What's good for the goose, I guess isnt good for the gander anymore.

Quote:
In opposing the bill, McCain went against virtually every veterans organization, from the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion to the more partisan VoteVets.org. Senate Passes $165 Billion Measure to Pay for Wars - washingtonpost.com

Former Secretary of the Navy and retiring Senator John Warner (R-VA), a co-sponsor of the bill, was quoted as saying "I have spent many days in the United States Senate, and I don't know of any days I will cherish more than this one."
Ahhh, his M.O. exposed.
Quote:
Whenever his self-righteous sense of honor or integrity or ethics is questioned (if only in his own mind) he responds out of anger, to which many of his Senate colleagues can attest. He falls back on his comfortable tendency to be a schoolyard bully. And whenever his actions are challenged, McCain will pull out his ordeal as a POW like a talisman to ward off any critical or uncomfortable questions that he does not want to answer. It is meant to intimidate anyone who would challenge him into acquiescence or silence. McCain has become far too comfortable with the sycophant news media who fawn over him and who never ask him the critical or uncomfortable question.

McCain is still much better for America than Barack Hussein Obama.

Yes I have heard of this also, Veterans the ones one would think would be backing Senator McCain are not backing him at all. In fact they have several sites dedicated to him calling him no less than a charlatan and using this stature as political clout to gain votes.

I thnik you have to admit that these sites represent few veterans.But then you can see the OP really has no concern with waht he says about McCain POW experiences.The he is a charlatan because iof it also.This is the same kind of reception the liberals gave all vietnam troops after the vietnam war;old habits die hard I guess.
