#1 Riiiight.

Look 'round the website this comes from. This guy's a little, well, "out there."

#2 " Allegations of this nature have been made over the years, many by Vietnam veterans"

I've heard these rumors thru the years too. Of course, no one pressed it because there was no proof. What is documnted is McCain's temper, which has been with him since a young age. He seems to totally lose his grip. Not good if you have your finger on the trigger.

#3 I think this report is probably wrong.

I suspect we won't find out the real damaging truths until after the nomination, though. Probably the last week in October.

#4 Sheesh,

The Clintons wouldn't have to anything.
McCain destroyed himself amongst Republicans with his RHINO antics.

#5 I think the Clintons might want to play some of the interviews McCain did on 9/11 or 9/12 when he was venting and furious. I was glad he wasn't in charge when I saw that. Now it's a few years later and in the position of President he might be more mindful of his demeanor but still it was unsettling.

On the other hand the Iranians and others might have gotten the message so perhaps it would have been useful for the President to come off as unhinged from time to time.

I've heard others make this point. I'm pretty sure that Persian and Arab govts have ordered their loyalists here to give $ to Hil or Obama because they believe McC might actually start the launch sequence.

#7 Hogwash.

If I really wanna get paranoid about McCain (which I am, of course), all I have to do is watch the Manchurian Candidate. I prefer the original black and white version with Angela Lansbury and Frank Sinatra. The writing is much better.

Besides, McCain's public record since Vietnam is bad enough.

#8 Sorry boys but I'm incline to believe it. Take a look at other flyers and see how they have aged after 7 years in North Vietnam. But that's just an opinion.

What is not an opinion is how McCain helped shut down the Senate Select POW/MAI committee. I remember when this bastard did that. He was right there with Kerry on the committee.

You know what Kerry got? His family was given soul rights to some land sales in North Vietnam.

Remember how McCain fought public access to POW/MIA files? All the Pentagon debriefings of the prisoners who returned from Vietnam are now classified and closed to the public under a statute enacted in the 1990s with McCains backing. He says this is to protect the privacy of former POWs and gives it as his reason for not making public his own debriefing.

Why McCain helped stop the governments search for POW is all wars is one fucked up issue. For this reason alone I'd vote for Hillary over McCain.

Ether way we loose our country to Mexico.

yes the original Manchurian Candidate was a great flick - one of my favorites

and it had the beautiful Janet Leigh and the even more beautiful Leslie Parrish in it (Parrish was possibly the only person on earth with the face, the figure and the voice to play Daisie May in the movie musical L'll Abner)

Angela Lansbury played the mother of Lawrence Harvey despite the fact she was, IIRC, older than he was (by a few months).

#10 The curious thing about Angela Lansbury is that years later when she played in Murder She Wrote she still didn't look any older. Might have to rent that movie and watch it again. Hmmmm. Tonight might be a good night for some enterprising TV stations or cable networks to show it.

#11 After reading these posts, I'm getting really paranoid about the election. Except it's not paranoia if it's real--Right?

#13 I'm very skeptical about this rpt & am loathe to believe it.

I'd say there's more concrete evidence when he was CO/XO at RAG 134 in Fla wrt him committing adultery (fairly openly) & dumping his wife for a trophy-broad 17 yrs his junior.

If not that then all you need is his voting record.

#15 That's not half as scary as his voting record on immigration.

What? I have no idea what a RAG 134 is, and I suspect you don't either. McCain was the CO of an A-7E Training Squadron designated VA-174 at N.A.S. Cecil Field, Jacksonville, FL. I know, because I was there too, at the same time.

#17 I do know that back in 04 I talekd to some vets who condemned Kerry AND McCain for gbasically trying to shine them on in the 90's when they tried to bring accoutnability up and it was "inconveneinet" for McCain and the rapproachment talks. Basically McCain blew up at them and cussed them out callign them all kinds of vile things for getting in the way of McCain.

John McCain is an asshole. The GOP is cutting its own throat.
