#1 Yes, the Islamos are seeking a fusion bomb, and this looks like their ticket.

#3 What dotards like Finemyn forget is that the potato-faced McCain't ran ads in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina morphing the face of President Bush into the face of billy bin clinton with the voice-over stating, "Bush lies like Clinton." Consequently, the BUSH TEAM had every right to savage the neckless one. Unfortunately, the kind and gentle BUSH TEAM had nothing to do with the self-financed and self-motivated redneck who smeared McCain't "and his family". If McCain't despised President Bush, he would not be working for President Bush's re-election in any way, shape or form. There are two Republicans the Democrats in the press love. Colin Powell due to his skin color and the RACIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST belief helf by white democrats all black men must be democrats. And McCain't who will reliably shoot off his mouth when cued by leftist news media types looking to smear Republicans.

#5 Well,there is a Republican in high standing available.One who is unhappy with his party right now,because he feels unfairly ostracized by it.He has a distinguished record as a Senator,and he works well with the Democrats.To add to that,he is a pro-defence Southerner.

Ladies and Gentlemen,meet John Kerry's new VP:
TRENT LOTT!

#6 "John Kerry is a friend of mine." That's enough said right there. BUT, when I was living in Virginia Beach VA a few years ago, some Vietnam Vets were conducting a ceremony at a park to honor the POWs. I went over to talk to them and asked them what they thought about McCain, who, at the time, was getting a lot of media attention regarding the upcoming election. These guys actually served with McCain in Nam and they really, really, really hate his guts. They told me he betrayed their friends numerous times to the enemy and brokered deals with the North Vietnamese to protect himself--to keep himself safe. They said his whole spiel is bullsh-t, and that he's spent all the years since pawning himself off as some kind of ex-POW American "hero" in order to hide what really happened. They said many of the POWs (i.e their fellow soldiers/friends) wouldn't even be in Nam (or dead, now) if it weren't for McCain. As many times as these guys would spit whenever they said his name--well, I don't think the park service needed to turn on the sprinklers that week.

#7 In 1976, as a young Airman in the USN, fresh out of "A" school. I was stationed at Cecil Field Florida with VA-174, the A-7 training squadron.

Shortly after my arrival, none other than (at the time) Commander John McCain was piped aboard as the Commanding Officer.

As a Plane Captain trainee working the flight line I had numerous opportunities to interact with the Cmdr., and observe his interactions with others. I can tell you with complete sincereity,
that he is an arrogant and contemptuous ass.

Anyone that takes him at face value is seriously delusional. He is a perfect politician, and all that goes with it! Spit!!!

#8 ex-lib / Analog Roam -- Thank you! As someone who hasn't had access to such information before, I accepted the bio "as is" without reservations. Your input has definitely changed that notion - and I will be appropriately skeptical in the future. His arrogance is visible, but not overwhelmed by his on-camera charm. So I've been fooled until now.

I suspect that, for guys like Skeery and McCain, opening the past to honest scrutiny is a terrifying prospect - at least until they get so benumbed by their own bullshit that they actually begin to believe it themselves. And aggressive image defense should've piqued my suspicions... *slaps self on forehead* F**kin Duh.

Thanx, again, for your comments... my gullibility quotient on McCain has been drastically reduced!

#9 And it's sKerry, isn't it, who played the "POW's in Nam? What POW's in Nam?" game during the Reagan admin. I wouldn't be surprised at all if McCain runs with Kerry. That way they could protect each other's pathetic histories. I know McCain sure doesn't want anyone finding out what he did. I wonder----how far back do McCain and Kerry go? . . . hmmm . . . Bet they know the same guys that are still there (or were there) in the prisoner camps. Anyway, I wish YOU GUYS could've seen and talked to those guys in the park. It was so sad. They were still (understandably) really broken up about their missing buddies. And still completely po'd at McCain and all the cover up.

.com, don't feel bad. At the time I thought McCain might be cool too. That's why I thought I'd wander over and ask them--who better than a bunch of Viet Nam vets to talk to about McCain being "an American hero" and all . . . I sure got an education that day!
