It is also disappointing to see him take on and support Bush's war in Iraq, even stating we might be there for another 100 years. For me John represents the entrenched and bankrupt policies of Washington-as-usual. The past 7 years have proven to be disastrous for our country. And I believe John's views on war, foreign policy, economics, environment, health care, education, national infrastructure and other important areas are much the same as those of the Bush administration.

I'm disappointed to see John represent himself politically in ways that are not accurate. He is not a moderate Republican. On some issues he is a maverick. But his voting record is far to the right. I fear for his nominations to our Supreme Court, and the consequent continuing loss of individual freedoms, especially regarding moral and religious issues. John is not a religious person, but he has taken every opportunity to ally himself with some really obnoxious and crazy fundamentalist ministers lately. I was also disappointed to see him cozy up to Bush because I know he hates that man. He disingenuously and famously put his arm around the guy, even after Bush had intensely disrespected him with lies and slander. So on these and many other instances, I don't see that John is the "straight talk express" he markets himself to be.

Senator John Sidney McCain, III is a remarkable man who has made enormous personal achievements. And he is a man that I am proud to call a fellow POW who "Returned With Honor." That's our POW motto. But since many of you keep asking what I think of him, I've decided to write it out. In short, I think John Sidney McCain, III is a good man, but not someone I will vote for in the upcoming election to be our President of the United States.

Am I reading this wrong? These seem to be the same issues that I have with him.

I'm not saying go troll this crap around, I'm saying if you find a post that said McCain was a VC collaborator, this guy was THERE and says it isn't true. AND makes the same points I often like to make.

It will also be a popularity contest between the two candidates (a political version of American Idol). McCain will take the high road until the polls show him slipping and/or struggling. Karl Rove has already promised a 'dirty' campaign without McCain's blessings.

"Look into my eyes, look DEEPLY into my eyes, you are growing sleepy..."

Beware of Brainwashers, Thought Reformers, Framers and Concern trolls among us.. rememeber what Don Vito said to Michael just before he died..."Whoever comes to you with a deal they are the traitor..."

Anyone who gets on THIS blog now that the Obama Clinton battles are over, and tries to tell us to go easy on MCCain, is just ONE OF THEM!

The only thing we should avoid here is promoting outright lies, but if the evidence is outrageously overwhelming, like MccAIN'S "songbird" tales, then it is not only fair game, it is something the public should know about.

If McCain is willing to disenfranchise the families of ALL his fellow POW/MIA's just to hide his own collusion, the public should know about it.

I will not trust ANYONE who tells us to back off McCain, for any reason, as long as there is validity to the argument.

And if you think McCain's SONGBIRD history have no validity, you haven't really looked into it.

The swiftboaters twisted the truth, we are just telling the truth about McCain. So stop resisting the truth, methinks thou doest protest too much, and anyone who tries to deflect ANY truthful comments or posts about McCain will go on my personal "trollwatch list".

Cede the high ground? Boy, howdy, that is a joke, when ignoring the truth represents the high ground, we clearly haven't read our military history very well. Now we'll get a deluge of "lets play nice" posts and comments, and "treat the R's with all due respect" leanings, if you try to shove that comity crap down our throats after what these war mongers did to our childrens' children, both in terms of the environment and their inherited Iraq war debt, I'll come back at you every time just like this.

Take your comity and SHOVE IT! Somewhere it won't get a sunburn...

McCain's a big boy, playing a big game, and everything he ever lied about, every audio tape he ever made for the NVA, or every wife he cheated on or every penny he ever stole for his cntractor buddies in AZ should be revealed to the public.

Your comity died with 5,000 US Soldiers in Iraq, and millions of murdered, displaced and innocent Iraqis whose only crime was to be an Iraqi when a Bush wanted to kill Saddam so his bubbas could to create a monopoly on oil and raise the prices..
