A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty »
Posted By berkeley 1 year, 3 months ago in Political NewsA t Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It's the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed him from a callow and reckless youth into a serious man of patriotism and purpose. Walking along the grounds at Fort McNair, McCain runs into John Dramesi, an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was also imprisoned and tortured in Vietnam.

I really liked the article ... one of the clearest presentations of McCain's character.

I liked how it filled in some of the gaps ... because, I knew much of this about John McCain already.
John's behavior in his personal life is so reprehensible ... he could ONLY be nominated by the Republican Party.
Because the Republican Party has become the Party of Moral Compromise. Oh how time changes things.
When I was growing up ... Republicans were staid, correct, reserved, fiscal conservatives ... ... ... ... ... and Democrats were free wheeling free spenders.
Today ... ... ... Republicans are free wheeling free spenders ... prone to immoral and ethical compromises ... and complete incompetents at managing government ... ... and a freakish adherence to a twisted Neo-Conservative Ideology.
And .. .. .. .. who knew . .. .. .. Democrats are effective Government Managers ... ... ... who actually balance the budget!!!
Nothing is as Constant as Change.

So John the "save me first" McCain thinks he is deserving of the Presidency. LMAO hahahahahahaaa.

Yeah he is deserving of the presidency of the lunatics club. He is gross distortion of all the excesses and lies he has made into propaganda for himself.
I see why he left his wife. He was just being true to himself.
He'll never out do his father or grandfather no matter what position he achieves. Because he does not have the same discipline nor devotion to duty.
Voting for this guy is like voting for the devil. You know you are going to get evil and destruction. Look at the past and you see his future.
Sarah Palin said say it aint so Joe to Joe Biden. Say it isn't true Sarah that you who claim to be a conservative Christian can even stomach having this guy around you when you know in his mind he has already undressed you.
No to McLiar and Pale liar too. -

There are several definitions of “Maverick” in the dictionary. I think this one best suits Senator McCain:
Reply
“1. An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.”
Without the support of his influential father and grandfather Senator McCain wouldn’t be where he is today. However, his quest to be an independent man was realized when he met Cindy. -

I've heard enough from the self proclaimed maverick and straight talker. He's a shallow shell of human being and would have never made it into or through the academy if were not for his father. Like GWB, he has earned nothing on his own initiatives. Sucking off others is what this man does best. Those who choose to be deceived by this product of political marketing will remain in his corner until doomsday.

John McCain's record of voting on Bills for veterans shows that he has no business representing our country as President. He opposed nearly every Bill that would have benefited all who have sacrificed so much for our country. If all that I have read about him is even close to being true , he should be ashamed.

HE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND AND DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR VOTE. Our veterans deserve better from their country and the people who say that they have their best interest at heart.
