Let me start off by saying I am a proud Navy Veteran and prouder even still of having served my country in the military and federal government for over 30 years. However, this constant deference to Senator John McCain is so over-played! Yes he served in the Navy and suffered in the POW Camp and yes he deserved many of the accolades since his release. But this man is and always has been a reprobate, bully and now he is showing signs of senility and just plain mean-spiritedness.
McCain was never a "Good Officer." He wasn't a good student at the Naval Academy! His Dad, an Admiral in the Navy "greased the skids" for him throughout his career. McCain did not deserve to get an assignment to flight school based on his behavior and grades at the Academy. He exuded an entitlement attitude that his family legacy (McCain) was and always should be entitled to special privileges and "Title."
For instance, he was involved or responsible for five (5) aircraft crashes/accidents, one causing a fire onboard the USS Forrestal and the other caused by his "hotdogging/daredevel" antics. No other pilot with these amount and type of incidents would have still been piloting aircraft.
And this is just his naval career, I am not going to get into his personal life.
I give him his due for enduring the torture and making it through the horror of being a POW, but he cannot continue to be given a free pass for some of the "hair-brained" and Bat-Crap Crazy S#@t he is continuing to espouse; it is just purely old mean guy antics that has been going on since he LOST the election in 2008.
I am well aware I am in the minority WRT McCain and that is okay. But giving this man a pass on saying whatever he wants is not good journalism nor is politically courages or moral. It's just WRONG!

Sorry John McCain didn't make Susan Rice a messenger...Obama did.
John McCain gets a free pass...he had his ass kicked every day being a POW...he can't lift his arms-can you? He was offered a release from the POW camp because of his dad....he refused
Is he bitter? Probably...but he wants to know the truth about Libya..and why 4 people were murdered....and no one helped them don't you want to know the truth?
What does Journalism have to do with it? He isn't a journalist....
Actually I was answering you, but responding to the pp's (iTsLikeAnEgG) comment: "What would he be voting for?"
Oh, OK.
