Nice.

You know, John McCain spent five and a half years of his life unable to play the POW card... in prison!

The insinuation that John McCain, a former POW, plays the former POW card, is ridiculous.

Very nice, but now we have to make a Magic: The Gathering-like version.

Someone with no life, please? We need this.

But did he win tree Purple Hearts??

McCain campaign speech making kit for surrogates and staffers

"____(noun)____ ____(verb)____ Prisoner of War."

Our election is "POW Card" vs ".5x Race Card"

TheDumbBlonde: But did he win tree Purple Hearts??

One doesn't "win" a purple heart.

Johnny One Note.

But the same would apply to anything you overuse. Not only will people tune out, but it rapidly loses all of its bearing when you apply it in increasingly irrelevant scenarios.

The Onanist: TheDumbBlonde: But did he win tree Purple Hearts??

Right, they give them out at Republican conventions. They're free.

He's like Bob Dole.

Only more corrupt and partisan.

I LOL'd!

DjangoStonereaver: He's like Bob Dole.

And without the sense of humor.

cameroncrazy1984: The insinuation that John McCain, a former POW, plays the former POW card, is ridiculous because he was a POW.

Now with more POW!

It's amazing to me that the retired general that runs Vets for Obama would be critical about John McCain. This is truly a shocking indictment.

GAT_00: Now with more POW!

The insinuation that John McCain, a former POW, is a former POW who plays the POW card to remind everyone that he was a POW is ridiculous. In fact, it is insulting to all former POWs including John McCain, a former POW.

/pow pow pow

I would pay money for someone to say, "Senator McCain: Did you allow the people who gave out purple heart bandaids at the last convention to plan YOUR convention?"

Doesn't matter. I'm swiping it anyway.

Clearly only Vets who support McCain have anything of value to say.

Yeah, isn't this guy aware that former POW John McCain, who was POW, was a POW?

Stupid commie Lt. General...

America-hating, three-star general? Seeing as how he writes for an anti-American outfit like Daily Kos, that description just might fit.

It's like he doesn't have to tap any of his land cards to use it either.

I'd say it takes at least a couple of blue mana:

hey hey heyyyyyy mccain is a POW, my friends

911? POW! 911? POW!

McCain / Guiliani 08

Given his rating with Veterans' organizations, that would sort of limit the pool...

"My friends, that's POW you can POW in."

I think I love you, and I'm not afraid there is no cure for it. Awesome.

If only this kerfuffle (hey, Robin Leach used it today) gets big coverage on the 24/7s...

Being a POW does earn you some respect, but not as much as serving in the Core.

The experts agree...




Running on your military experience is a surefire win!

Exploiting tragedy for political gain? Who told McCain that...

...oh.

Reporter: Mr. McCain what are you views on _______________?"

McCain: Thank you for asking my friend, I thought long and hard on that very subject when I WAS A POW"

whenever I hear about McCain using the POW excuse as to why he should be excused for doing something, I always get a mental image of a sheet with a hole in it.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept that it is considered to be an attribute for a potential president of the country to have been 1) shot down in the plane he was flying (in an idiotic war that we never should have engaged in and lost), 2) was held captive for over five years and ratted out his fellow soldiers after being tortured, and 3) was basically a brain dead zombie after he was rescued and had to be re-programmed for a year before he could function.

This, to me, is not a recipe for a stable personality to lead a country.

/I'm guessing its the 3rd dumbest in his naval academy class of 490 that has caught the imagination of the voters, though.

The John McCain experience (new window)

I would LOVE for a veterans' group to call him on this bullshiat.

I'd also love to win Powerball.

IXI Jim IXI: I'd also love to win Powerball

Thats POWerball

Spanky_McFarksalot: IXI Jim IXI: I'd also love to win Powerball

Thats POWerball

Oh jesus...I didn't even see that...

/hangs head in shame...

You don't talk that way about John McCain! Don't you know he was a POW for more than five years?

Hey POW!

Cause and Effect? Gen Gard, (who has two wars under his belt Vietnam and Korea) may be an Obama supporter precisely because of his disenchantment with McCain's condict

FTFA :: "Contrary to what many will tell you, this does not make McCain out of touch with ordinary Americans, as many families today are in trouble with their banks and trying to figure out how many homes they have - zero or one." -- On discussing his home gaffe...

That is a pathetic cover.

Kos, is ironically enough, a vet himself as well.

Wonder if anyone at NRO, Free Republic, LGF or Red State can make that claim?

How dare you disrespect the sacrifices of the 101st Fighting Republican Keyboard Battalion and the 102nd Conservative Internet Tough Guy Brigade.

They've SEEN THINGS, man. Things that...things that you can't even imagine.

True. But what happens in the bus station, stays in the bus station.

/the less said about what happens with internships, the better.
