought mccain was a phony and regret voting for him. Now it’s on my record.
“We don’t know what he did in prison.”
Too true, but worse, some of us are almost convinced that it wasn’t too honorable. That might help to explain much of his bizarre tenure in Congress.
Calling someone a “war hero” for being shot down and held prisoner is a bit like the current Nobel Peace Prize process.
We don’t know what he did in prison.
More importantly, we don’t know what was done to him by his COMMUNIST captors.
