After all the hell the repugs raised over Clinton’s BJ they have the audacity to endorse McCain whose background is like a barrel of maggots!
John McCain, Bush clone, fraud, betrayer, womanizer and with crime family connection!
THIS LECHEROUS OLD FRAUD IS THE BEST THE GOP HAS TO OFFER?
Well, at least he is a true representative of GOP “FAMILY VALUES”!
John McCain III attended a private boarding school, where he was nicknamed “McNasty” for his willingness to fight. Later, at the US Naval Academy, he gained a reputation as a ladies’ man, complained that he was picked on by his commanding officer, and graduated 894th out of 899 in his class.
His father was a four-star admiral in the US Navy, as was his grandfather. The first Admiral McCain was commander of all US carriers in the Pacific during World War II, stood at attention on the USS Missouri when the Japanese surrendered, and died of a heart attack four days later. The second Admiral McCain was CINCPAC (Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Command) of all US forces in Vietnam. A McCain ancestor served on George Washington‘s staff during the Revolutionary War, and after the family had relocated to Mississippi several McCains fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. His mother, a wealthy oil heiress, has been described as “the Auntie Mame of Navy wives.” The family still chuckles about the day she went on an errand to buy a new dress, and came home with a new Mercedes instead.
After flight training, young McCain flew A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft in the Vietnam war. On his 23rd mission, an October 1967 attack on a Hanoi power plant, his plane was shot down, and McCain, with three broken bones, was imprisoned in the famous “Hanoi Hilton”. Under duress, he was interviewed by French reporters, and told them he was treated well. In an interview broadcast as propaganda in Hanoi, McCain said he had bombed civilian targets. He was offered early release because of his father’s high rank, and McCain says he considered it but declined. After that, he was tortured for four days, until he signed a confession: “I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pirate. I almost died and the Vietnamese people saved my life, thanks to the doctors.” Of his more than five years in prisoner-of-war camps, about two of those years were spent in solitary confinement.
After the war McCain needed extensive surgery to repair the clumsy, cruel medical treatment he had received from his captors, and he underwent years of physical therapy to be able to walk normally. He remains unable to lift his arms over his head. Political opponents have spread rumors that his imprisonment left McCain emotionally damaged as well, but that is apparently a lie. His military medical records show that military doctors were impressed by his quick psychological recovery.
Nobody sane questions that McCain went through hell in Vietnam, or belittles his torture and abuse. For his military service, McCain won the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Legion of Merit, Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross. But other American prisoners of war who cooperated with their Vietnamese captors to a lesser degree than McCain faced prosecution for violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and were given less than honorable discharges.
My wife and I read through McCain’s bios a few months back and a few things stuck out.
1. He was an unstable asshole long before he went to Vietnam.
2 He ditched his injured wife for a young girl and used her rich daddy’s money to run for Congress.
3. The reason he was known to the public was because Nixon used his return for prowar photo-ops.
4.He has been crafting the maverick reformer image only after he got busted with Keating in 92.
I already didn’t like him because of some of the thing he’s done since becoming chairman of the Senate Indian Affair Committee, including helping oil companies swindle east coast tribes out of hundreds of billions in unpaid leases.
Here’s the connection most people don’t notice. The previous SIAC chairman resigned after the Jack Abramhoff scandal surfaced in 2004. McCain was promoted and put in charge of the Abramhoff trial. One month after gaining access to all the GOPs dirty secrets he was with Bush on the campaign trail getting kissed on the head. Every detail regarding the scandal that the public was not allowed to see was classified personally by John McCain.

Thanks Bear, I have that and a whole lot more I will be posting. He is so “bush” I think their DNA should be checked! LOL His present wife has a wormy past too. The GOP has started launching their attacks on Obama’s wife over racist writings she did in college so Cindy’s past if fair game too.
