I have more respect for McCain than most Repugs, but I've lost some
respect for him in the past year as he has traded in his integrity for
the opportunity to be more electable by the right wingers.

The same could be said about Hillary in her desire to appeal to the
independents. Interesting that McCain has to make compromises in
order to get help him get nominated and Hillary is doing the same
thing to help her get elected.

That's a ridiculous characterization of him, but I really doubt he'll
get the nomination because of his health issues. He looks like Casper
the Friendly Ghost.

He has got to be on of the most unlucky guys on the planet. He was shot down
over Vietnam and spent years in a brutal POW camp. BUT before that he
almost single-handedly sank his own aircraft carrier (The Oriscanny) when
his plane fired a missile while parked on the deck that ignited a blaze that
almost overtook the entire ship.

Wrong ship, it wasn't the Oriskany.

Hmmm...getting shot down and captured may qualify as unlucky.
Firing a missile into your own ship? Incompetent.

Then McCain isn't incompetent as his plane was hit by the missile.
Incompetent is making snide remarks about a true American hero based on what
you read in RSG without verifying with a second source.

Amen to that!
I don't like the snide remarks and outright lies told about our military
veterans for political purpose.
I wouldn't vote for McCain, but he IS an American hero. As are Duke
Cunningham, John Kerry and Murtha.

Duke Cunningham is a great example that shows winning medals has
nothing to do with intelligence or integrity. I guess there are worse
reasons for electing people to high office than being a war hero ---
being a movie star comes immediately to mind --- but I really wish
that there were a way to select people based on their intelligence and
knowledge. McCain was a great POW, but he is not very smart, and he
has rolled over for Bush more times than Barney.

Absolutely. What it takes to be a war hero and what it takes to be an
effective President are not always the same thing.

It does not matter if he runs. He won't get the nomination.

McCain is not presidential material. He is a whiner and not a leader.

I guess. Murtha was involved in ABSCAM. He didn't take the bribe, but he didn't
report the attempt either, even though he was on the ethics committee.
Judgement call, I guess.

Yes, he was, but he wasn't one of the more egregious offenders. Alan
Cranston really took the cake there.

Actually, what McCain did was pretty egregious. He took more direct money
($112K) from Keating than the other four; and McCain's wife paid Keating
like $350K for some shopping center as well; a year before Keating met with
the investigators. McCain said "''I was judged eventually, after three
years, of using poor judgment, and I agree with that assessment.'' I
think what he did is worse than just using poor judgement.

The guy has been running for president the last 12 years or so. Of course,
he's running again. His latest announcement about forming a "presidential
exploratory committee" is hogwash. What's there to explore. He should be
used to this by now. He has been running during the last 3 or 4 presidential
elections.
