Dude is pathological. Every single thing is about him being a POW.

You would be too, if you had been a POW.

Dude, is he serious? He cannot be this stuipd. His campaign cannot see all these stories criticizing him for pulling the POW card in ridiculously unrelated situations and still continue to do so. Unless they don't monitor the news.

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for a POWTM!

Who are you to say when former POW John McCain can use the POW card, subby? As a former POW, John McCain can play this card whenever he wants. You'd understand if you'd spent 5 1/2 years as a POW like John McCain did.

It's amazing and incredibly sad that after four more years of the disastrous Bush administration, if the election were held today the state map would look almost identical to '04 (except the Democrat would win, just barely). People are so blind and ignorant.

If John Kerry could be criticized for his medals and military service by the Republicans in 2004, why is it OK in 2008 for McCain to exploit his medals and military service as a blanket, Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card whenever asked tough questions?

/Personally, I don't recall Kerry deflecting any tough questions with "When I was in Vietnam" stories?
//And, as a veteran, I don't care for McCain doing such.
///It cheapens himself terribly.

I swear to Elvis - the POW card is McCain's equivalent of the RickRoll. It was effective for about 10 minutes, then everyone was tired of it.

Yep - noun, verb, POW. From anyone in his camp. It's disgusting. Especially since he apparently earned the nickname "Songbird" from his fellow POWs during that time.

 
Eddie_Dean_NY [TotalFark] 2008-08-24 01:55:29 PM  
Keep it up McCain. It's going to be out-farking-standing when the entire U.S. Military, every Veteran, and every friend or relative of a Veteran decides to vote against you for cheapening their service and sacrifices.

I'm surprised the Dems haven't gotten some of those ex POWS together to swiftboat McCain.

/Of course, that would require the Dems to have the complete lack of ethics and morality that the Repugs have.

This is where you are wrong.

For every person who rolls their eyes every time McCain goes "POW!", there are two whose eyes mist up and they look for an American flag to salute.

In an era where sacrifice seems tough to come by from our leaders, any sacrifice, no matter if it were done willingly or not, is magnified to the extreme.

YOU may tire of hearing it, and YOU may think he dodged a question by showing old POW photos...but that 55 year old woman in Alabama who wouldn't mind a good poking from an all-American stud like McCain is marking off the days on her kitchen calendar before Election Day.

It's true. Let him have as many houses as he can afford. And no, you can't redistribute them.

Then don't allow him to call Obama the out-of-touch elitist when most Americans (including Obama) know how many houses they own - 1.

You mean blog posts. The horribly biased pro-Obama liberal media STILL isn't giving big coverage to former POW McCain shamelessly exploiting being a POW as a catch-all excuse for everything.

It's gonna take Biden going "noun, verb, POW" in public to have the 24/7s do their talking head "Does McCain Exploit His War Service?" nonstop coverage.

As they say, people elect the leaders they deserve. So if we're dumb enough to allow ourselves to be hypnotized by the incessant droning of "POW," then I'd say we deserve McCain.

we should pass a law that all P.O.W.'s receive carte blanch treatment everywhere they go and no matter what they do they are never held accountable for it.

 
jj325 [TotalFark] 2008-08-24 03:40:08 PM  
Bet if John Kerry had known being a POW was a golden ticket to forgiveness for everything a person did after their release he would have gotten captured instead of being a war hero.

Anyway, I heard McCain sang like a canary while being held prisoner and that's why his former captors endorsed him.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-08-24 03:41:20 PM  
He's the Rudy Guiliani of POW's. He's become a self-parody. And yet there are people that still think he'd be a great president?
