The rest of the title is I would take that back

I wish anyone of these clowns would stand up to Obama like they are standing up to Trump.

Perhaps then they might have some support.

The stupid party strikes again.

Well, I expect any American who was held captive 5 years as a POW is heroic.
However, I also look at his Political life, and find he has become a RINO, self-absorbed, and cares not for the Vets as much as he claims.
He should have retired LONG AGO.

I think someone on Trump’s campaign reads our posts. FR had the Atkinsson piece posted, with lots of comments, lickedy split.

[ETL]

"...[former Rep. Robert Dornan (R-CA)] said there were transcripts of other POWs reacting to McCain’s false statements, saying, 'Oh my God, is that Admiral McCain’s son? Is that the admiral’s son? Is that Johnny, telling us that our principle targets are schools, orphanages, hospitals, temples, churches? That was Jane Fonda’s line.'..."

This was yesterday’s news. This is all a big *yawn* now.

Not poking at you,,poking at the media.

I’m sorry but I have searched everywhere I can to find out what was it that McCain actually did that made him a war hero. And I have yet to find out exactly what concrete things he did that saved lives, that were crucial to strategic military victories or that inspired men to fight for freedom. I just don’t see it.

So I disagree with Donald Trump who calls McCain a war hero.

I call McCain a person who suffered greatly as a POW but there were many others who did the same, in fact there were tens of thousands that suffered greatly in that war and more than 50,000 of them paid the ultimate price. I see McCain as someone that survived against great odds but there were many who did the same.

Please if I am wrong, tell me exactly what McCain did that was so extraordinary that it resulted in saving lives or winning key military victories.

I do know of one person whose acts of heroism are clear and transparent:

Wow! McCain! what a fag!
New topic.... Unemployment.
Iran axxholes?
Obama the Jihadi?
Hillary the Felonious Lesbian?
Sanders the hardcore Commi?

What’s wrong with this picture?

Comment of the day.

Damn shame they only have a back-bone against us isn’t it.

[DoughtyOne]

I wonder who that was...

= ;^)

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

There is a reason the commanding officer (James stockdale)at the Hanoi Hilton put out the order that they all go home together. That’s also part of the story you will never hear. Read up on it.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

BINGO! This is why mcnutts is trying to get past all this when he says Trump does not owe him an apology,lets move on.Damn, Trump is smart.

[TomGuy]

Now that we have 16 (and possibly more coming) in the Republican race so far, it may be time who start a new game:

Who will be the first Republican to drop out?

Extra point: When?

Closest correct answer will win something like a 6-pack of microwave popcorn.

[Kaslin]

Actually there are 32 declared Republican candidates. Sixteen of them however are unknown. 17 declared rat candidates and if you add the 13 Independents as they vote mostly with the rats anyway that makes it just 2 less than the Republican candidates

[dforest]

I watched this on BOR. BOR was the one apologizing for him. BOR was doing his usual “Come on, Come on, you didn’y mean it.” crap.

Then when it is over, BOR says Trump apologized, LOL

[Jane Long]

Ooops...sorry...I couldn’t remember in the haste of my post :)

I do think they’re reading our threads.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, someone else could have linked her in too.

No problem at all Jane. I don’t expect you to remember who posted everything you read here. I can’t.

"...it is obvious that Trump doesn’t tell it like it is, and that some of his fans like that about him."

As some of them also show by lying about what Admiral Stockdale said about McCain. Here's the truth of the matter.

John McCain in the Crucible
New York Times
By JAMES B. STOCKDALE
November 26, 1999
[Excerpt:]

And I consider it blasphemy to smudge the straight-arrow prisoner-of-war record of a man who was near death when he arrived at Hoa Loa prison 1967: both arms broken, left leg broken, left shoulder broken by a civilian with a rifle butt.

He was eventually taken to the same rat-infested hospital room I had occupied two years earlier, and, like me, he had surgery on his leg. By then the Vietnamese had discovered that his father was the ranking admiral in the Pacific Fleet, and he received an offer that, as far as I know, was made to no other American prisoner: immediate release, no strings attached. He refused, thereby sentencing himself to four more years in a cell.

Notice the glee that they display after eliciting disgust from real conservatives, and see the following to know what their goal is.
