General Questions Relevance of John McCain's War Record

[OfWrkArt]

Are you a General to discucss proper business with the General, General.

[susuguy]

lets get right to it... he said Barack Obama is simply MORE ready to be president then uh.... Barack Obama

[susanbird1]

His time in war was 20 Hours. Crashed 5 planes & only one was in combat. Served 5.5 years in POW camp of which 2.5 he was sometimes tortured. New regime came in after the death of Ho Chi Ming and they did not torture. He was a songbird and there are 32 tapes to prove it that McCain wants to keep quiet. He was dubbed the crown price and given clean clothes. He was one of 1200 to get a purple heart. He acts like he was the only one to be decorated. Checkout his record for missing POWs comttees.

[susanbird1]

How can McCain be classed as a war hero. He got caught!

[Sevae]

HA! @ swaffty

[swaffty]

what the hell he said that barack obama is more ready to be president then barack obama

what the fuck? did nobody hear that its just in the beginning

[LUISALVAREZ30]

LOL,The host of face the nation like so many other lab rat, god fearing,dilusional people in this country virtually worship a so called war hero like John mcain..getting shot down in a fighter plane means you suck! Although, mcain was captured by a people who actually knew how to win a war! maybe he learned somethng from them...but time in a vietnamese prison camp only shows mcain is good at making mistakes!

[jzieziula]

Not just one plane but five other ones luis!

[navyavi469]

Who know how to win a war? Vietnam was a politically-controlled limited fiasco, not a conflict controlled by generals. You really have no place to comment on getting shot down in a fighter jet... maybe by some skank ho at a club, yeah you can comment on shot down. War experience is relevant becuase the idiots yelling the critisims and trying to influence about "war", have no clue what war is like, have never been in one, and don't know a damn thing about one... sort of like you alvarez.

[Richardgwm]

100 years in Iraq.

George W McCain has promised to keep American troops in Iraq for 100 years.

100 years in Iraq.

[TalonMagic]

we are there period. do you REALLY believe the troops can just pack up and come home?? we do not have the logistics capable of bringing all those ppl back to the States in 16 mos (Odrama said that only to get the nomination anyway). seriously, i believe we are embedded..they are not coming home anytime soon.

[fallsonme82]

"John McCain hasnt held an executive responsibilty?"-Clark. What has Obama done??? Oh thats right, raise the roof with europeans as a citizen to the world, skips to visit injured troops in Germany, and wants high gas prices to serve his socialist startegies. What a canidate

[macarion]

"skips to visit injured troops in Germany." The Pentagon didn't allow him to. Know what you're talking about before you talk.

[fallsonme82]

All major news outlets reported that the Pentagon would welcome Barrack Hussien Obama for a visit but there would be restrictions, such as no campaign officials would be allowed in. Get your facts straight before you talk. Check for yourself. Obama chose not to go. What a patriot....

[bluemonk82]

I take it your Bush No. 2, oh I mean John McCain. If you vote for McCain, you really have lost your mind.

[bluemonk82]

You actually watch the news? You do know they're paid off by the government right? Of course they are, that's why Fox News has such biased opinions and they lean so far to the right that they are on the edge about to fall off.

You can say what you want to about Obama. The only reasons Democrats propose higher taxes is to help get the budget back on track.

It's going to take a lot of time and money to repair what W has done, then again, I blame you, because you probably voted for him.

[fallsonme82]

With your wasted energy on ranting about the goverment paying the news (ok? prove it), you missed the point. Obama neglected to visit wounded troops and chose to play basketball with his staff. Its a FACT. Spin it any way you want but its a fact that he turned down the chance to visit wounded troops who helped protect our way of life. Would you know anything about freedom and what it takes to protect it? P.S. raising taxes might fix the budget,but its going to damgage middle/lower incomefamilies

[moogoogourami]

Your media are the worst in the world. You aren't being told the truth. Get your news from outside the US. I've never spoken more seriously in my life. Start getting your news from around the world. Then ask yourself, "So are this many other human beings wrong, or am I?" Wake up, you're being brainwashed.

-moogoo

[kklol7]

The same can be said about every media outlet accross the globe.

[moogoogourami]

I qualified my statement that the US media is "the worst." How can every media outlet across the globe all be the worst?! JAYSUS H!

