This reads like a praise piece compared to what will come regarding Mac. The man has more skeletons in his closest than Eve with 12 faces.

The question all should be asking is how did a left wing liberal like Mac become the republican front runner in the first place?

Take your pick, either Hillary or Obama will kick this snarly faced lying bastard’s ass in the major. With this in mind, is it fair to question how and why did this occur?

Huckabee, CinC...... LOL.

Are you and the rest of the malcontents going to continue to hammer McCain during the general election to insure we get something much worse for CinC, US policy setter, SCOTUS nominator, etc.?

McCain is by far not the best of what we could have had but it didn’t happen. Unless something happens outside the normal political arena during McCain is who we will have as the nominee.

I’m no McCain fan, but there’s so much wrong with this hit piece. McCain had help from his family because of their influence? Uh, yeah. So did the Bushes, the Kennedys, Gore, and on and on. Who here really believes George Bush would have been governor, much less president, without the the Bush name and influence?

He lost 5 planes? I see one, maybe two, that might have really been his fault.

And then there’s this line...

“In 1964 McCain became involved with Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia,”

Became INVOLVED WITH!!! Horrors. A MODEL!!! Double horrors.

What about “In 1964 McCain fell in love with Carol Shepp of Philadelphia.”

“Cadet McCain”. That one single phrase speaks volumes - about its author.

There are many things that we may or may not know about Senator John McCain; but one thing we know for sure:

Anyone who uses the term “Cadet” to refer to a Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy is acknowledging to the world that he/she has about as much knowledge and authenticity as a left-handed Bill Clinton salute.

Enough of this shiite, once and for all. It makes this board look like the Daily Kos for Christsake.

And do you and Ted think that Obama or Hitlery is fit to be CIC?

Looks like we have no choice!

McCain will be a far better CIC than either of the Dims. My husband is in the military right now. A large majority of them agree.

Unfortunately many of the younger military members have been born and raised in the socialist era and will jump on the Obama bandwagon unless we get REAL GOOD about attacking his (nonexistent) record and to-the-left-of-the-Soviet-Union policies.

Surprise, another hit piece showing up way too late. I like how this one blames McCain for losing a plane on board the Forrestal when it was hit by a rocket. (Was the rocket fired by the enemy? Was it being loaded onto another plane? Who knows?

The author also goes directly from 1967 to 1973 with barely even a mention of what happened to McCain during those six years.

In my opinion, anyone who saved their ammo for this point is a supporter of BO.

“It was Republican McCain who called Sampley ‘one of the most despicable people I have ever had the misfortune to encounter’ and said ‘Sampley has a nose for publicity and knack for making money from invented controversies’.”

McCain draws scrutiny over $1m loan to campaign

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/21/johnmccain.barackobama

[snip]The Federal Election Commission (FEC) released a letter to McCain today that questions his ability to withdraw from the presidential public financing system – and avoid the spending limits that come with it. The FEC asked McCain to explain whether he used public funds as collateral for a $1m bank loan last month, a move that would commit him to a taxpayer-funded campaign.

The query is especially awkward on a day the senator is fighting allegations he had an affair with a lobbyist, and given that he has blasted Obama for appearing to hedge on his pledge to accept public financing for the general election. The likely Republican nominee accused Obama of “Washington doublespeak” yesterday, noting that both men agreed to take taxpayer funds and play by the rules that doing so entails.

Its a dog’s dinner we have been handed for sure. But it STILL beats the possibility of a “President Barak Hussein Obama”! Whats amazing to me is: there was a day when I thought there could be nothing worse than a Madam President Hillary Clinton! Damn if I wasn’t dead wrong!

McCain is going to be our candidate. We don’t have much say in the matter now. Time to assure that we DO have a President John McCain, the alternative is just too horrid to contemplate. Just the deaths of all the innocent people in Iraq that will come of anything else is FAR too high a cost! Then factor in everything else. Yea, buck up campers, I don’t like cleaning the Cat box out either, but it beats NOT doing it by a LONG shot!

At least two or three of these crashes clearly were not his fault. The headline obviously makes this article a biased hit piece, but at least the author couldn’t lie in the actual facts of the Navy’s findings of fault, such as someone else’s missile hitting your aircraft.

If there are CIC issues with McCain, I don’t think they are to be found here. Even bringing it up makes all those ridiculous accusations about “swift boating” seem credible.

I sense another “fake but true” situation building here.

I’m not too sure if this is a slam at McCain as much as it is a testament to the skills required to pilot military aircraft.

I hope when it comes to crunch time we stop pissing into the wind.
