John McCain, Unfit To Serve As Commander In Chief

If McCain keeps slamming us conservatives (like he did Cunningham yesterday with this political correctness crap)

McCain did the right thing. We can't be making personal attacks ad nausea for the next nine months, the presidential candidate is above that.

Perhaps down the pike, the RNC, Coulter or vice presidential candidate could light a few sparks along the way.

It's all about doing the right thing rather than what feels good.

[stockstrader]

You obviously have never been to a campaign rally. Cunningham did EXACTLY what they asked him to do.

Again, if McCain thinks he does not need the base--I wish him all the luck in the world.

[duckln]

Cunningham did what he always does and so did McCain. I don't fault either. But Cunningham over reacted, doesn't have a very thick skin IMO. He could have laughed it off, but instead, cries, bad mouths, and takes his ball and goes home.

McCain is under a lot of pressure, considering what happen to Allen (macaca) and Lott (Thurm remark). Let's cut him a little slack.

[stockstrader]

Cunningham didn't overreact,,,McCain did!!! If McCain hadn't of 'cut Cunningham off at the knees',,,,Cunningham's words would have NEVER been newsworthy. Again, his job was 'red meat' to fire up the troops. He did what he was asked to do,,and said nothing wrong.

McCain apologizes for Cunningham,,,,yet McCain has YET to demand an apology from B.Hussein Obama for Hussein's daily, BLATANT lies about McCain "100 Year WAR" comment? Unbelievable.

With a 'powder puff' like McCain running against someone who plays HARDBALL like Obama,,,,McCain will lose BIG TIME.

Enjoy President B. Hussein Obama.

[SoldierDad]

Do what you will. I’ll do what I know is right.

[duckln]

Enjoy President B. Hussein Obama.

Some polls have McCain ahead of Obama. If he loses, it will be because of picky picky pseudo conservatives that we see so much of on FR.

First off, let me say I won't be voting for McCain. However, I don't care who this guy is, claiming that McCain "lost" the plane in the Forstall incident and casually mentioning the huge loss of life is completely unfair. Lumping that in with the other losses is wrong. McCain was sitting in the cockpit, on the flight desk, waiting to take off on a mission when his plane was hit by an accidentally fired rocket. He was completely blameless on this one, sort of on-par with getting hit by a bolt of lightning while sitting in your car.

That John McCain still has a vicious temper is well known. We can all remember him singing “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,” to the tune of the Beach Boys hit song “Barbara Ann.” He also said North Korea should be threatened with “extinction.” He often boasts of America’s 100-year war with Iraq and talks of pursuing enemies “to the gates of hell.” There is no doubt, John McCain is one mad man.

How dare McCain joke about starting a war with Iran or North Korea... No decent human being, let alone someone who would be President of the US would ever joke about something like that... And would CERTAINLY NEVER joke about launching an attack on the Soviet Union!

There are conservatives in this country who will not be happy until either Hitlery or (more likely) Obama are sitting in the WH gutting our military and making the U.S. an easy target for the enemy.

Yep.

As the reasoning goes, the great disaster that would befall America during the next four years would then makes it easier for a conservative to win the White House in 2012.

As for me, the physical safety of America comes first and my politics comes second.

He is a nut case! ted sampley is full of crap he married a woman whose husband was mia so he could become part of the mia family and that helped him along with his smear campaigns.
she divorced him after only 2 years. Guess she found she was being used by that nutcase and he was using mias to make money!

well, at least he is an Annapolis grad, unlike John Kerry the 90 day wonder who Served in Vietnam (for the VC no doubt)..

[TinaJeannes]

Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, called the man, Ted Sampley, “one of the most despicable people I have ever had the misfortune to encounter.”

Mr. Sampley, a businessman from Kinston, N.C., has gained some attention in recent days for operating a Web site devoted to attacking Mr. Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, for his opposition to the war in Vietnam after his military service. The Web site, www.vietnamveteransagainstjohn kerry.com, includes pictures from the 1970’s showing Mr. Kerry at antiwar protests. One shows Mr. Kerry at a rally, sitting several rows behind Jane Fonda, who was so outspoken against the war that she was labeled a Communist by her political opponents.

...

In 1993, Mr. Sampley was convicted of misdemeanor assault and sentenced to 180 days’ probation for attacking a legislative aide to Mr. McCain.
And he is despicable. The man whose video is up on vets dispatch his son is mia. Sampley told him that Mccain knows where he is but wont release the info !
that poor man was calling mccain constantly, if mccain was on a radio talk show he would call in and ask where his son was etc. what sampley has done is totally disgusting and despicable

Thanks for the corrections

However there are no MOH winners -ask any of holders of the MOH and they will all tell you they are recipients- they did not win anything

I have had the pleasure and honor of working with many of them.

[napscoordinator]

True.

[SkyPilot]

Yes - I see your point. The semantics of that argument always come up with the nation’s decorations. When I wore my decorations, I never said “won” for any of them either, but then I never wore the Congressional either. It is the only medal that some people refer to that way, and I don’t mind if you disagree with it.

[EdArt]

Please just ask any of the MOH recipients if they like being called winners- its not semantics or me disagreeing with you- many people lack the knowledge of what is the process of receiving combat awards. I am sure you don’t but sometimes words are very powerful and have special importance. I had 4 MOHs on my Board of Directors.

PS

I have often heard and seen written the reference of “Winner” to medal recipients other than the MOHs.

I have never has a single military person ever disagree with the term, recipient vs winner - you are the first and I hope the last.

[GoMonster]

OK OK ...I get it..Make sure he doesn’t fly Airforce One