[kklol7]

What i'm saying is that the media sucks in general, not just our country.

Now I'm not trying to defend our media, they suck, but who is to say that YOU are being brainwashed?

[Basta11]

Wesley Clark for Vice President.

[nuno1959]

i'm not an Obama fan - at all .. - but let's be thankful that all the republican party could come up with to present as a candidate is someone so lame as McCain - they are giving it away......

[7rayd]

This guy is a hack politician's puppet.

[Athaeus]

That General is brilliant.

[BrynMawrYamBag]

Will someone shut this dinosaur the fuck up. ChristHE's still whining about his loss in 2004. This dickhead,like me,my dad,my uncles, fought and won the cold war. Now good old Wesley is willing to endorse a Marxist,half muslim,piece of garbage.

[cheshcat1]

Even though you're just making shit up, anyone is better than Bush and Mccain. Obama could save our country.

[BrynMawrYamBag]

What am I making up???? Obama attended madrassas in Indonesia as a child while his mother was humping everything black for miles around. Did you see him in his Somali costume...What a fucking joke.Obama aint fit to run a 7-11 on the south side of Chicago. Wait till you get your tax bill for your "free healthcare,education,and other goodies,

We engaged in a 60 year Cold War to kep communism at bay...and now idiots here are willing to go commie.

[bluemonk82]

We already are communist as it is. What happens when you oppose Bush in our goverment? He cuts you off.

Obama may not be the best choice, but McCain isn't either. McCain is nothing but a Bush clone. He's for more government spending and the unnecessary Iraqi war, which by the way he totally flip-flopped on, McCain said in the very beginning of his campaign that he was going to leave the troops in Iraq until the job gets done, but now he says he's willing set a timeline for withdrawl?

[TimeWarp66]

Obama can't save you or our country. Only you can make a difference in your life. STOP LOOKING TOWARDS THE GOVERNMENT!

[freedomman121]

To quote Kinky Friedman "We gotta stop electing the guy we'd most like to go to a barbecue with. We tried that, and now he's barbecuing the whole world..."

So yes, everyone in the world has every reason to be concerned about who gets elected president of the US.

[padude64]

Bush needs to go and I am having a Bash when the idiot leaves the white house! What makes you MCCain lovers that things will change?

[padude64]

We need serious governing in our country! I MEAN extreme GOVERNING and balls in the white house!

Bush had the wrong balls by attacking the wrong country!

We must catch Bin Laden and bring that bastard to trial! Torture the prick and his sideshow clowns and say we mean business!

[padude64]

Let me tell you Bush lovers something! Do you even realixe that we are being attacked economically on our own soil! How stupid can you get! Even Judge Judy knows it!

[jurbinsky77]

How did I become Bush lover? Don't lump me with that ignoramus. I have been telling my friends in 1999 that Bush was not the right choice but Americans elected and re-elected him. He had done so many bad decisions and yet Americans say nothing. In other countries, it will be street demonstrations and lively exercise of freedom of expression. Bush was media's hyped-up creation. I can say the same with Obama.

[padude64]

Let me tell you Bush supporters something! We had a great economy under Bill Clinton and yet you crucified him! And now people who voted for Bush Jr are losing their jobs and homes! Give me a fuckin break!

[jurbinsky77]

Obama's don't recognize Clinton as a good president. For Barack Hussein Obama, the great president was Ronald Reagan. You may ask him why and how did he arrive at that assessment.

[hypnofan35]

There is a thing about American people, they seem imagine they should have more status and are very competitive along these lines. They would like it to be meaningful, yet it ends up being bizarre at best. i suppose that is part of being human when the culture is all about playing for status. Being a bonified hero is part of the bizarre game. What was he doing? He was bombing some people in his own quest for status. The game is far from useful with the only purpose of believing bullshit.

[hypnofan35]

I certainly wish i could be a little more positive about this. If i was in the game it would probably seem like it had a purpose, but being out of the game, the whole business looks bizarre as hell can be. What the world needs is less self made icons and bullshit beleifs. Status reality is based on lying, cheating, stealing, playing the rules, threatening, and killing for status. John McCain should get 15 pounds of medals for that. Barack isn't a whole lot better.

[jurbinsky77]

It will be a tragedy for America if Obama is elected president.

