Call me crazy but I know plenty of folks to be gay without them being gay "toward me"

One might perhaps forgive a POW for ascribing unsavory or unflattering traits to his jailers. Of course, now that McCain wants to be President, what he now thinks about gays is highly relevant. As is the question of whether he will be carrying any personal grudges with him into the most powerful political office in the world.

He sure seems to bring up his time in the Hanoi Hilton an awful lot, so I don't think the question of whether he's fully over that traumatic experience should be out-of-bounds.

The fact of the matter, here, is that none of them were gay. He's just being a crazy grandpa. (Fabricating everything with touches of bigotry and a dash of Reagalzheimer's)

"One time I had a hell of a hemorrhoid and I stewed about it for about three days. Finally, I said, "Look, McCain, you've never known of a single guy who died of a hemorrhoid." So I just ignored it as best I could, and after a few months it went away"

you CANNOT attack a war hero who was beaten, starved, caged for YEARS

and then expect him to recount his experience like it was every day

the American public will not reward Obama folks if that is what they are trying to do

Or could it be . . . no, no, couldn't be . . . but I must ask . . . could it be you're full of shit?

Of course the were sucking and fucking as much as they could ... most of them

Of course the camp commanders had butt boys, American and Asian, that they shared and partied with.

Of course, it is the prison model by a factor of three or four.

MSM is the perfect term - and since the officers in charge held all the cards, I doubt they were shy about their pretty butt boys and good opium.

Oh, I forgot, gay is only allowed in modern America defined by shopping, drinking, rainbow jewelry, and keeping skinny. Get a clue, you all.

If you've ever watched any interviews with combat vets(especially 'nam vets), or even talked with one of our soldiers who did a tour in Vietnam, they're the first to admit that the situations there f'ed with their mind in irreversible manners.

We often see news reports of veterans who recall the 'flashbacks' of these terrible times and then 'go crazy' with rash and/or illegal actions that sometimes involve the killing of innocents at their hands.

If McCain was so traumatized by his experience, why would we even consider electing him? Why are we not hammering him with the concerns that his tortured soul could lead to a mental meltdown in office?

Surely, the abuse that he withstood at the hands of his tormentors (be they homosexual or not)would cause any one of us to lose our shit. Why is half of America willing to risk granting this man the greatest amount of power on the planet?

I fully respect him for fighting for our country, as I do all other military veterans. However, McCain's brain is a potential mine field - ask any vet who went through anything close to what he did. His selective memory is only the tip of the iceberg. When will the media start interviewing psychiatrists to really discuss his mental stability? 2.5 months till election day folks...

Nice white young and good looking American fly boy officer ass, noted family, you bet, with sticks, guns, any number of humiliation gadgets, and and a big number of guards cocks.

Rape, not fucking at all. You are a stupid hot house nit wit.

Because you know his comrade Karl Marx Rove and the rest of the krewe are going to go as dirty as they can.

Did anyone else notice he's surrounding himself with really really old people - you know, 70s, 80s - to try to make himself look better?

I agree with the comments saying that it's probably a losing bet to appear to be picking on a guy who was tortured for his country. But there's got to be a way to pose the PTSD question if he keeps bringing this shit up every minute. If he wants people to believe he's moved on and that he isn't seething with white-hot anger and fantasies of revenge every minute of every day, he needs to quit referencing it as the major defining event of his life.

A ten by any measure, and in dress whites would be the talk of any bar in Seattle or SFO or NYC on any night.

Look at the old pix. He was a dish fifty years ago.

Need to run a race based on Obama's messages, not on random attacks from political neophytes which mean nothing ... counter Mc Cain on policy ... he stinks on most issues, and not the least is that he will use nukes.

Playing to non voters, all those old people.

And surely , none of the old people donate money, do they?

There is a rumor that there are millions and millions of them in Florida, Arizona, and California. Really? Is that true? Sun birds or something.

Oh, dear, I thought touring high schools and scout camps and skate parks is how you win elections ...

Why not? Americans rewarded Bush for the lazy, 4F assholes at the Republican Convention wearing Purple Heart bandaids. Republicans turned Kerry's war record, with no evidence that he lied about a damn thing, against him. McCain is lying through his teeth and pulling the POW card whenever he's criticized for anything. His service and his lies about it are fair game.

whereas obama will have to say over & over that his is not a muslim.
