John McCain's Achilles heel revealed
For a guy who does nothing but talk about his service and being a POW, he certainly doesn't REALLY support the troops in ways that they might like to be supported.

I'm speaking specifically about the voting record in this thread - THIS would make a devastating ad.

1. I have a feeling that
Biden will be the one that will hammer him pretty hard on his voting record ref to Veterans issues.

2. This would not be that hard to put together
Joys and wonders of YouTube. What specifically would you like to see in it? And favorite images you would want included? I need a new project for the 21st century!

3. His voting record alone should do it.
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 06:00 PM by DCKit
I don't think there's a favorite (D) issue or cause he's not opposed. When he bothered to show up for work, that is. His attendance record wouldn't help him much - what is it, like 50%? Us non-elites get fired over that kind of shit AND lose our benefits.

Oh, and the triple-dip Senate/Navy disability/Social Security tied to his free and unlimited health care perks aren't going to help him with most Americans.

Lots of gratuitous Batman "POW" graphics would lighten the mood.

5. A guy who has all those free health benefits denying his comrades
That is pretty cold.

He must have been a terrible officer to his men. Who would want to serve under him?

6. He actually commanded men?
His flight crew, maybe.

But I don't think someone who graduated at the bottom of his class would have been given a squardron to command.