[jurbinsky77]

What has happened to the Democrats?

The party that condone infanticide (abortion).

The party that champions marriage between two men or two women.

The party that banned classroom prayers.

The party that nullifies the existence of God.

The party that believes that life only developed from evolution.

In a nutshell, the Democratic Party, is the party whose members constantly rebel against God.

And now the Democratic Party is the party that constantly weaves lies to fool more Americans.

[Buzztootight1990]

The democrats do not ban classroom prayer, nullify God or believe that life only came from evolution. They are the party that recognizes that those are thing not to be discussed in the public square or to be government funded. If it's not ok for the government to fund something as base and necessary as healthcare, but it is for the government to fund one belief system or opinion, then something is fundamentally wrong with our system of governance.

[jurbinsky77]

Wesley Clark another judas iscariot...from the party of back-stabbers. Clark insisted that McCain had no experience and yet implicitly he is saying Obama has the experience. Strenght of character? Yeah, with friends like Rezco, Farrakhan and Wright..

[shakaama]

i think your nazi camp in oklahoma might get burned down by the columbine kids if you keep saying compeltely ignorant things.

[shakaama]

he's absolutely right. getting shot out of a plane qualifies you for .... a bad pilot?

has nothing to do with being president. ZERO

[jurbinsky77]

You don't know what you are talking about...

[padude64]

I will not vote for McCain considering the damage Bush has done!

[jurbinsky77]

Why was it the as early 1999, non-Americans were saying Bush was not the right person for the presidency.

Now Obama has so many negative attributes and the Americans, at least the Democrats insist that he is the man to wieid the presidency.

The eerie part is that, overnight, the Democrats effectively converted their party into party of back-stabbers and judas iscariots because of Obama. You can determine the tree by its fruit.

[ssterry86]

fuck you raciest

[ssterry86]

John Mcain is the devil himself..............Barack has been placed in this worldto be "just a man" used to do "Gods will"

[oostrixoo]

Obama is a racist pig. He will not be president. Vote McCain.

[ssterry86]

Mcain is the spawn of the devil AKA bush's servant. Forget about race and look at the man God has placed here to do his will for the struggling USA. Look at the spiritual battle. Barack is for the Lord..Can you say that about Mcain or Bush? didn't think so.

[jurbinsky77]

Barack is for the Lord? Whoa..another invention...

Barack friends are Rezco, Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, Wrigth whose daily sermon was hatred to America and to non-black people. I can't fathom how in the world, blacks are saying Jesus Christ was a black man. A black man in Israel? Even until now, I have to see a black preacher fromm Africa with message of hope and love and piety.

[jurbinsky77]

used to o God's will.. another invention by obama's supporters, these evil democrats who in the first don't recognize the domain of God. When was Obama campaigning or talking about him being the instrument of God? He is in reality a muslim.

[padude64]

McClains military record has nothing to do with a presidency!

McCain has no knowledge of middle eastern ethics and does not understand the mindset of the middle east!

[oostrixoo]

And to think Obama has even less experience. No thanks. Vote McCain. Either will keep us in Iraq and either will keep us in Afghanistan. Who knows about Iran.

[padude64]

Bush the chimp cannot sell MCain and not lead us into the right right direction not unless you think you arer a real man who thinks that you are a bad ass!WRONG!

[psrdirector]

mccain is a joke, Being shot down means you got shot down. Sorry I dont want you leading me, Military stay in Military

[mark99501]

Yes I want to see another blue eyed devil in the whitehouse.

[jurbinsky77]

Now, even Gen Wesley Clark become so stupid. Saying Obama has character of strenght..whoa..sitting up straight in the middle of his unchristian pastor attacking the United States, does not constitute to me character of strngth.

[bullethead2311]

General Clark is a douchebag.

[GuinnevereB]

Being shot down has no bearing on candidacy: it does NOT qualify one to be president. But being tortured DISqualifies ANYONE from being given power. It creates a permanent disfigurement of the soul, and it gives McCain the potential to be even worse than Dubya. (...Just think about THAT for a moment.) I am not enthusiastic about Obama, but I KNOW we don't need McCain, another irrational whacko in the Bush tradition, and a perpetually angry, emotionally damaged one this time, in the White House.

