I think it is being too generous to call him a great American.
Great American? Tell that to his fellow POWs.
He’s not a Republican either.
Of course he's a Republican. But the Republican Party is not a conservative party.
About the nicest thing I can say about him.
John McCain is a great patriot for the country of his loyalties: Mexico.
My father was in Vietnam.
He’s more of a “Great American” than McAmnesty could ever hope to be. After the war, he came home and went to work every day. He didn’t turn into a media whore, based on his last name.
Still glad this loser lost in 2008.
Somebody said McCain was the only POW to gain weight in captivity.
Great American? The guy who almost sank a US aircraft carrier? Yeah, right!
Why is he a great American? If he didn’t have a admiral father, he would have flunked out of the Naval Academy. And btw, what really happened on the USS Forrestal, and did he really violate protocols the day he was shot down? There I said it.
‘John McCain: Great American. Lousy senator. Terrible Republican.’
And Hippocratic a$$ki$$ing politician.
I think I’m with you on that. He’s done just as much damage to this nation in many ways as dems.
Thank God for our freedom of opinion. I only agree with you on one point; he’s a terrible republican.
A leopard can’t change its spots. I consider the rumors of his collusion with the Cong that followed him back to the States. Then as a point of reference I evaluate his performance from then until now....a backstabbing, rat faced, glad-handing turncoat Rino who chose a pair of ‘Rats, Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold to team up with rather than Republican “team mates”.
The cherry on top was leaving Sarah Palin helpless, bruised and bleeding from numerous wounds when the sharks in the media and on HIS OWN STAFF turned and attacked her, never saying so much as one mumbling word in her defense or on her behalf.
Therefore, I can’t help concluding that since he MAJORED in that stuff back here; he at least minored in it in Viet Nam. He’s a rat fink scumbag in my book. IMHO, naturally.
Not to put too fine a point on it, bit I think the word you want is hypocritical.
Poor old Hippocrates probably wouldn’t like being mentioned in the same sentence as that stereotypical political BS artist McCain.
...Deadly dangerous pilot.
Or to those who had to put out the fire on the Forrestal inch by inch. Left out of the description is that this reverse ace was a not very good or competent pilot.
Whatever “greatness” he had has been long used up. It’s time for him to do that “shuffling” thing.
Had the NVA realized exactly whom they had captured, they would have released him immediately. He was much more valuable to their cause while flying for us.
