Thread: Clark on McCain. Agree or disagree?

I agree with Clark's assertion that being a veteran isn't a prerequisite for becoming a good President but McCain's outstandinng service record can only enhance his abilities as President and Commander-in-Chief.

Inferring that McCain is a "war criminal" because he bombed targets in N Vietnam is ridiculous and a sign of desperation. Indeed, McCain flew through what at that time was the heaviest concerntration of AA in the world and he bombed legitimate targets.

I would agree with this, but one thing is funny, but is business-as-usual, when a military or ex-military person has a R after their name, they are praised by the Right, but when a military or ex-military has a D after their name, they are called every name in the book and shitted on. OR, if a military or ex-military with a R after their name has disagreed with or said some disparaging remarks about George W. Bush and this current administration, then they are called anti-American and Liberal-minded.

So it's a crock that Republicans respect all military personnel and just another bullshit bogus criteria that the Republicans claim to have.

It always comes down to the R and the D.

Sorry I got that wrong Migi, and I believe you!, but in my defense, your arguments are most of the time the same as Fox watching Republicans. Thats where I went wrong.

How about Webbs love of the confederacy, how will that set with some Obama supporters?

I hadn't heard that Confederacy thing, you mean he wants the south to rise again, has 2 million confederate dollars in his mattress?, slavery? maybe I'll just look it up on the net.
