The Two Men Who Saved McCain’s Life in That Cell

Bud Day was also one of the Swiftboaters, let’s not forget. While he saved John McCain’s life, he peddled lies to the American people and smeared a fellow veteran, John Kerry, who received a Purple Heart for his own acts of heroism.

THE POW CARD JUMPED THE SHARK A LONG TIME AGO! THERE WAS NO SUBSTANCE, NO ACTUAL TALK OF HOW HE WOULD ACOMPLISH ALL OF THE PLATITUDES! MOST NOTABLE WAS THE CO OPTING OF ALL OF OBAMA’S MESSAGES AND TALK OF CHANGE! THIS SPEECH WAS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED…NOTHING!

Roxanne,
As a Democrat and son of a World War II hero, I find John McCain’s experience very humbling and moving. I’m personally proud of his character and what he demonstrated by not breaking while in that 5 1/2 years of hell. It doesn’t change how I’m going to vote, I’m voting based on policy differences, although I find Obama barely acceptable when it comes to character.

Hasn’t he had 26 years to “get Washington thinking about the people.”
What people has he been thinking about for 26 years is the question.

“Sure, Shell… and if you believe that I have a Bridge to Nowhere to sell you!”
Barry and Biden are on the bridge to nowhere.
Country first always

Truly impressive — this year is becoming the redemption of the GOP. It is the President McCain to be!

By the way, he keeps talking about knowing how to win a war, which is BS! Does he realize that we lost Viet Nam? This we can win in Iraq is BS! We’ve already lost. We went in for WMD’s that weren’t there. We’re spending 12 billion a month when Iraq has a 79 billion dollar surplus. We’re looking like the biggest idiots in the world and we’re being played. It’s time to get out. McCain is already setting us up to invade Iran! Enough! We’ve got our own domestic problems that have gone unchecked for 8 years!

McCain did our country good by serving in the military but so did many others I appreciate that he served.But it is time to start hearing his visions for the country.There was nothing said that was very moving.We are not living for the past but for the future.McCain sounded like he was tired tonight.While Palin sounded tough she did not say anything about any issues that really have an effect on the average American.I don’t think they have any clue how much people are hurting by this economy.

McCain says to stand up and fight against partisan rancor. So that’s what I plan to do.
Like the partisan rancor when pitt-bull palin made that sarcastic quip about Obama’s community organizing for 3 years after college?
So what did Palin do for 3 years after college?
Turns out she need a 5th year of college and was either unemployed or working as a sportscaster and or part time fishing. Are you impressed, self-adoring right wing patriots?
Obama was an organizer, sure. For 3 years after college.
Was Palin president of the harvard law review?
Is she a constitutional law scholar?
A state senator for 8 years?
A civil rights attorney?
A US Senator?
A battle-tested candidate for President who endured 2 years and challenged one of the most storied families in American public life?
How many votes make you mayor of Wasilly anyway (pop 5000)?
Living in a glass house? Hypocrites. Keep your partisan-rancor to yourselves!

Obama”s supporters responded to the RNC speeches by sending money to their candidate. They have not learned .. he out-spent Hillary Clinton in many big states 4 and 5-1 .. and she still beat him. Money does not change his razor-thin resume … or his lack of work in both the state senate in Illinois and the U.S. Senate. His voting record is abysmal. Palin got one thing really right … he has written 2 books about himself … and has written absolutely no significant legislation! He was “present” .. and that”s about it. So … save your gas and grocery $$$ libs!!
The choice is: war hero or senate zero

will wrote: “How many votes make you mayor of Wasilly anyway (pop 5000)?”
…. how many times did no-bami vote “present” … and who voted for him as “community organizer” … which he probably got through affirmative action since he had no experience!

“John Kerry, who received a Purple Heart for his own acts of heroism.”
Kerry’s mistake was throwing his medal away. Can’t imagine what he was going through at the time, although it came back to bite him in the.

furthermore…. who will it be left standing when Obama is embarrassed in November? HILLARY! Who will win decrying 12 yrs of republican rule of the white house … sound familiar … a Clinton… it was planned this way you know it Not to say polticians are maniplulative… but no Obama had to go this time and make the narrative evn more perfect than it couldve been if Hillary just won in a walk against mccain this time… you people need to wake up and start learning how poltics works!

McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time. He’s got a great POW story and is a great american. That was then, this is now.
We’ve been run into the ditch by these fools over the last 8 years. Are you going to vote for them again?
You know what you call doing the same thing over and over and then expecting a different result?
INSANITY

led
Bush/Cheney et al were never really in charge the last 8 yrs it was the interests like big oil and the military industrial complex… Mccain is neither and he would be the the first president since George HW Bush to have served in the military

mgks
and name something that Obama put his name on that didnt carry millions of dollars back to IL? nothing! or should I say zero… zero… zero!

At least John McCain HAS a real life story to tell.
Obama always seems to have someone else’s……………………….

Will somebody tell me just what the heck “voted with Bush x% of the time” even means?! You can’t vote “with” the president, as he doesn’t actually vote, nor does he introduce legislation. Furthermore, as Bush rarely utilized the veto, pretty much any legislation that passed must have been a vote “with” Bush, regardless of political affiliation.
So what the heck is this talking point really suggesting? That he voted with the Republican party most of the time? How many politicians don’t vote with their party most of the time?
Frankly, this whole “voted with Bush” business is one of the dumbest political tropes I’ve ever encountered.

A low performer both as
a student and later as a
navy fighter pilot, McCain
has built his whole persona
on false POW torture stories shamelessly promoting
himslef as a war hero and
guardian of the nation’s
security. And he continues
with the blatant charade
without end.

wel Obama is so smart it seems he outsmarted himself… hes history as of this point too bad for u!

I believe the GOP truly thinks they have a winning strategy by putting lipstick on an old elephant and let that trumpet ‘Change’ as loud as it can.
Cartoonists will have a fieldday with this in the coming days.
Nobody will be fooled.
Their ‘solutions’ are still the same and we already know they didn’t work.
Lipstick won’t cut it.

God Bless George “Bud” Day and Norris Overly!!!!
America owes you a debt of gratitude!!!! Thank you for everything you’ve done!

McCain has every right to tell his POW story. Not only did he suffer for 5 years (what have you done of significance for this country for even ONE DAY?), he did it for service. As did all veterans, and it would not be enough to thank them every single day. It is what these brave men and women have done that allows you to sit at your computer and freely insult them. YOu OWE all these veterans your gratitude, so you have a lot of nerve sitting there saying you are tired of his stories. What story do YOU have to tell of what you have done for your fellow man?
mcCain’s and Cindy’s life stories brought me to tears. Lives of service, think of how many lives they have changed? And the legacy continues with their children committment to service as well. Palin’s son is deploying to Iraq also, God bless them all.
Obama? went to a racist and antiAmerican church for 20 years. Has done nothing for the service of this country (“community organizer” nobody knows what that is. Is that even a job at career day?).
Who is the patriot? Who is the hero? It astounds me that anyone can even think of being in the same room as that trash Obama, much less voting for him.

The “Swiftboaters” decidedly did NOT tell lies. They told the truth by the ACTUAL men who commanded, served with and served under John Kerry. It is only revisionists on the left and the media (which I know is redundant) that have woven the “lying” tale. Read the book Unfit for Command. Kerry is the biggest Elmer Gantry of American politics, but is soon to be eclipsed by “The Annointed One”.

The only man who “saved” McCain was his interrogator Bui Tin, who McCain steupfyingly EMBRACED at the POW hearings while berating and screaming at the familes of POWS who were in tears begging McCain NOT to close the investigation into the demise of or reported cases of some still surviving POWS being sold as slave labor to countries like China, Russia, and other parts of Southeast Asia WHERE THEY REMAIN TO THIS DAY!!! (American Free Press) Maybe that is why McCain has repeatedly flown into a rage when POWS have asserted that they were interrogated by Soviets while in captive. I don’t know what McCain is trying to hide, but it sure STINKS something awful. And I would vote for the second coming of Herbert Hoover before I give my vote to that despicable individual of the worst kind, named John McCain.

What a great man of exemplerary character!
Given the choice between a do nothing Washington insider and a completely inexperienced elitist compared to a team of mavericks, I’ll go for the team that’s called out their own party.
