According to McCain, the American people do not have the right to challenge him on any topic, because he was a POW. McCain himself is now playing the POW card, something the media routinely claimed he despised in others.

McCain is over-using his former POW status to deflect any and all discussion of any topic, even those topics totally unrelated to his POW experience.
How is McCain's former POW status related to the fact that he can't remember how many homes he owns? How is his wife's father being a Vet somehow exonerate McCain from the hypocrisy of accusing Obama of being an elitist when McCain's is the far richer of the two?
What is not a mystery is the fact that McCain will continue to use his former POW status to deflect questions about any topic. Will Americans accept this tactic, or reject it?-

Ya that’s why the Dems wanted McCain to be VP in 04!
Why do you think the Dems have been PRAISING McCain since he’s been in the Senate!
That’s why the Dems were begging McCain to be ion THEIR ticket in 04!
McCain’s infallibility, untouchable, bulletproof, and a genius is a product of the DEMOCRAT Machine!
Congratulations! Fools you made John McCain! -

I will be out of the country on election day I have not applied for an absentee ballot because this will be the first election of any kind that I will not vote in since 1961.

I do not want it on my conscious that I had anything to do with putting either of the "presumptive" candidates in office
I only hope I have a country worth coming home to. -

Spade-How is this video any better than the crap put out about Obama's mother? A bunch of you people, libs or whatever, were eager to jump on Ani, and correctly so, but then turn around and do the same thing. I guess it's true, nothing changes in politics, same dirty confrontational bunch of lies on both sides. I can not wait until this election is over, no matter who wins.

“KERRY & McCAIN VS. BUSH & CHENEY: CHOICE IN NOVEMBER
(Registered voters)
Independent voters, too, move to the Kerry/McCain ticket: 51% of them support Kerry over Bush, while 57% would back a Kerry/McCain ticket.
Views of McCain
Among those voters who have an opinion or know of John McCain, opinions of the Senator are overwhelmingly favorable. 46% say they have a favorable view of McCain, while just 9% are unfavorable. Independents hold the most favorable views. Republican voters, meanwhile, are more likely than Democrats to view the Senator in a negative light: 16% of them do, compared to just 4% of Democrats and 8% of Independents.”

It's bizarre to think that because someone was a POW they know anything about foreign policy, or would have the ability to conduct it in a rational manner. People who use that as a determination of fitness for the presidency are thinking like irrational children. And I find it pitiful that McCain uses his POW status to somehow make himself 'special' and above all others. It's creepy! I'm truly sorry for anyone who went through being a POW, but I'm not going to idolize them & give them some mythical status!

And stop calling Old Man McCain "Old Man McCain..."

A guy can forget how many houses he has or if he is for or against torture.
Remember the last old guy we had in the office of the President was the same with Alzheimer's as he was without it... -

I was a POW so I have every right to attack minorities, minimum wage, troop funding, veteran care, and the middle class.

How dare anybody question my record or how I will act as President, I was a POW.
John McCain
P.S. Please do not mention how my staff and fellow Republicans attacked a decorated war hero in 2004 or how they attacked me for being a POW in 2000. -

If being a POW is the qualifying factor in this presidential election, there are probably thousands of men out here that qualify, many of them are homeless and need a nice place to live, why not give one of them a free four year lease to the WH?

As far as education, McCain didn't get a lot out of his, graduating 894 out of 899 is shameful but someone had to be last in the class. Apparently there are many Americans who prefer to be smarter than the president, they certainly have a desire for the dumbest ones they can find. -

Lessee here. He's the son of an Admiral who was a son of an Admiral. He graduated 894 out of 899. He crashed 5 jets in training. He was over ranked for his position in the squadron. I don't have a problem with him getting shot down. Hanoi was the toughest nut to crack. He was NOT promoted like other POW's His records are sealed. He was against torture before he was for it. He was for campaign finance reform before he started breaking his own law. He has shown repeatedly that he has a bad memory.

A pattern is here to be seen. This is a bottom feeder who has no moral fortitude. He is the same now as he was then.-

Funny how some things never change, isn't it?
He wasn't competent then and he isn't competent now.
I'd be willing to bet bet his daddy got him through the classes, just like daddy Bush got GW posted to the stateside duty he was gifted with.
First we get Bush whacked, then McCained? WTF is wrong with Americans today?
Have we forgotten all the POW's who suffered greatly and have never been recognized. McCain was a POW yes. I knew a few who came home who got a little help for the publicity then were shamefully ignored.
McCain scares the hell out of me!!!!! He is Dinky Dao # 10. -

LMAO, hahahahhaahaaaaaa.
OK I'm reporting myself, I don't believe in the war, Bush or his freaking insane plans.
McCain or Bush or both combined don't make a quarter of a true American president. But see we haven't had a real president since Kennedy.
He didn't take any crap, and he knew how to control things in a propper manner.
I'm sorry McCain was taken as a prisoner of war. That doesn't give him the right to make America a prisoner of four more years of insanity.
Besides whoever he has running as his VP will get the job. You don't really think they will allow McCain to remain in office do ya?
This is just another trick to get a neocon in the whitehouse for four more years. I didn't capitalize whitehouse because Bush has made it a house of shame and horror.
No!!!!!!!! To McCain and the neocon con artists. The real threat to worldwide stability is the nut and his bag of friends in the whitehouse now, and the former POW who thinks being a POW makes him eligble to become the POTUS.
Dinky Dao # 10 scary as hell that is McCain.-

Kennedy? Which version? The racist? The crime fighting anti-mobster whose family fortune was made as bootleggers? The womanizer? The war hero who failed to have a night watch posted and let his PT boat be rammed and sunk? BTW-he performed admirably, after he screwed up.

The Republicans forget that when MCCain ran against Bush in the 2000 election, Bush's people accused him of colaborating with the North Vietnamese enemy while he was a POW.

If Bush is so truthful then I guess they are voting for a traitor now, huh?? -

Isn't it so easy to fall back to this position for some. People say, "Since I don't know much about this war stuff, why not put a war veteran in there? They should be able to keep us safe" Utter contempt for knowledge is what it is.

I think the opinion of the folks that served this country may be worth listening to.
Reply
I think this page is pretty well represented by such folks.
I count Not2Needy.
I read somewhere that folks that where POW's where assigned a person to help them with indecisions.
I have no problem honoring McCain's service, and still find plenty of reasons not to vote for him.
It would be cool to kick his ass without getting muddy.
The current administration has not met the desires of folks that are truly conservative.
Spending is no longer a Democrat fault.
It is understandable for a soldier to prefer that their commander in Chief to have shared their experience's. Yet, based on the folks talking here, it is not the most important one. -

I have a problem with hero worship in general. While I appreciate the service of those who serve, I've never understood why some believe that that service automatically qualifies them for sainthood or makes them somehow superior people deserving of special priveliges.

I don't think the service qualifies one for sainthood either.
Superior people deserving of special priveleges, well let me ask you what kind of country you think this would be without us?
You might not be alive if it weren't for those of us willing to fight for our country and it's freedoms.
You might be speaking German, Italian, Spanish, French, Japanese, Russian...
Get the picture.
Not hero worship, just respect and honor. Those are the special priveleges owed to every vet.
And the medical care to those who return damaged and in need of our assistance.
If you can't see that, you don't deserve to live in this country, nor enjoy the freedoms that were paid for with our fellow vets blood and sacrifice.
Go put your ass on the line and see if you don't want a little respect for it.
