  • I should clarify - I posted this video because it has historical significance in modern American political history.

    I am not seeking to make a comment about Admiral Stockdale's intelligence, nor his politics.

    This quote often comes up in Political conversations. I felt it important that the clip be available on youtube because it is historically significant.

  • I am out of ammo on that question

  • This was a funny statement, and I knew as soon as he said it that the late night people were gonna have a field day with it. That aside, let's not forget that this man won the Congressional Medal of Honor as a Vietnam P.O.W.. Read up on his story about what he did that earned him that honor. It will put the whole "Who am I, why am I here?" thing in perspective.

  • GREAT MOMENT...Questions were asked by him in a funny sarcastic tone...due to the fact that he was being completely left out of debate...GOOD AND FUNNY COMMENT...

  • Saw this...from what I recall...he asked these questions from a funny sarcastic point of view...he was not at all being included in the debate...that is why he was asking, "Why am I Here...???..."...LOL...GREAT MOMENT THAT BROKE THE TENSION...

  • @mjwatts1983 - wait, was that the date of the last republican debate?

  • @mjwatts1983 - am I missing something? what is it about 11-9-11 that makes it such a significant date?

  • Isn't this the same question most of us ask ourselves? I don't see why people are laughing but should stop and ask themselves this question. Who am I and why am I here?
