McCain POW Cellmate Talks About the Toughness of John McCain - Video 8/26/08
Blogs for John McCain | August 26, 2008 | brianinmo

Democrats have decided in their infinite wisdom that John McCain should not speak of his 5 1/2 years in captivity as a POW. It's as if they believe they have a right to decide when a man can talk about his own life. But it is his life -- and it is not their right to decide.

Now some of John McCain's fellow POWS are speaking out on his behalf. Here is a video report about one of the men who went through the nightmare of captivity alongside John McCain - literally. Col. Orson Swindle shared a cell with McCain for 18 months. In this interview, he speaks of the toughness of John McCain and why he believes McCain must be elected the next President . . . (see video)

Some 527 or other McCain supporting outfit really must take this man’s testimony and put it on the air. No comment, no request—Just this is John McCain.

McCain should make a deal with the Democrats: He’ll STOP talking about his past acts of heroism if Obama STARTS talking about Wright, Rezko and Bill Ayers.

The Dems should be ecstatic about this! McCain has been "swiftboated"!!

I mean, he has been, hasn't he? Men who served with him in Viet Nam stepping forward to discuss his conduct and character- isn't that what the Swiftboat guys did? However, it seems that his conduct and character was significantly different than that of John Kerry.
