The truth about John McCain
John Sidney McCain III has never held a job that wasn't paid for by taxpayers. He has either worked for the military or the Congress. He has been part of the problem his entire life.

John McCain was a terrible student. At Annapolis he ranked 894th out of 899 students.

John McCain would have nothing to show for his military service if he had not been captured by the Vietcong. He didn't obey the rules, was known as a womanizer, and lost 4 U.S. Navy aircraft prior to any combat duty.

John McCain had only about 20 hours in combat missions before he was captured. He received 28 medals for his service.

John McCain had everything handed to him. His father was an admiral and helped get him promotions and, even in Vietnam, he was given medical care because of his father's position.

John McCain did not get the reputation of being a maverick until the 1990s. Prior to that he was Reagan Republican and after Clinton he voted at least 90% of the time with Bush.
