Hi i'm John McCain and I was tortured in nam merry xmas! I'm so glad this guy didn't win or we'd be hearing every other day from the media that we can't
criticize him because he was a war hero and was tortured like 90 years ago.
Why don't Republicans like to talk about the Bush-Cheney presidency????? That's probably because Dick Cheney's office has already shredded most of the "Bush legacy".
McCain often says the guard drew the cross with his foot, but this McCain-approved ad shows the cross being drawn with a stick. Incidentally, McCain often quotes are refers to Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipeligo" which "coincidentally" contains a very similar story involving a stick used to draw a cross in the dirt. I'm just sayin'.
The McCain handlers don't think that their supporters would recognize the "lift."
How many do you think have read Solzhenitsyn??
They don't read and have distain for those "elite intellectuals" who do.
John McCain has found his champions, the red-necked, slack-jawed yokels who think that people who are educated and have class are just too darn "uppity."
we're voting for a president who can fix the country, not one who can narrate wartime anecdotes and wish merry christmas 4 months ahead of time. geez, i think he's just pandering to the christian crowd saying.. "look at me, i'm a devout christian, just like you!"
I'd rather have a president who can fix the nation, than a president who has a hard on for war and violence 24/7. We need to make new allies and at the same time become the great nation that used to be...not one that is feared and disrespected. The War on Terror will never end because its impossible to win and basically we have become a War OF Terror to many.
McCains economic policy is a reason alone not to vote for him. As well as his aggression towards Russia makes even Bush look like a pacifist.And there are some good reasons not to agitate Russia. Hero or not his policy's are basically a continuation of Bushs failed ones.
Being a hero does not justify presidency at any level.
That may be so, but what does it have to do with this stupid ad? I've only heard this same story (word-for-word) from McCain twice, and even though I'm sure he'll be repeating it over and over (for what reason is anyone's guess), it already sounds so scripted and heartless that I cringe whenever I hear it.
For those who don't know (and I guess from the posts, that is a lot of people here): McCain told his story 7 years before Solzhenitsyn published his book. He has witnesses that have come forward today, one is former POW Mark Salter. I think you owe McCain an apology.
Orson Swindle, who was held as a prisoner of war along with McCain, tells the McCain Report that he heard this particular story from McCain "when we first moved in together." That was in the summer of 1971, Swindle said, though "time blurred" and he couldn't be sure. He said it was some time around then that the Vietnamese moved all "36 troublemakers" into the same quarters, where they "talked about everything under the sun."
Thank you for the reminder and I did confirm, McCain was telling this story seven years before Solzhenitsyn's book came out. I guess it is easier to accuse than to fact check. But this is modus operandi of the left, when you get your a** handed to you in a debate, deflect by bringing up false charges... too bad Obama's side isn't experienced enough to fact check something as simple as who said it first.
wow, McCain shows more and more what a soul-less SOB he is. selling out himself, his fellow americans, even Jesus just to get a vote. all so he can end up in the white house and drill for more oil and continue a never-ending war in the middle east.
F*CK YOU MCCAIN. The american people aren't falling for your bullsh*t.
If you accuse McCain of 'ripping this off' you also are accusing the other POWs who where with him, including Bud Day, decorated U.S. service member since General Douglas MacArthur. The reason this story is similar is because history repeats itself and this symbol has been used by POWs for decades. There are many stories of POWs in Japanese camps in WWII doing the same thing. But sure, go ahead and call those POW's liars. See what it brings your side.

The corporate media will keep this rip-off covered up. Biden was called a plagiarist, but the fact that Reagan often confused movie scripts with reality was never commented on and this, like all of McCain's exagerations and lies will be ignored by them too!
this same story looks strangly similar to recently departed novelist and McCain favorite Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, recounting his experience in a Soviet gulag in The Gulag Archipelago, released in the United States in 1973. Luke Veronis, in The Sign of the Cross
Plagiarized from Solzhenitsyn, he is an admitted fan of his writings, right? curiously in 73 he never mentioned it. WHEN is america due to tire of the lies?
John McCain is a liar a thief and lost to George W Bush 8 years ago. Now he makes up steals stories from Russian Authors. Lucky for him his supporters can't read or he would be in trouble

