Not Fit to Shine McCain's Boots

Sinkspur, I don't like her politics, but she did not interrupt McCain.

Her remarks were disrespectful. Had McCain wanted to return the favor, he could have said that Rohe would have to tie a rare steak and a bottle of wine to her butt to get a date.

[xzins]

He's a politician. She isn't.

[fish hawk]

Hey McCain, thanks for your service in Nam. For what you are doing now, I hope you get the worst crotch rash that has ever been. The one that can only be cured with a blow torch. Have a nice day.

--- Maybe I'm the only retard in the world that does not think that getting shot down because you suck as a pilot and surviving torture ranks as heroic in the same vein as what an Audey Murphy, George Patton or George Washington did in their heroics ---

If I could reach through the computer monitor and snap your neck with my bare hands... it would have been over the second you wrote that crap.

I would never vote for McCain, but McCain served with the highest honors and he has NEVER stood before the people of America and called our brave U.S. troops killers, as Kerry and Murtha have done.

You make me sick to my stomach. You are no different than a moonbat liberal, me, me, me....

Good evening.
"John McCain was a war hero."

What makes one a war hero? Plenty of soldiers do their duty and some go beyond duty. This weekend is supposed to honor those that gave it all.

The two Delta Force troopies that willingly gave their lives to try to save the downed Blackhawk crews in Mogadishu were certainly heroes.

Any warrior who gives his life for his brothers fits the bill, as does any soldier who tries to complete the mission even when there is no hope of success.

There have been many brave POWs who charlie miked even in the face of torture, sickness and despair and never gave up. They are damned sure heroes.

Does just serving make you one, no matter how brave you are? Do medals make you a hero? john kerry has those.

How about Murtha and kerry's buddy, Max Cleland?

McCain is labeled a hero and we are supposed to overlook the harm he does us because of it. Should we?

Disagree with his politics, mistrust his shifting political alliances, but no one who's benefited from the tortured sacrifices he made at the Hanoi Hilton should question his integrity. How can we, whole in body and strangers to the hell he experienced, challenge this patriot? To do so indicates a fundamental inhumanity.

I would not challenge him in that disrespectful way. I show my feelings at the ballot box. I fear that politics and power have accomplished what years of torture could not, he has been compromised.

[avacado]

And your service to this country has been what? No need to answer. I already know. Nothing.

[LibLieSlayer]

I really have come to see through McLame. I do not like the man or his politics (JMHO).

Since he is a Republican (although moderate to liberal) he deserves to be treated with a certain level of decorum.

I cannot support any anti-American, leftist POS ever insulting one of us... even a Rino. Even Rino's are above those bottom feeders!

Yeah, I guess he became a disabled vet from falling off his chair while sitting at the computer, like you are, huh? Looks like you don't know squat.

[trubluolyguy]

But does he support the whole War on Terror, including what we have to do about Iran?

---

Depends on which side of the issue he thinks he'll need to be on to get more votes, or to stab his contemporaries in the back.

[edpc]

Interesting.......

If you do a search for McCain on Wikipedia, you are redirected to French traitor Henri Phillipe Petain.

[trubluolyguy]

I will have a very difficult time voting for him - even against Hillary.

---

I'll vote for the open borders puke the day his supporters on FR have to go sprinkle rock salt where HELL FROZE OVER.

[trubluolyguy]

For too many on this thread, this is about McCain's politics, so it's OK for him to be dissed by a snot-nosed little twerp who probably cries when she breaks a nail.

---

He's an open borders POS. He is getting the respect he deserves.

[brazzaville]

Good evening.

You don't know squat, FRiend. I gave up my youth for the country when I was 17 and I'm still paying for it.

I lurped for two years and was an adviser to RF/PF for another nine months. What's your story?

I asked a valid question and you asked a stupid question. Now try to answer my question in a civilized manner or shut up.

Does McCain deserve more respect than we give to anyone who risks his life for us?

She later apologized to McCain who accepted the apology.


In that case, it's hard for me not to believe all this was just a planned publicity stunt for Mr. McCain.



I try not to be that cynical. McCain was in town to raise money from the Park Avenue crowd, which he did during a "meet and greet" at a hoity-toity hotel.

I tend to believe that neither Kerrey nor McCain understood the depth of hostility there is to Republicans in NYC among certain groups. To get an approximate idea, you have to think of how many Conservatives view either Clinton.

[sinkspur]

He's an open borders POS. He is getting the respect he deserves.

Get on your knees before you go to bed tonight and be glad that there are men like McCain willing to sacrifice themselves for your sorry ass.

I know I wouldn't do it.

[trubluolyguy]

"Get on your knees before you go to bed tonight and be glad that there are men like McCain willing to sacrifice themselves for your sorry ass."


I have no problem with JOHN McCains' service at all. That does NOT give JUAN McCain the right to sell my country out for votes for himself, parishioners for someones' church, and cheap labor for the business lobby.

"I know I wouldn't do it."

That's alright. I covered it myself.

[Logical me]

I think I should remember. Our withdrawal is a political sign of defeat. The entire conflict was a defeat because we were not allowed to take them out. It was a political war and because of the political withdrawal without defeating the VC, we LOST THE WAR! Call it whatever you want.

Maybe I'm the only retard in the world that does not think that getting shot down because you suck as a pilot

If you think only sucky pilots get shot down then,yes,
you are a retard.
Imagine flying an aircraft on a bombing run -
you hit your target or dodge like a puss to save your ass.

John McCain rejected early release, ahead of others, and
denied the Viet Cong a publicity coup. For his obstinacy
LCdr McCain had the hell beat out of him.

So until you have experienced combat flight I would suggest
you might want to reserve your comments to areas where
you won't look so ignorant.
