1. Be prepared to hear it a few more times tonight

I was quick to change the subject of his divorce though.

[malaise]

2. Maybe we should count how many times

he says it. Poor victim.

[liberalmuse]

3. He's describing his torture. Evenagelicals love this shit.

When I was a fundie, the pastor would go over every excruciating detail of Jesus torture until we'd start crying. That was fucking shameless, McCain. Christ, they've already read your damn book.

9. Please

Forty years ago, Obama was seven years old. That's as relevant to the Presidential campaign as is McCain's time as a POW.

How does fucking up and getting caught qualify you as an expert on war? McCain said "I know how to win wars." Does he mean like the one we "won" in Vietnam?

He's such a pandering, sniveling idiot.

11. Every candidate is allowed to discuss his/her own

life experiences. Obama does it. Every politician does it. It's free speech.

You have the freedom not to listen to it.

12. Thank you.

13. Say it ain't so!... I heard a newsette, the other day, say

"John McCain is a modest guy, who is reluctant to talk about his POW days "...:rofl:.. I almost choked on my sandwich..

John McCain's pivotal "moment in life" was his POW time.. He never left it.. It defined him, and he is and always will be a POW.. It's not something in his past..something he lived through.. it IS the essence of John Mccain..
