#1 yawn. Spoiled children, given a diploma without having to earn it - thus they are still children trying to establish their adult independence from mommy and daddy by pouting, rude, adolescent behavior. One wonders when/if they will ever be given the opportunity to grow into real adults with a true sense of self-worth.

#3 And that is the faculty 2b - the students are even more disrespectful.

#5 McCain, solidifying his conservative credentials.

#6 This situation has been well-telegraphed for weeks, so McCain gets his badge of courage from conversatives over this contrived event.

He'll never get my vote for prez.

Looks like it's working out real well...

#8 Well I thought he'd at least get a golf clap from the commies for his attempted subversion of U.S. sovereignty wrt securing the border and illegal immigration. Heck, he just about had a circle jerk w/Hagel and Kennedy the other night. I'd have a hard time voting for him to.

#9 Few of us on these boards can match McCain for his courage under severe circumstances. He will always have my admiration.

#10 John McCain has only one loyalty - to John McCain. He's not even loyal to ideals or principles. Remember the words of Benjamin Franklin - 'those that will surrender a little freedom for a little security deserve neither'. John McCain has been pushing for restrictions on the liberties guaranteed in the Constitution since he was elected. He will never get my vote, or the vote of any member of my family.

#11 He will always have my admiration but never my vote (unless he's running against Hillary or Howie or Wide-eyed Nancy).

#12 I concur w/9&11 - considering the Dem alternatives (except for Lieberman who will never again be on any Dem presidential ticket) of course I'd vote for him. He was/is undoubtedly a brave & tough as nails man for what he endured in the hanoi hilton - goes w/out saying. That a side, he sucks ass as a senator -country club rino.

#13 you're voting for the Senator with an unadmirable track record, not the POW. Nobody could say his performance then was less than honorable. Now, however, he cuts political first amendments to protect incumbents (to many exercising the rights to criticize him...), took tainted money as a Keating Five member, and now pushes amnesty and SSA funds for illegals down our throats with his Donk friends? F*&K him! Never will I vote for the jerk. I'd buy him a drink for his POW days, though....

#14 Odysseus

I agree that the POWs (and there were many more than just John) deserve our appreciation and respect.

But, let's be realistic, how many of those other POWs have leveraged their captivity for political advantage? Virtually all others prefer to remain in the shadows, even those displaying as much or more courage than John.

#15 Frank, right on.

I'd buy the guy a six-pack's worth at the VFW for his actions in 'Nam. Like wise, I'd vote for just about anyone running against him for his actions in the senate.
