What the hell was all the controversy about Kerry's war record?

Well, that about sums it up-GREAT POST-Did you happen to catch Keith Olbermans countdown Monday.August 18,he just slammed mccain in his special comment segment. My only objection here is it is not swift-boating if it is all true,I feel just in the last couple of days,the tide is turning,OBAMA is getting tougher on mccain on his stumps and more people are bashing mccain ,it's about time. Of course,it didn't help mccain's cause to bash msnbc's Andrea Mitchell. MSNBC is not in the tank for mccain like fox news is.So watch out mccain,all your past ills are catching up to you.Thank god for small favors

And tonight you are going to see mccain at his greatest,lying straight faced to the camera,I just watched a preview clip on CNN about their 'MCCAIN and OBAMA REVEALED" segment that is airing tonight. The interviewer asks mccain if he was divorced before he applied for a marriage license-
MCAIN:YES
Interviwer: That is not what the court papers say
MCAIN: That was 30 years ago,I am happily married.
For the zero tolerance we seem to have with our politicians and their adultery,how in the world did mccain ever get elected to the Senate in the first place,Oh, yeah, wife Cindy's money! Well lets not let her money buy him the white house. What a loser!

So McCain is STILL LYING ABOUT THE EMBARRASSING TIMELINE OF HIS TACKY AFFAIR WITH A MILLIONAIRESS.

Never expected anything less from that lying sack of sh!t.

Here's the link about mccain not really being tortured.After watching Mccain REVEALED on cnn last night,here is my opinion of what I watched
Mccain is lying adulterer-mccain's daddy got him into the NAVY-he was not qualified to be flying a plane-his broken arms and legs were the result of the airplane crash,not torture like his ads would lead one to believe-and according to bush it wasn't even torture-And according to another article in the link I provided,mccain lifted the line about the cross story he told at the forum from an old book by a russian author that he obviously thought nobody else would read-The Keating controvercy-proof that mccain can and did get paid off for favors.WOW-we have the scum of the earth (mccain) running for pres and it astounds me that he even has 1 supporter-He is not a war hero,it was all bought and paid for.

You bring up a good point that McCain is not a military "hero" in any sense.

He was a crappy pilot, crashing FIVE planes.

His last crash got him caught by the enemy.

While a POW, he collaborated with the North Vietnamese by confessing to war crimes.

Where's the "hero" in that?

I am very surprised that we are not hearing more about the cnn segment, "Mcain and OBAMA revealed-"all they are talking about is how many houses mccain owns and OBAMAS VP choice. Mcain needs to be called out on the carpet for SHAME -How can he sleep at night knowing his whole military experience was nothing but partying and hangovers,and if one were to believe that there was no adultery or drug use while he was in the military ,well I have a bridge to sell you,....

I remember how, four years ago, several people on several forums tore the swiftboat allegations to shreds, and still people are touting it as the "truth."

Go figure.
