I'm actually a registered republican who plans to vote for Obama I'm stating a fact and find it baffling that a man who stands on his military experience doesn't discuss the MAJOR military mishaps as well. There are 600 plus pages missing from his military file and I wonder why that is. I also question SOME things about his military career due to the fact of who is father was. These are just things that make me say hmmmmm and as an American I am blessed with the right to express them
My father served in Vietnam as well, I don't discount the man's service there. I do discount his actions after he returned (dumping his crippled wife and children for an heiress) and I discount him for Keating 5, and I discount him for sounding like an old fool these past couple of months. I don't expect you or anyone else to agree with me and I applaud your right to think/vote for whomever you choose.
I just found it ironic that his poster showed airplanes in the background when he had such a hard time keeping them up in the air. It makes me question why he was allowed to keep flying. I spent quite a lot of time with some of the old F16 guys at MacDill AFB in the early 90s. Guys who crash planes don't go over to well with their bosses. Guys that crash 5 airplanes can only be flying because Daddy makes it so.
Okay you got me....I would never have guessed someone would purposefully crash planes because dad...or for that matter argue that someone would do such things.
McCain dumped the crippled wife who waited for him, raising their kids alone, while he was a POW. He then married the mob princess who was worth a few million and looked like a barbie doll.
Her mob father bought him his election and the mob money has provided him with the benefit of never having to worry about working for a living. His senate health care has also made it possible for him to never worry about his health care.
Which is fortunate because he has had many reoccurences of cancer. And, even more worrying, his mental capacity seems to be taking a sharp dive. I am not just being snarky when I say that I truly, truly believe we are seeing the onset of Alzheimers in a man who's finger will be on the red button. I could be, and hope I am, wrong. But I have seen the onset of the terrible disease too often to not recognize the signs.
And that may account for the fact that he seems to have forgotten every view and opinion he once held that made him respected by people of various political stripes. He appears to have lost both his memory and his honor.
I do respect what he suffered as a POW. But my late husband was also a Viet Nam hero and, had he returned after I had struggled to raise our children alone all those years and then dumped me for a blond mob princess, he would NOT be running for president. He'd just be running.
I don't think your even remotely taking into account what both individuals went through. Sometimes people fall apart....I would imagine torture and 20+ major surgeries would tend to put a damper on things.
He lost his honor? Sort of like dismissing someones entire life career dedicated to them for their freedom so they can disrespect him for his contributions to that freedom.
So what's Obama's excuse for forgetting his stances?
Strange, looks like it was hacked by some rabid Obama-hater