"JOHN McCAIN WILL DOUBLE THE PERSONAL EXEMPTION FOR DEPENDENTS IN A FAMILY."
John McCain believes the tax code should be less of a burden on those, whether they are mothers and fathers, or just single parents who are trying to raise a family. McCain proposes to raise the personal exemption for each dependent from $3,500 to $7,000. This is only one way McCain will help working families and single mothers cope with the higher cost of living.
Then why does he not stick the issues as he sees them and his solutions for them. He is making extreme efforts to hide his inadequacies behind the stars and stripes and lies about his captivity as a POW. If his positions are well founded, he would not need to meake stuff up.
At least John McCain allows you to post foolish comments on his youtube threads, unlike Hussein Obama, who's marxist slaves censor all of their incoming comments.
No, he stole it. Of course the Main Stream Media will have to be pushed hard to even admit McCain is any other thing than the golden boy. They don't touch his Keating five, his temper, his adultery, his ties to an agent for the Georgian Government. Why would this be any different?
The DirtTalk Express caught plagiarizing -- Pandering McCain uses his POW experience as a tool to fool stupid people who do not investigate, learn the facts.

We need McCain as our president. He unlike Obama is the only one that can reunite this country, If obama is elected he will truly tear this country apart. Vote for a man who is central enough to work with both parties and reunite this country!
That's true 24balin23, if the democrats can't win an election after 8 of the most emabarassing years in American history they should pack up and quit.
That's incompetence. But of course the dumb__s idiots would be those who voted for him a second time.
He follows Bush's track; how's that working for you? Bush increased our nat'l debt by 2 trillion, which devalued the dollar on the world market. Now our economy is tanking. The last Repub. to balance the nat'l budget was Eisenhower. Bush spends 1/2 our taxes on an unwinnable war, instead of on gov't incentives to create jobs. Green tech is the fastest rising job sector in the U.S.. Dems are for renewable energy instead of oil, for JOBS, for health care and affordable college. Obama 08
If the types of people that trash MacCain so bad in here are claiming to be Americans, the future for the world is bleak because someday these loons will get their way and destroy America in the process.. Sad times we live and shame on many of you in here.
John McCain is so feared my Far Left Liberals youtube is saturated with smears and lies.
He's so hated by far right conservatives that Talk Radio Hosts have launched their own Jihad against him.
When the far left, and the far right are united in their passionate and overwhelming hatred of a single man, that's all I need to know, to know he's the man to lead this country.
If you think Americas image has been tainted by her foreign policy so far, you aint seen nothing compared to when John Songbird McCain gets control of the worlds most powerful military.
May God have mercy on us for allowing such criminals to be in power.
Mitt Romney, a man of experience and leadership. Led business development firm Bain Capital for 25 yrs. turning around businesses like Staples (80,000 employees), hand chosen to save the winter Olympics and Governor of the liberal state of Massachusetts (Revamped health care program & brought in new businesses like Samsonite).
He's a turnaround expert! He's been doing it all his life. And, now he'll lead the USA through a sea of change. And, a future of optimism!
The average unemployment level in the US is over 5% and over 7.4% in Michigan! McCain's "McCain-Feingold" bill would have raised this unemployment level even higher if it had passed! This bill would have in essence provided amnesty to millions of ilegals. A fact that McCain has no regrets over at all. Romney was the first to criticise this bill as he immediatly saw it for what it was. Amnesty.
You served your country well and I commend you for that, and thank you. However, your century of being in politics shows that your voting record is more LIBERAL than conservative! You've ignored your AZ constituents. If you truly wanted a border fence you'd have done it by now. Rep. Duncan Hunter got in done in San Diego. Hmmmm..
South Carolina, Do you care about illegal Immigration? Do you want a Democrate liks Obama that supports illegals obtaining Drivers License. Guess, what McCain still is calling for Amnesty for illegals. Don't be fooled and listen to hype.Find a leader that wont hand over our country to mexico.
That's a heck of a claim. How about you substantiate that claim, and show it was someone of actual authority in Romney's campaign, and tell the world who you are while your at it, rather than making unsubstantiated claims, while hiding behind a non-descript internet handle. Posting something like this, anonymously is such a weasel thing to do.
i thought McCain was a Straight Talker! Looks to me like a Straight Panderer! Sounds like he has all the excitement of a prostitute waiting for her next john to pull up. One thing you can say about McCain...he doesn't lie/pretend very convincingly.
