Amazing!!!!

This guy is a genuine hero and now he has to relive what the Rove machine did to him in 2000.

Cindy McCain became a drug addict after surgery on her spine. The rest of it won't fly. He's a hero. You don't have to vote for him, but he is a hero.

If these people support Huckabee, I wouldn't be surprised to see a backlash.

(I think* thats the story you waned linked)


This group 'Vietnam Veterans Against McCain' is a group in name only...its basically this guy Jerry Kiley and another named Ted Sampley.
They did the same thing against Kerry in 2004 'Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry'


Frankly I think they area couple of slightly unhinged attention whores.




//////////////////////////////////



On an unrelated really side side note-

The Sampley guy whom the AP never mentions in their article has been bashing McCain since around 1995 or so...roughly 10 years.
This Jerry Kiley guy did this same thing with Sampley to Kerry in 2004.

Yet in the article..note the underlined..."who said"..well crap I can say I'm Santa Claus on th ephone too you boobs.
In all this time they don't even know if he is a Vietnam Vet?

At the top of the article its

Well lets just say they are both vets and then contradict ourselves later in the same article!..editors?..or do they use them anymore?


This is what our News has become....substandard factless words on paper that would be rejected as tripe in the past...in some cases little more then opinion pieces.

It doesn't matter if you can find out that they did know he was a vet or whatnot..the article was published as is and thats the rub.

i have had two occassions to deal with sampley. the above cites will provide two opinions of him. i have not seen documentation that rove was behind the swiftboating ... it appears likely sampley was

normally, when rove works his dirty deeds, he can walk on snow and leave no prints
samply is less covert in his actions

if you have any interest in the background of an individual who is behind the slurs of that American patriot, McCain, read those cites

Agreed. McCain is a genuine hero. I have some problems with him on certain issues, and I think he has some character flaws, but I would not dispute his hero status.

And when all is said and done, he's not my first choice as nominee. Yet I find him acceptable, and will support him if he is, as I certainly consider him far preferable to any Democrat in the running.

So, what did Sampley do, exactly? Or I mean, why would h want to go after McCain?

Good luck with this smear campaign. If McCain isn't a hero there are no heroes left.

What did the Rove machine do to him? I dont recall Bush attacking McCain's military record. Only Kerry's.



I'd vote for him, but he isnt my first choice. He is Republican where it really matters though.



Huckabee creeps me out.

Aside from the fact I disagree with Huckabee a lot, I don't think it's wise to have a president who thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old and creationism is a valid scientific viewpoint. We elected one hayseed already. We cannot elect another.
