... He doesn't have any character, so, there really are none ...

From U.S. Veteran Dispatch:

McCain's Divorce
Before John McCain's tour of duty in Vietnam, he married Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia. On his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam in 1967, McCain was shot down and captured.

While he was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car's windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.

When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident "left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight."

Well, obviously she was no longer a suitable trophy wife for a 'War Hero' and future Admiral ... All that effort and agonizing work she did while he was a POW isn't worth anything without the photogenic looks ...

And, there are these heart warming encounters people have had with McCain from years gone by:

~The Measure of The Man~

Anyone who has had an adversarial relationship with John McCain will tell you that there are few with less self-control than the senator from Arizona. Many have questioned his ability to maintain a clear head in a time of crisis. For those of us who have seen these sparks of insanity from McCain, we know all too well that what lies beneath is something dark, ominous and certainly not presidential. John McCain makes reference to his service to our great nation by almost daily reminding us of his five and a half year captivity in the Hanoi Hilton. Yet few have been able to look beyond McCain, the POW, to examine his political record, as if it were taboo somehow to be critical of a former prisoner of war. But what about this former prisoner of war and his criticism of the very same people who fought to bring him home from the dark dank cell he likes to remind us about so much? - The POW/MIA Families of those less fortunate than McCain, those who still have yet to be returned to the soil they gave their lives for.

Since his return from Hanoi, McCain has ...

~Ignored pleas of POW/MIA Family Members for his political influence in the overall POW/MIA Issue as well as with their individual cases

~Verbally abused POW/MIA Family Members in public and private

~Attempted to negatively influence those who testified before the 1992 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs

~Diminished legislation that gave oversight and protection to the families

~Dismantled protection to any future servicemen that go missing.

While it's probably a complete mystery to a lot of Republican Moonies, assorted Gen X'ers, and the sociopaths who post here, why any of this matters, this sort of behavior is still generally frowned upon by real people, just so you know ...

I know. I love it, too. The question, then, is why is McCain going to be the Republican nomination? What's happening?

ohhhh, wait till Obama gets exposed.

McCain isn't perfect, not by a damned sight, but he is infinitely better than Obama, Clinton, Paul, or Hucklebuck.

Really?

Conservative's control, especiall social conservative's control, of the GOP is long past its use by date.

Conservative's control, especiall social conservative's control, of the GOP is long past its use by date.Can't disagree with that.

There are two things I like about McCain: the fact that he's the first high profile, post-Reagan Republican I've ever seen that actually appeals to moderate Republicans/conservative Democrats (I thought they were all but extinct), and the fact that the social conservatives absolutely loathe him.

He's probably as big a dickhead as everybody says he is, and there's a good 50% chance that he'll implode during the general election, but I can't deny appreciating him at this point. Hearing Rush, Coulter, Hannity, Ingraham, etc... flipping out these past few weeks has been an absolute delight.

Luther, I'm disappointed that you would revert to such underhanded badmouth tactics. McCain is a national hero despite his GOP nomination and despite is lack of conservative credentials. Other than gossip and slander, can you BS a point to this thread?

If Republicans want to be treated as deserving of respect, they will have to play above board. It's obvious they don't, hiring Lee Atwater and sponsoring talk radio thuggery, Newt's sleazy tactics, and not least, the Swift Boat scam leaves them wide open to the same sort of abuse.

Unlike Swift Boating, the above posts are not 'gossip and slander', but easily verifiable facts about McCain, and there will be more to come on his 'heroism'; you can count on it. He'll be submarined by the Right, who will settle for 4 years of Hillary just to keep him from being around in 2012.

i dont see what this has to do with McCain. The talk radio hacks are treating McCain like he's butt buddies with the Clintons and Osama Bin Laden. Personally I dont see anything wrong with the "talk radio thuggery," in fact I find it entertaining as shit. Politics are dirty in America, and Atwater and Newt are products of the poo flinging... im sure some conservative or neo-con could come up with the same type of people in the dem side.

That may be, but i havent seen any of these facts verified (only loosely in teh link).

What exposure are you talking about? Anyone can make claims but what exactly are you accusing Obama of. What?????

:eek: You mean you haven't heard? His middle name is Hussain which proves he is the love child of Saddam Hussain. He is a secret Muslim and will add minarets to the White House. He is a cocaine and heroin addict and still sells crack to supporters between speeches.

:eek7:you haven't been reading your emails, have you ?

She and all her fans will come out for him once he's the nomination. They'll completely forget how much they hated him, and magically start loving him. Jeb, George, George and Karl Rove are all already stroking him. All the people who spent the last 8 years slamming him will swing over behind him for the party.

His name can be mispronounced as "Osama" ... that should keep a couple of dozen toothless hicks from voting for him :rolleyes:

They will try some desperate october surprise slime job on him .. but it will not make much of a dent ... Obama will be the next president by a wide margin

His biggest weakness is his lack of experience and any new ideas. If the Clintons' haven't found any dirt they could throw at him, no one will find any. That leave's McCain's best strategy to expose Obama's ideas as repackaged old democrat slogans.

Hmmmmm, not yet. We'll keep an ear out.

If Hillary is serious about becoming president, she's got to make some changes. I say this as a Hillary supporter and strong opponent of divorce. Hillary: You've got to divorce Bill. You've already fired one campaign manager. Now it's time to get rid of your No. 1 buzz-killer.

You can stop lying for the voters now, Hillary. This is me, Ann Coulter, your supporter.