[mastersnort1]

well spoken

[oostrixoo]

Right, we need a racist, anti-american like Obama in the whitehouse. Never.

[LaMouleQuiCoule]

anti american? get off the crack pipe there son

[padude64]

go to hell bush loving dick!

[oostrixoo]

Could you willingly sit in his so-called church for 20 years listening to the anti-american sentiment or would you walk out? Michelle's comments make sense after sitting int that place for so long. Give me a break. He's done.

[jurbinsky77]

You should be scared of obama. He talks of something but does another thing.

[padude64]

What does your MCCain promise or what has Bush Jr done? Bush Jr has not blocked a terror attack against the USA! We are being attacked now economically!

[NHMntnHIGH]

Gen Clark is a putz that got fired by Bill Clinton and his promotions via brown nosing and stepping on others. This was reported to me by a current 2 star General in the US Army

[JimboTHC]

Thank goodness we didn't have any of that General Clark brown nosing like we did in Serbia.

If this administration did things the Clark way Iraq might be over already and we wouldn't be able to secure the oil fields.

[ChiTownGuyIndy]

Gen Clark is to the military what Jeremiah Wright is to Christianity. Sad but true.

[jurbinsky77]

Wright a Christian? Their candidate Obama loves him and in total agreement with him until it got hot under his collar.

[anomalysix]

I don't see what the big deal is. Fox has been broadcasting that Wesley Clark questioned John McCain's military service instead of questioning the "relevance" of John McCain's military service. I don't think Wesley Clark said anything wrong... I think stupid people just don't understand the distinction. Clark is wicked smart. :)

[oostrixoo]

What he did say backs up the fact that Obama is too inexperienced to serve as president at this time.

[jurbinsky77]

What I heard was he was trying to emphasize that McCain is inexperienced while Obama, since has this plan in place to talk to US enemies, has THE experience. How I can trust any of these judas iscariots in the Democratic Party about what and how?

[padude64]

Who in the hell are you to be another Hitler like Bush? You will lead in that direction if you vote McCain you dick!

[jurbinsky77]

I believe you will end up in hell...

[lbuchite]

tammer007

I have no idea what the hell you are ranting about.

[teasea3152]

Don't be insane

Use your brain

A vote for McCain

Is a vote down the drain

[Aliciaisgreat]

If McCain is elected, I'm leaving the country.

CANADA, HERE I COME!

[jammoexii]

We'll welcome you.

[Aliciaisgreat]

LOL

when I looked in my in-box I was afraid I would get an angry Canadian telling me to stay out.

I love Canada!

[mistersumthing]

what does getting shot down in plane have to do with being qualified to be a great president? so dumb that this is some kind of issue

[Linguist29]

Dang, I crashed my car. Can i be President. Sure, step right up.

[arenaskies]

Vote Nader! :P

[bek12]

Nader is awesome, but I gotta go with Obama. Would be a tragedy if McCain won.

[padude64]

Nader is one one big massive fuckin zit!

[bek12]

With that kind of statement, you show your opinion to be worthless. Go vote for Bush.

[OneoftheImmortals]

Obama/Clinton '08

[jurbinsky77]

The Obama Democrats hate Hillary Clinton. Hillary should turn down the vice-presidency.

[OneoftheImmortals]

lol

First they said she did divorce Bill and give up being the First Lady and now you say she should give up being VP. As if.

[Fixhist]

~ Please Vote wisely ~

I think quite a bit of work needs to be done on marketing ethics for war gear industry.

While no media publicity is ever needed for marketing of Daizy Cutters or MQ series predators fitted with Hell fire,but Joe's Liber & Bidden know their tricks of trade.

You may want to call your congressman's office to say, don't give a dime for now proposed defense purchase expenditures.

Add your vice to "NO MORE WAR TAX".

[Fixhist]

Wow,Wow, Wow!

No body caught the ball which Joe Liberman threw.

Objective of his disguised statement was prospecting for sale of hi-tech predators.

While Election-08 in the air,lobbyist for Osama OOps! Obama & McCain (read Man on white Cane)can juggle with words.

Afghan boy knows How to catch singing,dancing birdy called "Bulbul" with a peace of broken mirror & couple of Sultana Resins and a nice tune of whistle.

Drones & predators do listen to nice tunes & can be tamed.

