Let me say one thing, and abuse me if you like. If McCain ends up in the Oval Office, his prior service, and his time as a POW may make for better decision making as the CIC. Why? I hope that someone who spent as much time as a POW as he did, and under those conditions, is less likely to make a decision to send troops int harms way on a whim, or for oil, or family revenge, etc.

I'd like to think so as well, I wonder what McCain thinks?

There you go. No need to "send troops into harm's way" when you can just launch missles and bombs at everyone who might eventually pose a threat to America. He's definitely the man for the job.

I doubt that's likely. Either Dem will whip Grandpa McCain like a red headed stepchild. laugh

I'm not so sure about that, even with the ghost of W floating around. Obama and Hillary both have some issues to contend with. We shall see...

Hillary is JM's only hope. Conservative types hate his ass so much the only way to goad them into voting for him is the spectre of Hillary.

I think you're right. Obama will hand him his ass, gift wrapped.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. More than a few hardcore conservatives are fed up with the Republican party right now. And we're not going to get suckered into that kind of fearmongering again. It worked against Gore and Kerry, but it's old and stale now. People have had enough old, fat, bald pasty white men. They bring war, outsourced jobs, high gasoline prices and higher healthcare costs. This country is ready for something different. Whether its' a woman or a person of color in the Whitehouse only time will tell.

It amuses me to no end that the very people first in line to whine and cry "discrimination!" at every opportunity are also first in line to voice support for Hillary/Obama because they've had enough of pasty white men...

Much like Clintoon's "bomb the balkans at random" policy?? Perhaps you'd think we'd do better leveling a Asprin plant in Libya??

Keep thinking that. Just because someone does not agree with you, does not mean they are wrong.

If that's all the better you can do, I suggest that you eject from this thread right now.

Kerry made an issue of his war record, or lack there of, and it came back to haunt the living hell out of him.

McCain's record is well documented, as are the activities he undertook that earned him the various medals he holds.

Can you elaborate?

Why don't you research it?

What I would like to see are the voting records printed side by side for McCain and Huckabee. Huckabee was a Governor instead of a Senator but he still has of records of what he did sign in office.

AS if there isn't enough depressing items in this thread. I'm sure both records would make me weep.

We wouldn't want anyones feelings hurt.

I just want some proof of these claims that is all.

Tecumseh, I'm curious about all of that, too. In fact, I even started a thread to ask people what they thought about the Swift Boat issue. But you know what? APS isn't my personal research staff. Nor is it yours. Google is your friend. So is the local library, for that matter.

Yes but there are so many experts here that I wanted to take advantage of their knowledge.