It is frustrating to come to this web site and see the types of comments below that contain profanity and poorly composed thoughts. Mr. McCain has our country at heart. The story he tells is true. It wouldn't be told otherwise. His heart breaks for those men and women who are fighting for this country and he has nothing but pride for the service.
Any candidate who would support the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is a traitor. And all of the candidates below are members. In the last three issues of "Foreign Affairs" (CFR publication) ... Obama, Romney, Giuliani, Edwards, Clinton, and McCain have all written featured articles for this diabolical group of anti-American globalists.
That's nice, I especially like the ellipses. What other constantly recycled quotes can you regurgitate from forwarded warmongering e-mails? Wait, wait, let me guess:
"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing"
It almost makes it sound like Iraq has anything to do with our freedom!
McPain is simply a liberal droid who loves to make compromising deals against his own party. At his advanced age, He still loves the attention he gets from the liberal media, so he's always willing to pander to the emotional issues if it'll make headlines. Mc is too old and out of touch to be president in 2008.
Kohn McCain's campaign are bringing back the memories about why he faded so far in the summer and fall (and remains far back among the base that will decide the nomination --opposition to tax cuts, McCain-Feingold, the Gang of 14, the McCain-Kennedy immigration amnesty, and the McCain-Graham theatrics of September, 2008 which derailed many judicial nominations and GOP momentum into the 2006 vote.
Oh, boo-fu**ing-hoo...he left out the part where Zsoo-Zsoo chimes in, "...teacher says, when Charlie draws a cross in the dirt, an angel gets his wings!"
This guy is using his POW story to generate a sympathy vote, yet he is the biggest warmonger and supporter of bombing Iran and spreading the war!! Wake up people, lets elect the one president who will get us out of this mess. Ron paul.
I see all the votes in congress.Mccain! That Mccain,Clinton and mostly the Democrats voted on, to give our American tax Money to Illegals in 2008, for S/S! A Real American, Mccain is! You, Piece of Shit!
Why havn't you secured are border with mexico? What are you waiting for? Terrorist attack? More illegal drugs to come into our country. To grant more illegal aliens amnesty? Please secure are borders now!
who'd a thunk it. john mccain an a pow ad. propaganda. vote for another veteran who didnt forget about the constitution he swore to fight for. ron paul in 2008.
i've really considered john to be out of this race for a long time, but the numbers show he may be able to pull out a new hampshire win. quite impressive commercial and recent showing.
John McCain proved his character through unimaginable circumstances and continues to serve our country. He possesses traits that are rare to non-existent among politicians: character and moral excellence. McCain's Christmas Card is a reminder of horrors he endured. He refused early release, offered because his father was Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet. He followed rules dictating POW's are released in order of capture.
Huck leads in raising taxes, firing police who investigate his son for hanging and stoning a stray dog, and for pardoning murders.
If you want a REAL leader, try Ron Paul. He's actually for AMERICA FIRST. Bankrupting ourselves to build up foreign countries like Iraq is ridiculous.
Ron Paul is a stupid piece of shit who will never be a President of anything and everybody knows it. Get over it, Ron Paul is yesterday's joke and so are his retarded supporters.
I'm not really sure why Paulites would want to leave hate speeches on a John McCain video, but while you're here sinking to levels that Ron Paul would never be stupid enough to authorize, take a good look at John McCain, a true American patriot.
to say McCain slandered Ron Paul is incorrect. Slander is when you lie about someone. If McCain did say it, then he is dead on. Ron Paul believes that we should focus soley on the domestic. That is isolationism. Ron Paul suggests we should leave all the countries we are helping, and let whatever happens to them happen. We we know what will happen in many and that is chaos death and genocide.
Ron Paul would not help an old lady cross the street for fear that he may get run over.
Thanks McCain. I supported you until I saw this ad. Nice that you don't mind alienating Americans who aren't Christian, no matter how small their percentages !!!!
i saw this ad and as an athiest i was not offended in the least. this ad is to show a common bond amoung people of different cirumstances...i would prob not vote for huckabee, romney that seem to only offer thier religion.
Couldn't you come up with something more logically? Guiliani has an ads mentioning fruitcake, so using your logic will be "Is Guiliani going to confront every leaders with a fruitcake?" Clinton has an ads about wrapping gifts, so using your logic will be "Is Hillary going to confront world leaders with gifts"? Obama sit next to a fireplace... "Is Obama going to confront world leaders with a fireplace?"
hahahah.. I'm so happy to get a rise out of you!!.. Neither of those candidates would have an AD if it wasn't for MIKE HUCKABEE.. it shows who leads and who follows.. VOTE MIKE HUCKABEE 08!
You guys are sick! McCain is a war hero, regardless of the presidential election.

