Once a cheater . . .
. . . always a cheater.

“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous"


In fact, the "former prisoner of war," after his release, cheated on his wife, and cheated during the Keating Five Scandal. I know, it's not "nice" to mention these things, but where does the McCain campaign come off claiming that John McCain's POW status makes him exempt from "cheating" when he has cheated repeatedly since the time of his POW experience? Is this what we have to look forward to for the next 3 months? Every time someone has a tough question for John McCain, he's going to invoke his POW years to effectively shut down the question, even when the question has nothing to do with national security? And will the corporate media call McCain on this?

1. His POW years qualify him for what?
Perhaps, not cheating while incarcerated?

5. LOL
Yea, they're trying very hard to shut this meme down. I can't hear InSanity & O'Lielly howling about it now - that he is not dared to be questioned.

6. its unfortuate that people get killed or captured in a war
but how this elevates them morally is a strange event in the American psychic.

7. A noun, a verb, POW
Which is a lot different from Rudy Giuliani, who was a noun, a verb, and 9/11.

9. Lying/Cheating/Stealing are family values
according to Sean Insanity and Faux. Sean gives McCain a pass because he was a POW:
