If he had known what he was talking about and then said that Swifts were "dishonorable and despicable," then I could just write him off as a kook, because the Swifts are clearly neither.
Instead, before he even knew what the Swifts were saying, he shot his mouth off. So, yes, I got even more ticked at him for that. (I was already completely disgusted with his behavior on Kerry's Senate Select Committee for POW/MIA Affairs.)
Then, after he HAD had a chance to find out who these Swiftee guys were and what their message was and he STILL trashed them, THEN I wrote him off.
And this is from someone who cried her eyes out at his recounting of his POW experience. I still empathize with that time - it is certainly more than I believe I could bear.
But what he's done to his fellow POW's and a huge bunch of his shipmates is in itself, despicable and dishonorable. I certainly have little respect left for him. |
My reasons:
*Could have backed up most of Kerry's anti-war history even if he did not want to talk about Kerrys false medals.
*Has not been confrontational regarding issues he should have some knowledge about; to say it blankly : HE HAS NOT PUT HIS NECK OUT, but stayed behind and let the others fight. Does he regret having turned down the VP offer from Kerry?
*Have betrayed his fellow veterans from Vietnam by so blindly attacking the swiftvets, especially concerning these should be issues that he himself shold have experienced personally.
*Seems more concerned about preserving his future reputation than taking a part in the battle.
I would be hard pressed to imply he has betrayed his party, but I am definately starting to think he is currently more of a bane than a boon.
Doubt MC Cain has any future in politics after November 2004.

Anyone ever think that maybe he was "corrupted" long before he came home from Vietnam? {just a simple thought from a simple gal}
 Here's the valient McCain's remark from yesterday
| Quote: | | "the problem with the President is that he won't admit when there's a problem". |
Yes, thank you Senator!

With friends like these .....
I don't know exactly why McCain says some of the stuff he does. I wish he would stop supplying ammunition to the enemy (Kerry). Bush has enough problems fighting the entire MSM, most officials in the State Dept, and some disgruntled elements within the CIA. I also find it curious how all the employment numbers are always revised upwards months after their initial release and long after the negative headlines have been fed to the public. I think its a miracle that Bush is doing as well as he is under the circumstances.
So, it would be nice if McCain wouldn't add to the President's headaches.

It seems like MC Cain has switched horses. He has already bashed the Christian conservative base and it is starting to look like his previous POW-history is a bit less dramatic as projected, although I still am proud of him for serving his country in wr and captivity nonetheless..

I don't trust Sen. McCain. With friends like him who needs enemies? Sen. McCain is using his nuanced independent persona to slap President Bush around in the polls and in the media. It is very obvious that he still bears a grudge against the President for losing in 2000. I don't like him. I don't trust him. He is a naive idealogue who's only ambition is to strike back at the President in such a manner that no one can ever really nail him. He is indeed Kerry's unofficial running mate.

I have been concerned about McCain for sometime, it seems like everytime the GW gets some momentum McCain pops up.
It was reported that at his big Birday Bash it was all the liberal MSM with the exception of Saffire. All this talk about 2008 scares me. Kind like sleeping with the enemy
