Coming from someone who's enjoyed the benefits of government-provided healthcare ALL his life (military child, navy officer, veteran, senator), it seems naive at best, and hypocritical at worst to suggest that a gov't sponsored healthcare option would be bad for us mortals.
When you mere mortals get off you butts and provide the level of public service and defense to this country that John McCain has, you too can earn heath care coverage.
John McCain is an undesirable pilot who got shot down and imprisoned for five years. He ran some 20+ missions bombing civilian targets in Vietnam. He is NO HERO by any stretch.

you idiot, we lost vietnam and korea. the korean war has never ended. north and south still have guns pointing at each other to this day. but hes got a point about the dems. they both suck and the dems ar cowards because they wont cut off funding. NADER 2008 or Bob Barr if you want a real conservative.
i agree. and ppl dont realize that it was reagan who passed the amnesty bill in 86, i think more than a president it is important to elect a congress that will secure the borders and right now we do not have that.
kucinich will protect the borders? he has been rated F for reducing illegal immigration and F- for border control. He is gonna not pass the amnesty bill that will take 12 years for illegal immigrants to get citizenship, but instead give it to them like legal immigrants and that is in 5 years. Get real no democrat out there has a good record on reducing illegal immigrantion, especcially one running for president.
Thank you Sen. McCann...and thank you again for the sacrifice you made for our country, and to your civil service ever since. You have my full respect and admiration.

Old Fart stop admitting human beings of Arab decent to the USA- you will save American lives and We can leave Iraq. They will still have to sell Us oil. Get it Right Viejito!
-EXACTLY- "we are succeeding based on what?" You're right, McCain, mistakes were made. However much a failure in Iraq would be detrimental to this country, a failure to THIS country would be far more detrimental. What would you propose is more important?
Hmm.. interesting he thinks- despite numerous other republicans- this war can be won, and that we are making progress. Yet he doesn't know what it'll take for us to come home- does he really know what we are trying to win? Is anything really winnable?
Wow, war isn't the answer.. if i vote- i'm not voting for him..
At least he allows comments that do not require pre approval like that douche Hilary Clinton. I wouldn't vote for him though. He panders to the religious and hawkish right. I wonder if John McCain supports the terrorist regime known as the CIA that makes Al-Qaeda and other Islamic regressives look like rank amateurs since it is responsible for the murder of millions. We can't forget the CIA employing Nazi tactics and selling drugs to fund its covert operations
A liar? well then I see that they employ liars as Naval officers! Funny as how when people say others lie they hide behind petty comments and stab weak jabs at those who do not flinch when it comes to standing firm. And scum? Then I suppose his father and grandfather who were both Naval Admirals are scum as well? Please do us all a favor and leave your narrow minded half witted comments to yourself.
i wonder if he ever gets tired of being a lying tird..?...he looks like a mixed clone of bush rumsfeld and cheney...to be honest he makes me want to vomit
how is he a mix close of bush, rumsfield and cheney. he was the first to call out on bush for mismanagement. He had been so critical of the administration that john kerry wanted him to be his running mate. Do u realize that mccain is against torture and most of the practices that people dont like about the bush administration, but considering him with opposed to guiliani, romney or thompson, mccain has been more critical of the bush administration.
"Cut and Run" supporters don't want to take away funding because they don't want to put the troops in greater danger. This doesn't mean their vote is disingenuous.
As for Congress' constitutional responsibilities, he's overlooking the checks-and-balances part.
His colleagues gave them a chance to succeed; they failed.
And success? "Based on what?" is right, Mere.
McCain doesn't even buy it - he's laughing at his own words.
When u say "his colleagues gaven them a chance", "them" was the Bush administration, he said loads of times that the war was poorly mismanaged which is a nice way of saying Bush didn't organize anything well. I beleive that he understands this and how to make a comeback. Hopefully he'll be the republican candidate.
I was a phone volunteer in McCain's 2000 run. As an Independent, I was attracted to his 'Straight Talk'. It is sad for me to see that in his quest to gain the Bush wing of the party he is no longer talking straight. It is ironic that the very Republicans he is trying to woo do not trust him anyway. And by his actions he has lost the trust of the Independents, a twofer.
McCain's sunny claims have been thoroughly debunked by nearly every reputable source. This shallow political maneuvering makes McCain appear as out of touch with reality as President Bush.
Iraq is the anchor around your neck. Complaining about war mismanagement is not good enough given your position and the then Republican-controlled Congress.
She asked you straight up at 2:50 what it will take to make you agree to a pull out, victory or not. And you didn't answer the god damn question. You said the same stupid shit you've been saying. You're blind to the truth in this matter and it will cost you the presidency.
When it's time we'll know? That's not side stepping the question? That's the god damn definition of side stepping the question. "When should we get out?" "When the time is right." Give me a break.
Also, "your" does not equal "you're". And I wouldn't bring it up, except for you failed at it when suggesting that I'm "blind to understand english", which is a barely coherent statement to begin with.