[gyuri2u]

Mr. Obama brings naive and inexperienced thinking, questionable friends and business partner. He is a demagogue like Hitler was. Hillary IS the elected nominee of the Democrats, simply because she got the most votes. NO WAY that I would vote for Mr. Obama. Mr. McCain can be at least trusted. The Dems fucked up again when they pushed Mr. Obama on us.

[powermikertje]

gyuri2u: from about 7 things you state there about 1 is true and about the other 6 are false and these kind of lies America had enough of. Lies that bring war before diplomacy, prejudice before intelligence and God before rational thinking. Now go wash your mouth, you liar!

[lbuchite]

gyuri2u

Popular vote does not select a nominee or a president live with it. If you feel that McCain will represent your views better than Obama that is who you should vote for. If McCain does what he has claimed he will do and you do not like it keep your mouth shut about it. Obama was not pushed on any one he won the most elected delegates that the way it works.

[illbeats]

You are lying and we all know it. try to peddle smear somewhere else. McCain is not to be trusted and you know it.

[irishtrotskyist]

just wondering does anyone think Obama will actually be any different? after all he has voted funding for the war in Iraq, also he's not even moderate left, in Europe he would be a middle of the road conservative

[StandtoRise6]

"Barack Obama is more ready than...Barack Obama" Hahaha

[ClassicFIHD]

Watch this clip! General Clark admits he was fed lines.

watch?v=MkReBAQOYh4

You don't think Clark is not fed lines. Watch this clip at 03:35, Dan Abrams asks General Clark, you said "riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down effectively is not a qualification for president"

General Clark responded "it's a great line, I didn't make it up, it was given to me by the interviewer".

[amindbody]

Clark earned a PPE degree from Oxford, so he's no idiot. Why do people have to apologize for what they feel? Clark said he respected McCain's service. Clark is right, if he did his homework.

[hypnofan35]

I bet John McCain go shot down by his own guys in Viet Nam. I understand that is a good way to get rid of an unwanted officer. On the ground it was known as "fragging". Just the fact that he got shot down while cruising around means he had his head up his ass about the lay of the land and strategic defence. I would guess there was better than 50% he got shot down by someone who knew him personally, and where he was going to be that day.

[jurbinsky77]

Navy Captain McCain was shot down in Hanoi (North Vietnam) bombing mission. He was a POW for seven (7) years.

It is expected that the Democrats will weave lies aftrer lies. This Obama is a very bad influence to the people.

[padude64]

Service or capture means nothing man! It is economy and the experience to balance all from the economy to the war in Iraq which has gone bad! I do not care how how many years you served! You must have education in budgetary spending!

[Advocate1234]

Obama is asking people to attack McCain's service.  6 people have done it in the past week...all high profile...there is total message control in the Obama campaign.

Clark and others would not have said this but for Obama's go ahead. What a joke.

[integral]

And I'm sure you're prepared to back that up with references, links, etc. of course, right?

[Advocate1234]

George McGovern, Jay Rockefeller, Tom Harkin, Big Galespy, Ed Shultz, Tony McPete, Wes Clark.

This is way too many to be coincidence. They wouldn't do it unless Obama gave the go ahead like I said.

[amindbody]

Oh, sure, you know that he TOLD them to say it. People have their own opinions, which may be different from Obama's, you simpleton piss.

[Advocate1234]

Absolutely, it was all the same message: High Profile people attacking his War credentials.

Nobody comes out and talks on their own in a campaign. Campaigns all work under a process of message control - everyone gives the same message and talking points.

Obama sicked the dogs at McCain to attack his War record.

[amindbody]

Whoever said this is stating the easily discernible, "How fortunate for leaders that men do not think."

I've never known any dogs to attack any Veteran's war record. It's possible Obama told them to; it's also more than likely that people have their own opinions. These distractions really deflect from real issues and how the candidates will address them. We have real crises, such as economy, education, illegal immigration, future energy, etc.

[lbuchite]

Who attacked anyones war record?

[amindbody]

Clark did not attack McCain's record. I don't know about the other 6 or 7 people, but Clark did not. Qualifications for President are outlined in the Constitution. Other 'qualifications' are debateable because 300 million people have differing views, obviously.

[lbuchite]

General Clark was right getting shot down or commanding a squadron does not qualify any one to be president. The most important thing is temperament then judgment the jury is still out on temperament.

