President Bush spoke at a campaign rally in support of John McCain. They raised millions and millions of dollars, most of which will be used to repair the damage of President Bush supporting John McCain at a campaign rally. So it''s kind of a wash

That is on CBS...http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/08/politics/main4080395.shtml?source=related_story

He got the Bronze Star for showing up to work and flying an assigned mission to an airfield in *** Yen.

One would presume that everybody else that flew that mission also got the Bronze Star?

No?

lollll...

Improving Veterans'' Health Care

John McCain believes that America''s veterans who dedicated themselves to protecting our country deserve the highest quality health care. He is committed to ensuring that veterans'' health care programs receive the funding necessary to provide the quality health care our veterans need and deserve. He has worked to ensure that the Veteran''s Affairs provides care for all eligible veterans, no matter where they live or what they need. In addition, John McCain has fought to ensure that retired servicemen and women have meaningful access to affordable health care.

Funding Veterans'' Health Care

John McCain has voted repeatedly, throughout his career, to ensure that the Veteran''s Affairs health care programs receive the funding necessary to serve our veterans. He has supported numerous funding increases, initiatives to make the VA more efficient, and proposals to give higher pay to VA doctors in order to recruit and retain high quality physicians and dentists.

John McCain = Lobbyist Meat puppet.

At least he dumped Phil ("It''s all in your mind") Gramm.

For now.

Lord willing, he won''t get the chance to rehire him.

got character?

Timberg described McCain%u2019s advancement: %u201Cin the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather, since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path.%u201D

While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and %u201Cengage in extra-marital affairs.%u201D

This was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates. But, as with all his other past behaviors, McCain was never penalized; instead he always got away with his transgressions.

Timberg wrote, %u201COff duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or not, they became part of McCain%u2019s persona, impossible not to take note of.%u201D

Thats why I said he was bombing vietcong soldiers, or did you miss that part and only pick and choose pieces of what I say.....McCain was awarded the Bronze Star, as well as many other metals, but if you wish to disrespect him... by all means, go ahead

Posted by Minuteman-5 at 04:02 PM : Jul 28, 2008

I know the medals McCain received and I do respect him. I am Navy too. But what did he "do" to get the Bronze Star ?
