Why is McCain a delicate flower who needs constant a*skissing?

So, does being a prisoner of war automatically make you the best-qualified candidate for the presidency? If your answer was "Hmmm, probably not" or maybe even "No", well, you un-American, terrorist-loving, swift-boating scumbag obviously haven't been watching enough of the MSM lately! Let the truthiness begin:

But he did praise him. Repeatedly. Just like Obama has. Saying that being shot down and taken captive doesn't prepare one for executive office is in no way belittling McCain's service, even if the media wants people to think that. It's just stating an obvious fact that a lot of people don't seem to grasp.

No, he said "riding in", and he said it like that because that's how Bob Schieffer phrased it. Listen to the first half minute of the video, then you'll hear what Clark actually said, not what the media told you he said.

Plus he didn't OVERstate the obvious. As it was, it was a simple statement of fact, I can't think of a clearer way of saying it. Also, that what he said is obvious is unfortunately not a given, otherwise McCain wouldn't be referring to his POW experience every chance he gets (and claiming he hates talking about it and doesn't want to use it for political purposes - lol, yeah right).

Yours ranks as among the dumbest, and most irrelevant things ever posted on RWED thread. Congrats.

If that's true, then what does that say about your response? Who's the bigger fool, the fool, or the fool that follows the fool? Face it, your're just desperate now to try to find something you like about MCain, after despising him for years over his RINO aciviies & Ted Kennedy policy deals. One year ago, Republicans would have danced in the streets with glee if he had left the Party, like Liebermann leaving the Dems. Republicans absolutely hated McCain, but now since he's the last of the smarmy lot of candidates standing, now you love him. Now he's the great candidate. Hah! What a pathetic, hypocritical joke!

I seem to be remember him doing it quite often. In fact, that's the only thing I'm sure everybody knows about him. He's flip-flopped on the issues so often that I have no idea where he stands on them this week, but his POW experience is the one thing that absolutely everybody knows about.

Obviously you haven't, otherwise you'd know what Clark actually said.

Unless you admit to deliberately misrepresenting what he said ...? Surely not! Not you, AURaptor, never ever, nuh-UH!

On those points I think it is a net positive to have a voice of reason who has been on the other end of the bullshit, just to try to bring some of the coke snortin asshole wanta cowboys back to reality.

You must've missed the flip-flop back in February. He's against torture, but ...

McCain has been a public figure for well over 20 yrs, so , over that time span, the issue of him being held as a POW will come up a few times, but hardly EVER because of him.

Same goes for his alleged flip flops. Folks can change position, over time, but does that make it always a flip flop? No. That term is too often used by folks who want to tarnish a politician. True flip floppers, like Kerry , deserve the tag. McCain does not.
