One good thing about telling a lie for some people, is they do not have to remember the truth.

Problem is…most of MY FRIENDS and PEERS died in THAT WAR-so there isn’t really anyone to colloborate his “fiction”

Oh, COME ON Derward Bowles! You can’t tell me his name is really Swindle. I refuse to believe it, it’s just too delicious.

Hardly workin, I wondered about the sand bit also, but gave the benefit of the doubt that there may have been sand in the location Mcsane might have been held at. Like maybe close to the ocean so it would be easier to water torture all those pows, since John sees nothing wrong with that, I figured he must have seen it done in his “war days”.

Yeah, but in the heat of battle, things get distorted.  WhattaboutHillary?

Do you think Cindy McCain’s arm is really hurting?

Hey DaveinBigPine, I’ve been asking that as well.  I have concluded that, if Obama can’t effectivly expose McSame for what he is, then Obama’s probably not qualified to be president.

The Dems are a pathetic bunch of losers if they allow this to continue.

In my college days I learned to fly so I could fly Phantom Jets off of aircraft carriers and drop bombs on the communist Vietnamese.  I was not a Christian then.  I look back in horror that I could have killed innocent people on the ground.  Luckily I was declared 4-F when I went for my physical.  I could not fly.  As I grew older, I now realize that the Viet Nam War was a lie.  I do not believe a true Christian would have put oneself in a position to kill others from far above.  I do not believe a true Christian would glorify such actions.  There may be innocent people dead because of his bombs.  I could not call myself a Hero because I was shot out of the air.  A Hero does what Eddy Murphy did.  Purposely jumping up onto a tank KNOWING he was going to be killed protecting his buddies.  He somehow survived.
But being a war hero does not a President make.  Especially one who does not witness the carnage of war.  I have had Viet Nam War vets working for me that would make better Presidents than John McCain.  I’m sorry John McCain that you did not learn from your experience that war is HELL.  And that you are ignorant of world politics.  No where in the Bible have I ever read where Christ, as he walked the earth, ever commanded another person to kill another.

A Viet Nam vet who is a high school civic teacher would be a better President than John McCain.  And better than Obama too. 

I am a Republican who does not vote Republican just because I am registered that way.  I vote for whoever stands for truth and not many of any of the politicians fit that bill.  Dennis Kucinich comes the closest.

I don’t know which is worse, that there are people retarded enough to feel better about McCain because he saw someone draw a cross in the dirt, or dailykos for being upset enough about it to research it.

Dave in BP - Obama doesn’t because McCain’s ‘story’ is about all that resonates about him with the American people.  In other words, it’d be political suicide for Obama to call out this “songbird.”

Then again, in ‘04 the fickle public voted into office a chicken-shit instead of a genuine war hero.  Go figure.

It just sounded so fake and so contrived, so I did a little research about it. Someone on here said it sounded like a scene from Ben-Hur, so I did a google search about Ben-Hur and cross in the sand and such. No dice. But I searched around a little bit more and here is what I found. A story about Alexander Solzhenitsyn from his times in the Soviet Gulags.

  Right church, wrong pew.(Sorry,I couldn’t resist). You might be referring to “Demetrius & The Gladiators, where Ernest Borgnine as a roman something or other draws the symbol for a fish in the sand to let Victor Mature(My Idol) know that he’s a christian.

John has lived with Cindy too long. You know she has plagiarized recipes more than once recently for some of her cook books, which include the stolen recipes of Rachel Ray, that Cindy claims to have been in her family for generations. Must have morphed to John as well.

Yes, for a person who feels it is wrong to abort a fetus that might have the potential to become a human being, yet he feels it is perfectly fine and dandy to kill thousands to millions in wars and that is fine with their brand of God. Funny how the religious right see no wrong with this fact. But maybe it is fine with them, as most those killed are not their brand of religious belief, so therefore it doesn’t count.

John the undecided keeps changing his mind-provided he still has one- or maybe he just cannot remember or understand what he says, reads and signs as he has lied about almost everything that comes out of his mouth, even the day after he says it, or else he evades the answer or stares up and off to the left as if looking for the idiot card to tell him what to say. This cross in the sand story if just that, another tall tale tolf by some delusional person looking for brownie points.

John is just another giant bloodsucking political thief, perhaps a cross will finally destroy this human vampire who gets rich off of the poor and a free pass for all of his crimes against humanity.

The fifth commandment reads simply and clearly: “Thou shalt not kill”. Rick Warren as a supposed man of God should have questioned John McCain and Barack Obama if invading a country in false pretenses and killing and maiming thousands if not millions of people is murder.

Did John McCain “Borrow” His “Cross In The Sand” Story?

“I report, you decide. Transcript from the forum last night here.

It just sounded so fake and so contrived, so I did a little research about it. Someone on here said it sounded like a scene from Ben-Hur, so I did a google search about Ben-Hur and cross in the sand and such. No dice. But I searched around a little bit more and here is what I found. A story about Alexander Solzhenitsyn from his times in the Soviet Gulags.

(snip)

As he waited, head down, he felt a presence. Slowly he looked up and saw a skinny old prisoner squat down beside him. The man said nothing. Instead, he used a stick to trace in the dirt the sign of the Cross. The man then got back up and returned to his work.

As Solzhenitsyn stared at the Cross drawn in the dirt his entire perspective changed. He knew he was only one man against the all-powerful Soviet empire. Yet he knew there was something greater than the evil he saw in the prison camp, something greater than the Soviet Union. He knew that hope for all people was represented by that simple Cross. Through the power of the Cross, anything was possible.

Excerpted from “The Gulag Archipelago” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, three volumes published 1973–1978.”

What I don’t understand is why Obama doesn’t just call out this “songbird” once and for all on his supposed “heroic” status. If McMoron objects, invite him to release his sealed POW records for all to see and judge. Show him for the liar that he is. Show him for the phony that he is.
McSenile is the best the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foriegn Relations can do? If they get this guy in the White House, they are truly the omnipotent force on this planet.
