Quote:
When Senator McCain visited Iraq last year and shared a Thanksgiving dinner with troops, there was no press coverage of the fact that he was dining with his son and his unit. And he has kept to his code of silence even when pressed by the media. Asked about his son on Fox News recently, he replied: "We really never talk about our sons. We have two sons in the military but we never talk about it, if that's all right. I am so proud of both of them."

His ancestors were part of the generations that made this the great country that it is.

He and his SONS carry on the tradition.

Is this the same John McCain who finished 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy, the McSame who lost five jets?

I'd say 894 out of 899 for the Naval Academy is an elite accomplishment. One that many would be not be able to achieve.

Please, Obamatons; We realize the very, very stark contrast between McCain and Obama. Try and suck it up.

No it's mere rhetoric, just like some of the McSame supporters are spewing on this board...

McCain is a RINO seditous traitor who turned his back on conservative principles long ago, just like Kerry and Murtha. As far as I'm concerned his past "war hero" record is irrelevant. His political ambitions and principles change direction as often as the wind direction.

He's also has a very wicked personal life. Definitely not the family man type.
