You’re spitting in the eye of every honorable American soldier.

Somethings are true whether you like it or not. This is one of them.

And, I repeat: There is NO justification for harming our soldiers as part of your political tantrum. Shame on you!

Johnny Mac doesn't care enough to do what needs to be done to get info from captured soldiers. Nor have I heard a peep out of him about the fact that the chinese are supplying weapons that are used to kill our soldiers.

Go to hell. Sell out republican ass kisser. McCain will see to it that our guys have no country to come back to. Illegal lover, Globull warming believer, CFR supporter, Gitmo hater, Ted Kennedy coddler, Hillary Clinton loving, non waterboarding wimp. Traitor. I served did you?

I’m sorry, but you’re wrong, FRiend. As a vet myself, I understand the difference between strategic and tactical decisions, and I can see that the tactical decision to support McCain is a strategic blunder.

Yours is just another variation of the “the other guy/gal is worse” arguments, and it is unpersuasive in light of the actual record of McCain. McCain has already ceded the military tribunals for Gitmo prisoners, where national security secrets may be able to be kept secret without freeing dangerous illegal combatants. Instead, he wants to move these pukes to Leavenworth (where I live, by the way) and grant them free and open civil trials under the rights guaranteed to American citizens by the US Constitution.

He derides waterboarding as “torture”, and proclaims that he can stand a little abridgement of the first amendment for “clean government”.

You can disagree with someone’s principles and their stand to support them, but the insidious attempts to shame someone into abandoning their principles is truly the definition of chutzpah.
