Countdown to the end of the Republic (USA)

Then attacking Obama is fine.

heard similar about McCain during the election. And questions about how/why he got shot down.

McCain followed his father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, into the United States Navy, graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. During the Vietnam War, he nearly lost his life in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. In October 1967, while on a bombing mission over Hanoi, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured by the North Vietnamese. He was a prisoner of war until 1973. McCain experienced episodes of torture, and refused an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer. His war wounds left him with lifelong physical limitations.

McCain got shot down?

Attacking a man for his statements is fine and more then fair attacking him because his wounds received in the service of his country, did or did not deserve medals is not!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, Obama never served.

How long could you or I have held out, you think?

Yes indeed if you can find a group of men that was not under his command or on his patrol boat willing to put out **** by the wagon full and pay for by your rich right wing backers to the tunes of millions of dollars in PR campaign that is indeed just a few vets speaking their minds<not>.

One he was in combat, two he was wounded in combat with the enemy not once but a numbers of times. That is a fact you and others cannot question no matter how annoyed you are of his followings post war actions

The man he was running against did not even have a paper cut as far as in known in his brave service protecting the skies over Texas.

What always did amazed me is this campaign did not backfire on Bush for having his big money supporters running attacks on a wounded combat vet and the same time he were sheltering his worthless rear end in the states.

questioning his claims were Swift Boaters.

tour of duty, he came home early, with questionable justification.

Bush did everything asked of him, and his commanders said he was one of the best, I don't recall the exact words, but that is the summary. He would have gone to fly in Vietnam, if called, but his unit was not called there, is that Bush's fault, and also is it now a crime to serve in the type of service that Bush honorably served in?

but I donated to the Swift Boaters because their cause was just, honest, courageous, and truthful. Thanks to them, perhaps we dodged
