US Naval Academy Honor Code
I think McCain would get real pissed-off if this was circulated:

US Naval Academy Honor Code
Midshipmen are persons of integrity:
They stand for that which is right.
They tell the truth and ensure that the full truth is known.
They do not lie.

1. Apparently it's no longer an Honor "Code"
It's been downgraded to an Honor "Concept".

Wonder when that happened? And why?

4. McCain has sold his honor for ambition. nt

5. McCain doesn't respect any of his oaths
Over the last 40 years McCain has taken at least four oaths. 

The first in 1954 when he entered the U.S. Naval Academy. The
second when he received his commission as a Naval Officer. The
third when he was elected to the House of Representatives and
the fourth when he was elected to the Senate. All of these
oaths have required him to support and defend the Constitution
against all enemies foreign and domestic. His Annapolis oath
speaks of honor and integrity. The "Straight Talk
Express" has taken a serious detour. He has traded his
honor and integrity for a shot at the White House. He has lied
to win. 

EVEN Karl Rove said on FOX News Sunday 09/14/08 Rove:
[i]"McCain has gone in some of his ads similarly gone one
step too far in sort of attributing to Obama things that are,
you know…beyond, beyond, beyond the, the 100% truth test.'[/i]

If it doesn't pass the Karl Rove's smell test. Than it surely
wouldn't pass the Annapolis Honor Code Standards.

McCain wants us to honor his military service at the same time
he dishonors it and all those who have served.

If we can't trust him to honor his pass oaths WHY would we
give him the chance to take the Oath of Office for the
President of the United States.