[jurbinsky77]

judgement? vote present instead of yes or no. Being the chairman or head of a committee that supposed to oversee the war in afghanistan is an adequate gauge of the leadership trait of barack hussein.

[lbuchite]

Your Canadian why would you care either way. You have no vote here.

[freedomman121]

"Your Canadian why would you care either way. You have no vote here"

Who get's elected president of the US is gravely important to everyone in the world. Just ask the 1 million+ Iraqi civilians killed by the US action in Iraq, initiated by the neocon Bush administration.

You can bet that the ones still alive are horrified by the thought of "Bomb bomb Iran" McCain becoming president.

[lbuchite]

The problem is you have no say in who the president of the United States is I have no say in who the prime minister of Canada is. I do not meddle in Canadian politics and expect the same of Canadians when it comes to ours.

FYI I thought going into Iraq was a mistake. I support a phased redeployment now. The problem with Iran is the war has emboldened them and it may come to we have to deal with those running that country. It's like a snow ball rolling down the hill it just gets bigger.

[freedomman121]

"The problem is..."

No the problem is that I am American and vote, but actually have no say as our votes for the lesser of two evils don't really count. And, our government meddles in the politics of many countries, so those people have every right to be concerned.

As far as Iran is concerned, the Bush admin and the media are pulling another "Iraq" on them. Vilifying them when they have done nothing to deserve it to justify military action. It's ALL about oil.

Watch this: watch?v=U9d5wJ9ePm0

[lbuchite]

That is amassing your profile used to say Canada now it says U.S. It seems like you want it both ways.

[freedomman121]

"That is amassing your profile used to say Canada now it says U.S. It seems like you want it both ways."

That is incorrect. I am in AZ and have never changed my profile.

You have me confused with someone else.

It looks like things are going to get dicey in the future, and we should all have clear minds.

[lbuchite]

It would not be the first mistake I have ever made and not the last. Sorry my mistake

There are many on you tube that are not from the U.S. that attack those running for president and it does not consern those people.

[grahamkeithtodd]

lbuchite writes "There are many on you tube that are not from the U.S. that attack those running for president and it does not consern those people." sorry but it damm well DOES!

i am from the uk,but moved to Canada last year and i am socked by this attiude

what the us does affacts the rest of us in the world! or are you saying that the usa is a world orbiting the sun on it's own?

[lbuchite]

gramkeithtodd

What I said is that our election is our concern and yours are your concern. I do not voice my opinion on your elections because I can not vote in them.

[moogoogourami]

See why some of us here don't have much faith that our fellow US citizens will vote out the right party? US pushed for globalization but still are too ignorant to understand that we all have to work together now as human beings because our problems are GLOBAL problems! And when the few people who still care about us on the net try to tell them the truth that they aren't getting from their own media, instead of listening they get defensive. For Godsake - Want more pain? Vote McCain!

[jurbinsky77]

Did McCain say that "being shot down or commanding a squadron" qualifies him to be the president? If not, why is Clark, et al (from the party of back-stabbers) is questioning McCain's war record?

[padude64]

Excuse me, MCCain made that choice sir! That does not explain the seriousness of our economy today!

I respect John MCCain and his service but I cannot respect any government official for what is going on today!

[lbuchite]

If I were you I would worry more about what is happening in Canada.

[jurbinsky77]

You should be concerned with the veracity and volume of argument. Don't you want a logical discussion anymore? I understand that you lost your objectivity because of material abundance and innate arrogance. I'm here in the US, working and living. This is the last bastion of democracy and religious freedom and if you lose it because of insensitivity to obvious signs and valid bases for decision making, all well-meaning people of the world will also be adversely affected. That's why I care.

[lbuchite]

If you do not like what's going here get your ass back to canada.

[freedomman121]

"If you do not like what's going here get your ass back to canada."

Somebody said something about lost objectivity due to material abundance and innate arrogance?

lbuchite just proved their point...

[lbuchite]

IF I do not like what is going on in Canada I will stay my ass out of there as well. I will not go to Canada as a guest and complain about how they run their country.

[grahamkeithtodd]

ibuchite mate i suspect the real reason your not going to Canada(a damm good country by the way) is because now you have to have a passport to do so! i doubt that you have even been outside your own state!

