This is John McCain
Talk about putting your most valuable where your mouth is! Apparently
this was not "newsworthy" enough for the media to comment about. Can either of
the other presidential candidates truthfully come close to this? ....
Just a question for each of us to seek an answer and not a statement.
You see...character is what's shown when the public is not looking. There
were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read about, and
the story comes from one person in New Hampshire.
One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the New
Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip cookies
and a heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential debate,
when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring American soldiers
home soldiers like her brother, who had been killed in action a few months earlier.
Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought his
youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the Marine
Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear more
about Ms. Flanagan's brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army First
Lieutenant killed by an ambush ... a roadside bomb.
No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face
similar perils. 'I can't imagine what it must have been like for them as
they were coming to meet with a family that ......' Ms. Flanagan recalled, choking
up. 'We lost a dear one,' she finished.
Mr. McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has staked his
candidacy on the promise that American troops can bring stability to
Iraq. What he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who
spent seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father's
New Hampshire victory
in January while he was digging a stuck military vehicle out of the mud.
Two of Jimmy's three older brothers went into the military. Doug McCain,
48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from the Naval
Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if elected, could
become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower with a son at war.
I chose to share this with those who I believe will pass it on, to others
who will pass it on. We hear so much inflated trash out there. How about
a simple act of kindness ... and dedication to others placed above oneself?
Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The American
Armed Services?
This is for all you Barack voters.
From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope: These are his words for everyone
to read........
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an
ugly
direction."
HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS!!!!!"Treat everyone with dignity and respect....but always be prepared to shoot 'em!"

Re: This is John McCain
I thought it was a good article too.
John is a man who comes from a solid militiary background...something America needs to combat and erradicate the filthy terrorists and other floatsam that has the audacity to hold the free world to terror.
Why, in all that is sacred, would anyone vote for a muslim loving nigger? Has America gone completely mad?
America needs a real man like John, not some fancy assed coon who thinks he knows how to protect our white country.
John would be a true superhero.

Hey...at least if John McCain says something you don't like all you have to do is wait for his next talks.
He's guaranteed to flip flop more than a fish out of water baking in the Florida sun.
You know you want one.

Re: This is John McCain
Great... McCain has military experience and a son who might be fighting in the war... what are his other qualifications? In his life, he's only done two things... carry a gun for the military, and take money as a politician... Most of his most noble efforts have blown up in his face...
After being part of the "keating five", mccain decided to push campaign finance reforms via eliminating soft money... A couple years after that failed, Mccain found himself in trouble AGAIN for taking money from corporations directly under his authority as the chairman of the senate commerce committee.
One of his biggest career wins, the Line item Veto Act of1996 was declared unconstitutional 2 years later.
The thing that makes McCain most unelectable is the fact that he's sold out all of his ideals to be the republican party lap dog... For 15 years, he had a reputation as a strict idealist who voted his conscience, and took a very moderate position on most issues... Since 2004, that's all changed. The LAST thing this country needs is a president who'll pander to the whims of the republican party.
Edit: Just so you don't think I'm a hater... I actually wrote McCain in as my presidential candidate in BOTH of the previous two presidential elections.. However, I won't be voting for him this year, even though Obama is hardly a good candidate.

Re: This is John McCain
I'm voting for Obama because I absolutely refuse to support the republican party. McCain used to be a symbol that the Republican party wasn't COMPLETELY corrupted, but all he's proven in the past 4 years is the exact opposite.
