APRIL 2008:

“On Christmas, that same guard approached me, and without saying a word, he drew a cross in the sand,” McCain recounted in a powerful ad that aired over the holidays.

Though compelling, the anecdote also reinforces McCain’s inability to discuss his own religious beliefs.
“He’s taken some guff for that, because some in the audience say, 'Well, that tells me more about the guard’s faith,'” notes Bauer.

Even when he was imprisoned, McCain was not one to confide his feelings on God.

“I don’t recall us talking specifically about our faith,” says Orson Swindle, one of McCain’s closest friends and a fellow POW. “We talked about our friends, families, our resistance posture, and that our country didn’t seem to have the will to win.”

Belief in a higher power helped them survive the routine torture and daily indignities, Swindle says.

“It would help us endure what we had to endure. But we knew God wasn’t going to come down and wave a magic wand.”

Maybe Swindle was Misremembering when he actually heard this story from McCain. :rofl:

4. It's f-in blazin', baby!!!

They have been forced to confront this, and their defenses have been dismantled.

McCain lied about his POW experience, and in doing so he has damaged his most valuable asset.

10. Oh, Ho, so that's why they were lukewarm defending him

somebody at their website office pulled the April story out of the files, not that they mentioned it in their current coverage.
