I don’t support everything McCain did. I don’t support everything Reagan did, either.
I’m just sensitive about posts which make light of his patriotism or his service, particularly the five years as a POW. I think some subjects should not be ridiculed.

I wasn’t ridiculing. Carter did serve honorably. My point was even being a good and honorable member of the military is no guarantee of suitability for the presidency.
McCain is a good man, but he simply isn’t a conservative.
Worse, his terrible experiences at the hands of the North Vietnamese (and their commie Chinese masters) has made him too reluctant to allow our forces to do what must be done to defeat our deadliest enemies in a ticking time bomb scenario.
His very human reaction to being tortured -really tortured- makes him unable to allow the application of even minimal temporary fear and discomfort, even if failure to do so would mean the loss of an American city.
Besides which, he really is a liberal.
A hero and a liberal. One can be both. He’s not even unique in that, John Glenn comes to mind as another example.
No Marie, I’m not ridiculing the man. After all, I didn’t compare him to John Kerry...

It’s a LONG time until Novenber-unfortunately. Dear God, will I be glad when it’s all finally over. I’ll believe the Clintons are finally gone (as far as owning the party)when I hear her concession speech-and I actually don’t think she’s going to really give one. They came way too close to Obama to totally give up now.

The Marxist Stalinists as represented by this Communist mole Obama will throw the likes of the Hildebeast under the bus as they will everything else in their bloodthirsty pursuit of power. With them will go all individual freedom, the unborn, the aged, modern medicine, Christianity, the traditional family, the automobile, Democracy, Capitalism and this nation all under the bus!
Once the hidden agenda erupts on the surface there will be no recovery. There will only be burial.

The silence of Al Gore, Mr Clinton's vice-president, spoke volumes. Indeed it did.

This is a fabulous piece. It’s like looking at a magnificent painting or listening to beautiful music. It makes me smile. ;9)

“Honesty” here refers to one crumb of the truth tossed out there for the MSM’s to focus on while the big stuff is hidden.

So how did one of America's most accomplished politicians coat tail riders turn a cakewalk into a quagmire?
