‘I’m Proud of My Record of Service’: McCain Calls Clark Attack ‘Unnecessary’

"The important thing is that if that's the kind of campaign that Sen. Obama and his surrogates and his supporters want to engage in, I understand that. But it doesn't reduce the price of a gallon of gas by one penny. It doesn't achieve our energy independence or make it come any closer."

Here’s McCain on the price of gas:

“John McCain Doesn’t Know the Price of Gas/Can’t Remember the Last Time He Bought Any”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kelly/john-mccain-doesnt-know-t_b_109601.html

Now McCain did go to the Naval academy and graduated 895th out of 899 graduates with the help of his Admiral father. So he is not too book smart… He seems to have spent most of his time partying and drinking himself blind… He discounts his Naval training as “Bulls***!”.

His flight instructor had this to say:

“I was John McCain’s Navy Flight Instructor — in formation tactics and air-to-air-gunnery. I could write a book about this man. Suffice to state, I shudder (and I’m fearless) at the nightmare thought of this man becoming our next President and Commander in Chief. ”

While managing to crash five plans in his short career, He also did manage to spend a whole 20 hours in combat (or at least flying in enemy territory). For which he got 28 medals like the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Three Bronze Stars, Plus a few dozen others… A far cry from the cowards that spent like 7000 hours in combat and did not get any medals at all… They had the wrong daddy…

He ignored the SAM missile warning system in his plane and flew in a nice straight line making the SAM missile hit easy and got shot down and captured. He had the best missile detection system on his plan at the time which apparently turned out to be a waste of taxpayer money.
As Donald Rumsfeld would say, he was “uncomfortable” after being captured, so he offered military information the the NVA. But the Vietcong really got excited when he told them he was the son of Admiral McCain:

Of course, then he got relatively great treatment since he was then a gold mine to the Vietcong. McCain then went on to give some nice talks and interviews for the Vietcong earning himself the title “songbird”…

When he got home he proceeded to go out and commit adultery and finally found his rich trophy wive Cindy. But that is a different story…

McCain is proud of is record just like he is proud of voting against the GI Bill. McCain ask his friends in Vietnam not to release any information they have on POWs. The North Vietnamese happily sealed those records for their best friend in the US government – John McCain.

Of course John McCain is proud of his service. Nothing like a good brainwashing mixed with old age to cloud his very flexible little mind as to the truth…

Is it just me or is Cindy milf material?

Once you get past the face peels.

Hussein Obama is simply an unpatriotic dolt and for his campaign to make these foolish, false, unfair statements shows just how much of a bufoon Hussein is. He has NO,NO,NO qualifications to be leader of the US. A state legislator is peanuts compared to McCains experience. Poor strategy and poor qualities make for poor character, something this country does not need. Flippity floppity, flipper flopper, floppsey flippsey, plopp.

To even be in the NAVAL ACADEMY is an honor. These are the best, of the Navy. Just to be considered is a achievement .A Harvard affirmative action hero,NO !I am proud of John McCain. I am ashamed of obama,he is a joke.

Hussein in the Membrain   June 30th, 2008 - 7:45 pm

all of you people suggesting that Barack is Muslim do not understand the concept of patriotism. you are un-American, weak-minded fools.

Jack   June 30th, 2008 - 7:48 pm

“Is it just me or is Cindy milf material?”

Ah yes, the profound and deep thought of an Obama backer.

Hussein in the Membrain   June 30th, 2008 - 7:50 pm

by the way, Clark did NOT criticize McCain’s service record. He simply questioned how relevant it should be.

Can we remind ourselves for one moment that Gore and Kerry both served while Bush did not?

How come McCain’s military service is SO significant, while Bush’s lack of it was not?

Jack   June 30th, 2008 - 7:51 pm

“http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-kelly/john-mccain-doesnt-know-t_b_109601.html”

LOL! Using quotes from the Huffington Post. That’s like quoting from Mad Magazine. Are you libs really that shallow? LOL!

Hussein in the Membrain   June 30th, 2008 - 7:53 pm

Jack,
why is it shallow to quote the Huffington Post? Its a serious and highly read blog. She was on Meet The Press on Sunday.

Jack   June 30th, 2008 - 7:53 pm

“Can we remind ourselves for one moment that Gore and Kerry both served while Bush did not?”

SHHHHHH…let you in on a little secret: I know it will come as a surprise to you, but Bush isn’t running in ‘08. You might want to spread this news to your brain-washed friends.

Jack   June 30th, 2008 - 7:56 pm

“Jack,

They have to have somebody from that left on that show to keep balance. She was probably the best they could get.

Hussein in the Membrain   June 30th, 2008 - 8:15 pm

“SHHHHHH…let you in on a little secret: I know it will come as a surprise to you, but Bush isn’t running in ‘08. You might want to spread this news to your brain-washed friends.”

Let me tell you a little secret. Reason and truth are vital in any election. You are the one trying to spew whatever brainwash b.s. you can come up with that you think will help.

Hussein in the Membrain   June 30th, 2008 - 8:15 pm

“Bush isn’t running in ‘08″

Oh yeah, by the way, maybe you didn’t figure this part out when they were trying to teach you how democracy works, but even though Bush isn’t running, his party is, and the reason they are going to loose is because that’s what happens after 08 years of screwing things up royally.

I remember the normal but disgusting right wing machinery lie attacks on Kerry. (winner of 3 purple hearts and a silver star.)And Kerry let them do it.
Fact..bush received ZERO honors. He was NOT even awarded the National Defense Ribbon after 5 1/2 years of shamming. No country has a soldier with a record like that. And lies..made him CIC of our military.
Did you see a man who “soloed” with bush? Unbelievable he sold you that.
I did Nam..infantry in the delta. Some days they would come into the platoon and say ‘eagle flight’ or go ‘night abush.’ But it was “take the boats tonight” that caused my arm hair to stand even today. Kerry would protect us as we went. Worst job in VN…Bar None.

Propaganda works!
Its Truth..that McCain’s service is pure worthless.
Whether you fight the mean ol commies like me, or fight innocent people for the bush Bunch…
No war service makes you a man.

Looks to me like McCain’s MILF’s hair is getting “Pretty thin up there”!!!

Time for her to go steal more narcotics!

Maybe McCain will lie for her again:

This just in:

Obama: Looking for a running mate with a military service record, to help reinforce his foreign relations and anti-terrorism policy.

McCain: Looking for a running mate that is certified in C.P.R.

Blue Gums Obama   July 1st, 2008 - 4:32 pm

Gore served? LOL. He had a BODYGUARD in Nam!!!!! He lied about action he saw! And we all how Kerry put himself up for medals and also RAN when under attack.

Gore was in Nam for 6 months! Bush was in the guard for 6 years flying jet fighters. And you want to tell me Gore has a better service record?

What qualifications does Grand Inquisitor, Ariana Huffington have??? NONE, except for getting a bunch of money from her wealthy gay ex husband. Did she become a loyal informed American by being born and raised in Greece? What gives her the right to put everyone else under the microscope and be so critical? We should put Arianna Huffington under the microscope!!!