He's so hated by far right conservatives that Talk Radio Hosts have launched their own Jihad against him.
When the far left, and the far right are united in their passionate and overwhelming hatred of a single man, that's all I need to know, to know he's the man to lead this country.

If you think Americas image has been tainted by her foreign policy so far, you aint seen nothing compared to when John Songbird McCain gets control of the worlds most powerful military.
May God have mercy on us for allowing such criminals to be in power.

Mitt Romney, a man of experience and leadership. Led business development firm Bain Capital for 25 yrs. turning around businesses like Staples (80,000 employees), hand chosen to save the winter Olympics and Governor of the liberal state of Massachusetts (Revamped health care program & brought in new businesses like Samsonite).
He's a turnaround expert! He's been doing it all his life. And, now he'll lead the USA through a sea of change. And, a future of optimism!
VOTE MITT ROMNEY!

A vote for McCain is a vote for Amnesty for 12 million illegals and a continuance of more poor uneducated Mexicans flooding the US.

The average unemployment level in the US is over 5% and over 7.4% in Michigan! McCain's "McCain-Feingold" bill would have raised this unemployment level even higher if it had passed! This bill would have in essence provided amnesty to millions of ilegals. A fact that McCain has no regrets over at all. Romney was the first to criticise this bill as he immediatly saw it for what it was. Amnesty.

You served your country well and I commend you for that, and thank you. However, your century of being in politics shows that your voting record is more LIBERAL than conservative! You've ignored your AZ constituents. If you truly wanted a border fence you'd have done it by now. Rep. Duncan Hunter got in done in San Diego. Hmmmm..

South Carolina, Do you care about illegal Immigration? Do you want a Democrate liks Obama that supports illegals obtaining Drivers License. Guess, what McCain still is calling for Amnesty for illegals. Don't be fooled and listen to hype.Find a leader that wont hand over our country to mexico.

It is frustrating to come to this web site and see the types of comments below that contain profanity and poorly composed thoughts. Mr. McCain has our country at heart. The story he tells is true. It wouldn't be told otherwise. His heart breaks for those men and women who are fighting for this country and he has nothing but pride for the service.

Any candidate who would support the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is a traitor. And all of the candidates below are members. In the last three issues of "Foreign Affairs" (CFR publication) ... Obama, Romney, Giuliani, Edwards, Clinton, and McCain have all written featured articles for this diabolical group of anti-American globalists.

McPain is simply a liberal droid who loves to make compromising deals against his own party. At his advanced age, He still loves the attention he gets from the liberal media, so he's always willing to pander to the emotional issues if it'll make headlines. Mc is too old and out of touch to be president in 2008.

Kohn McCain's campaign are bringing back the memories about why he faded so far in the summer and fall (and remains far back among the base that will decide the nomination --opposition to tax cuts, McCain-Feingold, the Gang of 14, the McCain-Kennedy immigration amnesty, and the McCain-Graham theatrics of September, 2008 which derailed many judicial nominations and GOP momentum into the 2006 vote.

John McCain proved his character through unimaginable circumstances and continues to serve our country. He possesses traits that are rare to non-existent among politicians: character and moral excellence. McCain's Christmas Card is a reminder of horrors he endured. He refused early release, offered because his father was Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet. He followed rules dictating POW's are released in order of capture.

They are probably angry because McCain slandered Ron Paul by calling him an isolationist.

Chemicalkinetics 4 years ago
to say McCain slandered Ron Paul is incorrect. Slander is when you lie about someone. If McCain did say it, then he is dead on. Ron Paul believes that we should focus soley on the domestic. That is isolationism. Ron Paul suggests we should leave all the countries we are helping, and let whatever happens to them happen. We we know what will happen in many and that is chaos death and genocide.
Ron Paul would not help an old lady cross the street for fear that he may get run over.
