Scurrilous lies about McCain debunked

What lies - the one where he is accused of being a conservative? I never believed that one from the get go.

[McGruff]

Most here believe the McCain was a war hero. The few that don't just despise him in general.

That being said I despise John McCain for the way he has behaved in the past 8 years. Others have documented the facts. Don't ask me for proof.

"I will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. I want the presidency in the best way, not the worst way." John McCain - Feb 2000

People who write these stories act as if we have not been paying attention to John McCain the past dozen or so years.

I have felt complete disdain for John McCain since 1999.

“I wish I were half the man John McCain is.”

Warner and Ace McCain, the sparkling pilot in the CC bay,wish they too were half the man Jack Wheeler is.

[rogue yam]

I wish I were half the man John McCain is.

I believe that John McCain is not now the same man he was before the commies got ahold of him. If one ignores the events of 40 years ago and judges McCain by what he has done over the last 20 years there is very little there to describe as honorable or courageous.

[Perchant]

That’s why I stay out of the personal stuff, like McCain’s military record.

5 years of intensive communist indoctrination and trauma infliction is not a personal matter once the victim/student wants to become president.

[ElkGroveDan]

there was evidence that John McCain collaborated with the communists

[Tribune7]

It almost makes me want to vote for him.

I think it's safe to say he's a hero.

That may be more appropriate than my referring to him as the Ren Hoek of the United States Senate.

Anyone have any knowledge of the validity or fabrication of the following website? vietnam veterans against john mccain

I heard the site's main guy on the radio yesterday evening and this is the first I've been aware of such a concerted effort to bring McCain's POW record to the fore front. Perusing through this website, it appears these folks have been after McCain for a number of years.

I'm just curious about this. If there's even a hint that any of this is true, I can see McCain being swift-boated by the Dem's quicker than you can say John Kerry.

Rather than just calling it all BS, does anyone have any specific knowledge of this group?

[MEGoody]

I don't think it is a good strategy to attack McCain's service.

But I DO think it is a good idea to attack McCain on his liberalism and his lies.

[Palladin]

Good point.

The McCainiacs just don’t get it. FReepers didn’t like McCain in 2000. FReepers don’t like McCain in 2008.

They are wasting their time and efforts at this site.

“5 years of intensive communist indoctrination and trauma infliction is not a personal matter once the victim/student wants to become president.”

Absolutely. As someone who has endured PTSD, it is SO obvious in McCain. The difference between someone like him and someone like me, is I understand my limitations and don’t have the huge ego problem he does..

[svcw]

Amen brother, and that is why I will never vote for John McCain.

[San Jacinto]

I don't know about the Wheeler stuff, but I do know this:

There are no lies being told on McCain which are as big as the whoppers he tells about himself -- "I am conservative." "I will defend the borders." "I will appoint conservatives to the bench." etc etc

Whatever Naval officer John McCain did has no bearing on my decision not to vote for him. That was 40 years ago. My opinion of John McCain as a presidential candidate is based on what he has done since that time. Enough people have posted his record as Arizona Senator (as well as how he managed to get that position). In addition to that, he is an unstable man, who has neither the character nor the constitution required of the leader of the free world.

Apparently, the only supporting evidence he can provide for nomination to this high office are chits he has earned over his many years in Washington - favors owed him by fellow career congressmen. He somehow treats elevation to the presidency like a junior Naval officer would treat a command promotion; you put in your years, keep your nose clean, rub certain backs, and then expect to get your back rubbed at the appropriate time.

Sorry, I have a greater respect for the job of president.
