John McCain spent six years being tortured in North Vietnam. Fuck him.

[Cyrano]

Today, he voted for a torturing, war-criminal piece of shit to become attorney general.

I for one thought McCain's conscience might guide him on this vote. But evidently he'd rather keep alive his presidential aspirations for '08. He's not only turned his back on his own values, but he's helped put every American soldier who is ever captured at even greater risk.

How the fuck can he live with himself after today?

1. Did he really?

Goddammit! What an asshole!

[complain jane]

2. I decided McCain was just a bendover for Bush after

he lost all credibility (and self-respect I'm sure) cozying up to the chimp after what was done to him in 2000.

He's just a weak partisan sap, I don't give a shit where he was for six years.

[methinks2]

3. Damn,

I liked him.:smoke:

4. We should have left him there.

Ungrateful fuck.

6. It's like seeing Jewish names on that neo-Con Web site

that published the report that says genocide can be politically useful. You've got to wonder what they are thinking.

7. Not Under The New Guidelines

Under the new guidelines he really wasn't tortured, because there was no intent to kill him and his torturers were not trying to cause organ failure.

11. Very good point. That explains so much that makes no sense otherwise. nt

[theorist]

9. Now he's even more irrelevant. How unfortunate.

I kind of liked the guy back in 2000, but now the RW hates him and he voted for more torture. There's no way he'll make it to the White House.

[blondeatlast]

10. There have been rumors that he ratted on his fellow prisoners in

the Hanoi Hilton to save himself. I can't say I entirely fault him, Lord only knows what I'd do, but still it explains what to me is otherwise a completely nonsensical vote.

I have no idea, they are no more than rumors to me, but they have swirled around him since he first was elected to the Senate.

Big news in AZ, probably not so much elsewhere.

13. They offered to let him go or exchange him

cause his daddy was an Admiral. He refused.

[Cyrano]

14. There's no denying he had guts and integrity.

What the hell turned him into just one more Rethug piece of shit?

[devilgrrl]

12. Guess what? McCain was tortured for NOTHING!!!

Because Vietnam was another useless, reasonless war just like Iraq!

As far as I see it, he wants the troops to suffer the same way he did.

Sick bastard!

[pretzel4gore]

15. they're blackmailing him....

or something; mccain has family etc, like clinton and kerry...the repukes are the ones deserving of our wrath.....i once heard there isn't a politician in a democracy that cannot be framed, for somethingh, if the media is in on it, and the mediawhores make it unlikely that even mccain's suffering would spare him the giggling threats of the nazipoos....
forget mccain, lookit the gushers that spew riches for bushinc, novak, miller, the foxnuts etc

[LoZoccolo]

16. So?

I don't believe they are, but so?

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

21. i just prefer to see any vitriol spent on the mediasluts

where it maybe affect the lying horrorshows....i hate the mediawhores so violently i daydream about getting them in a lonely room (soundproofed)
whereas mccain's excuse could be understandable, the likes of oreilly and limbah-humbug, mathews and those goats at the networks etc, they are traitors plain and simple, they like being traitors

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

17. No..he was frat pranked..get your lingo straight

[Cyrano]

19. Of course. Sorry about that. I just forgot where I put my dittohead notes.

[XemaSab]

22. Considering

that a California State U. student DIED last night during a frat hazing wherein he was forced to drink 5 gallons of water, I would think that comparing our interrogation methods to frat hazing would set off MORE alarm bells. This is why frat hazing is banned at universities, folks....

18. McCain has sold his sole! May god help him. n/t

[meppie-meppie not]

25. and his soul as well ;-) n/t

[Cats Against Frist]

20. He sold out a long time ago

When he looked like Chimpy's bitch in the campaign pictures, after the Chimperor's seek & destroy team called him crazy, made politics out of his kid and trashed him to no end.

What a mother fucker.

[PurityOfEssence]

23. He's as much of a fool as Sumner Redstone

The theory is that if you play nice with them, they won't fuck you. Hahahahahaha.

McCain will do anything to become president, and he hasn't got a prayer. Much as he's suckered many moderates and lefties that he isn't the reactionary nut that he is, he's one of the bunch, and still not primitive enough for the GOP.

He'll suck up to them and toe their line for as long as he lives, and they'll still screw him. His denial is monumental.

[meppie-meppie not]

24. he wants to be President. n/t

[lostnfound]

26. That's really sad.

I can't believe it, really.
