McCain doesn't learn about MLK until he's 47 years old.

wow congrats you can do subtraction. o and im glad that he voted against mlk because all he did was plagiarize other people work and besides his real name wasnt even martin do your research. i honestly dont realize why they let people like you express your opinion.

If he'd LEARN TO USE A COMPUTER, he could brush up on things like history, geography, economics, social studies.... You know, the things he seems to be deficient in, that he should know about if he's going to be POTUS.

this will kill mccain in general, u wait

and see, Go Obama Go Obama

you have to realize, mccain was a pow the entire time civil rights was going on, and that was his first year in politics unlike obama right now. When he voted for the bill, he voted in what his state believed, and he really didnt know much about the issue back then. But right now he is much more experienced, has shown much better leadership and the best qualities of a politician is when he admits he is wrong. Since when it is bad to admit you are wrong, that what we have been lacking in bush.

I understand what you're saying. But he was released from prison in 1973, and elected to Congress in 1982.

In that time, he could have "learned..." More importantly, he could have investigated before he voted. Can a person admit they're wrong? Sure.

But there's something about the whole "didn't have blacks in my district, I was military" defense that makes me queasy.

If the military is, as he likes to say, the greatest equal opportunity employer on Earth, why didn't he learn then?

[nader85021]

my point is he is more of a military person. when he came back, he tried to get his family back together, he really never experienced the "civil rights era", so he didnt really know who MLK was and what the blacks went through. No white person understood that. It took him public service in the senate and talking with people and watch what was going on around the country to learn why MLK was a big figure in american history. Its not that he supported segregation or was against civil rights.

[nader85021]

my other point is people always make mistakes when they get elected for the first time. It is admitting those mistakes that makes a person better. Especially a politician. John F Kennedy didnt really understand the military, had horrible foreign policy insight, what made him great was he admitted his mistakes, like for e.g. bays of pigs. This moment shows what a politician should really be like, unlike other for example george bush.

Had MLK still been alive, he'd only be SEVEN years older than McCain. You are telling me that McCain doesn't understand the civil rights movement and who MLK was? I'm 20 years old and I've nearly captured the civil rights movement through reading and researching the topic. McCain voted the way he wanted to vote and as with every other topic, he changes them to fit his run for the presidency. That's just like his newfound "conservatism."
