Obama may not have been the one to step on the flag but he is the one that was refusing to wear a flag of the United States on his lapel and he was the one that refused to place his hand over his heart and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag. I believe that no one should be allowed to serve any kind of political office unless they have served in some kind of military branch for the United States of America.

More lies.

Besides -- What about all the armchair soldiers, NASCAR fans and drunken idiots that wear torn up, cut up bits of flags as clothing (such as shirts, 'flag' hats, et cetera)? Just as offensive in my book.
As for believing that no one should be allowed to serve in Political office unless they've served in the military -- ridiculous. Bush supposedly served in the Military and look where he got us. I served in the military and the majority of people below, say, E-7 are idiots. Wonderful, beautiful people, but not someone I'd want running anything.-

If I were Obama adviser I would tell him to let them talk about this you keep telling the American people how you are going to fix the economy and help them to get back on their feet after what the Republicans did to them!

Be dismissive of their behavior, keep hammering them with this, they are harping on things we all know are inconsequential to your well being, and things that have been proven to be non issues, they are doing this because they have nothing to offer that is substantiative, nothing to offer to fix the economy or Iraq...nothing to offer when it comes to the state of our beloved nation so they revert to name calling and lies!.

That's it?? It has come down to the wearing of flag pins. You do realize tammy24 that McCain didn't wear a flag pin during his acceptance speech or during the first debate, so it is kind of a ridiculous reason to consider ones qualifications. Our forefathers made it a point to put separation between the militias and government. Restricting political office only to ex-military is getting a little to close to "junta" style government.

it is my belief that the people saying that serving OUR country in the military is not a prerequisite for office are the same ones that do not have the heart or courage to defend the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic. I don't think that it should be mandatory but it should certainly be a major consideration. I believe these are the same people that do not serve in the peace corps or any other organization that helps defend our country in the eyes of the world and show them that not all we do is fight to defend our country. We also will help to defend their country if we are needed. Ask a Kuwaiti citizen how they feel about our help. Most of them have never been outside of the borders of their states let alone our country to see the good that we do in the world. hey are the ones that will sit at home and believe that everything the press prints is true. I wonder if the term YELLOW PRESS rings a bell with them? Just be ready to defend our country and your family when the extremists begin fighting the Jihad here. It won't be pretty and you will have to get out of your SUV and show some backbone.

You get props for naming the greatest...but one slight error on Lincoln. Lincoln served in a minor role during the Black Hawk War. I don't remember if it was a state militia or no, but it still qualifies as military service. Ol' Lincoln was a man for his times, and a man in his time. He advised against a war with Mexico because he didn't feel we had any "...truck with greasers". Lol! Please excuse the bluntly incorrect language, they were Lincoln's words, reflecting the idiom of the times. Lincoln had flaws. All of my heroes do...and that's what makes them so special.

There is a difference between not doing something and refusing to do something. Did/do all the other candidates wear a flag pin all the time? I bet I can find all kinds of pictures of McCain without a flag pin. As far as the pledge of allegiance goes, take a look at the two videos at the bottom of the page at this link, and put your mind at rest. He does, indeed, put his hand over his heart during its recital.
