Oh Common and give the man a medal and be done with the whining. This election is about our economic future and national security in a international world,NOT about the PAST!!

When will McCain stop with his POW days? Really, that was then and this is now. Not belittling his POW experiences but that was 35 to 40 years ago and we lost the war to North Vietnam anyway. Today he is a very old man who makes questionable judgement calls. First up is the selection of Palin as his running mate. During McCain''s campaign to date, just 21 days from election day, he has ignored America''s economic problems, and other issues, while engaged actively in fomenting anger, hatred, racism, by his constant character assassinations directed at Obama across the nation. How is that putting country first? McCain and Palin are putting their power grab and ambitions first over anything about the USA. It''s all about them.

So he has had the ambition to be President since then? No wonder the guy thinks he''s entitled. Where in the article did it say he wanted to "improve the lives of Americans?" - it didn''t. It said he wanted to "be in command". The more I know about McCain the less I like him.

McCain: a short synopsis of the article.

Opportunism magnified. Ambition unbridled. Conscience minimised. Patriotism exploited. Consequences ignored. Alliances betrayed.

You summed it up PERFECTLY!

All he''s ever wanted was to MAKE the rules, NOT FOLLOW them. Heaven forbid! Sounds like he and Bush BOTH f''d up their military carees but they are both too ego driven to let those little things stop them from the PRESIDENCY! Unbelievable!

Once again, we are being treated to another version of John McBush McCain''s captivity as a "guest" at the Hanoi Hilton.

Obviously seeing that the smear campaigns against Obama during recent weeks have not been working at all, the neocon Fascist Nazis on the McBush Campaign Committee have returned to a much "safer" bet, producing still another chapter in the saga of John McBush McCain, POW!!!

Listening to McBush''s life as a POW is like watching the numerous versions of Star Wars, A New Hope, or Blade Runner. There is the theaterical version, the extended version, the Director''s Cut, the wide screen version, the unrated version, etc, etc, etc!!!

How much "mileage" can you get out of something, before people say "ENOUGH!!!!!"????

SIG HEIL, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY MANY "MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHED"!!!, BUSH!!!
sig heil, FIRST, LET ME TELL YOU MY LATEST VERSION OF LIFE AS A POW!!!, McBush!!!
sig heil, I''M STILL INNOCENT NO MATTER WHAT THE REPORT SAYS!!!, Palin!!!!