[lbuchite]

I have traveled to Canada once and to Mexico many times before any passport was needed. I was in Canada in 1961 and started going to Mexico in 1966 when I was stationed at Ft Bliss, TX and I live on the border of Canada. I owned a truck and deliver the lower forty eight for twenty years.

[grahamkeithtodd]

once? back in 1961? WOW! errrr you might have relised that i was saying that NOW you have to have a passport to visit Canada!do you? ok so you travled to Mexico as well! good man!

any where else? i have travled all over the world and met many intresting people(and killed them) (Ex British army) sorry but your also missing my point , that it is every ones problem who get elected in the usa.. not just it's citizens!

[lbuchite]

I spent my time in the U.S. Army testing new weapons systems at Ft Bliss. You also missed my point that I just do not meddle in other countries internal affairs maybe it just a personal thing. I have not even looked back at your original post. It has nothing to do with concern it does have to do with out side influence on our elections. Nothing personal I tell every one that can not vote the same thing.

[lbuchite]

I did forget one thing Canada is a great country and I may visit there again in the summer because its colder there than it is in minnesota.

[grahamkeithtodd]

well ibuchite mate if you get to Regina i will buy you a pint!(but right now we are hiting temps of over 32+)any way please feel free to have a pop at the uk and canadian prime miniters mate! after all that's what there,there for! lol

General Clark responded "it's a great line, I didn't make it up, it was given to me by the interviewer".

[Advocate1234]

Abrams didn't play the tape before the quote where he did nothing but blast McCain's experience. The whole line WASN't given to him. Read it.

He's full of it.

In fact, Clark said Obama was not qualified when he was for the Clinton Camp. I guess being the wife to a Pervert is sufficient for leading the military, but leading troops into battle and serving in committees isn't.

[ClassicFIHD]

How do you know how much was fed to Clark? Abrams only questioned him on the one line that Abrams felt was the most important line he said.

[Advocate1234]

Because when half a dozen people question McCain's war record...that's no coincidence.

[jurbinsky77]

Humm, sitting firmly while the pastor is thrashing the United States of America,(perhaps he was also clapping with gusto) is a better qualification for a candidate seeking the presidency of the United States of America.

You Democrats are sick to the bone. You have to patriotism or loyalty unless you reap material benefit. "I started to like being an American onlhy four years ago". Before that, was it pure contempt, huh Michelle Obama?

[ClassicFIHD]

jurbinsky77,

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.

" started to like being an American onlhy four years ago"?

Do you mean "for the first time in my adult

lifetime, I am really proud of my country".

And I'm not a democrat.

Clark is an asshole, Id spit on shoes if I had the chance. Obummer has no chance. the same goes for you mmflint. Clark has a "legitimate" concern! You are an idiot too.

GRAZON...you are right on!

[grazon]

Funny how so many skip what Schieffer said just before Clark's statement:

SCHIEFFER: I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down. I mean --

CLARK: Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.

Clark was simply refuting what Schieffer said.

And frankly no being shot down is not a good thing.

[integral]

And can any of you Republcan type hate-trolls point out any lies, distortions, or inacurracies in what Clark said? Or are you just here for the hate?

[jarnocan]

Hearing the discussion in context is sure a lot different than hearing the distortions in the Mainstream Meida today. He was NOT questioning McCain's patriotism at all. How could this be the "lowest form of politics" ??? not even close. Far right people have been out right LYING to try to make Obama seem less patriotic.

[jurbinsky77]

So why was McCain's vietnam war story came out? McCAIN WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT IT, suddenly the Democrats just sprang on coordinated attack .

[padude64]

MCCain is too damn old and will not have the mind to manage a severe financial terror attack as we are under!

[chrisclub]

"He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall"... you can bet McCain's first order of business if he ever gets in the White House IS to order the bombs to fall.

[witzkeyman]

I like him for VP. there isn't a left or right. media deception and dumbarses believe there is a paradigm.

[thunderdragon14]

he said Obama was more ready than Obama?????

[FinPaul]

Yeah didn't he? Yeah he did! Yeah can't wait for Obama to win!

[chrisclub]

"he said Obama was more ready "

A Gaff is when a Republican tells the truth.

[zeldarooles]

It's a win-win situation imo.
