Of course, if you point out the truth to McCain about his Iraq comments he'll scream at you until he is a tomato, unless he shoves you back first. Hahahaha.... McCain saying, 'civil'.... well, so long as EVERYTHING goes his way, I guess.

Calm down, smith. McCain isn't assaulting anyone. That's all happening in your imagination.

Is McCain actualy American? His bio says he was born in Panama, probably aboard some container ship.

What were his parents doing at the time? Anything illegal?

Has he explained why he was shot down and damaged so many planes in the war? - let's not forget he survived two airplane crashes and a collision with power lines, he escaped from his burning jet when he was stationed on the USS Forrestal flying A-4 Skyhawks, not to mention the infamous time he was shot down over Vietnam.

And talking planes, has Sen. McCain come clean on why he sold out Boeing jobs to Airbus last month? Who is he serving - Americans, or the Europeans?

And did he really "serve"? He was held as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years. Is that really "serving," or simply costing his country?

"The speeches touched only glancingly on issues likely to dominate the campaign, including the war in Iraq, which he supports, and the economy."

That would probably be because Sen. McCain doesn't have a plan to address the dominant issue of this election - the economy.

Divorcee Sen. McCain has a lot to explain before he gets anyone's vote.

Don't forget... he crashed a plane during training. I think it was six total.

And Sushi... being a POW is serving. There is really only one sacrifice greater than that, and that would be death.

No it shouldn't. I should be an in-your-face, cut and dry, straight up, and heated word debate!

"... has Sen. McCain come clean on why he sold out Boeing jobs to Airbus last month? Who is he serving - Americans, or the Europeans?"

To clarify, the difference in labor composition between the two offerings is 27%. 85% of the Boeing tanker is American. 58% of the EADS tanker is American. Thus, it fulfills existing DoD requirements for procurement.

"Is McCain actualy (sic) American? His bio says he was born in Panama, probably aboard some container ship."

Hmmm. So there's a McCain bio out there which says he was "probably born aboard some container ship" eh?

Got the link for that one?

I earlier posted how Mr. McCain is indeed a natural born American citizen according to U.S. law.

Heh, an American Bush supporter protesting about a lie.......made my day, that did :-)

Where did I lie RR? A presumption is not a lie.
