Just checking...did anyone know McCain was a P.O.W?
For some reason he keeps repeating it, so I just wanted to put it out there so he'll finally shut up.

That is all.

3. It's a disease...
It's called noun:verb:pow

For some reason he thinks things like natural disasters and politicians such as Putin will give him a pass because he was a pow.

Ooh, sorry was gonna invade Georgia today, but I won't because you're a pow and suffer from injuries.

You can respect the man for what he did, but in no way does it qualify him for the role of President. In fact, if he has so many problems which are hindering him (whatever the cause), then he should maybe consider that he is just not up to the task.

22. Don't post rumors without confirmation

We all know how the "He fought in Vietnam" smear was used against Kerry.

Smearing McCain with the same "war hero" accusation is beneath us.

23. No he wasn't.
He got really hammered that night and had to come up with a cover story. Then he spent the next 5 1/2 years partying with Jane Fonda in Hanoi.

I have that on very good authority from a Vietnamese man who saw the whole thing through his one dying eye.

What's a P.O.W. anyway?





Just kidding, my Uncle was shot down and died in Vietnam, I not only know what POW is I also know what MIA means...his remains weren't returned and ID'd until 1990.

29. The October surprise revealed!!
They obviously planned to use this as the second half of the one-two punch
starting with Palin. When the public hears about this, they will no doubt
flock to McCain in a rush of blind patriotic fervor.

I'm just amazed they were able to keep it a secret all this time.

35. POW?? "Poor Old Weenie"? Is that what that means? ....
I thought he was a disengenuous, out of touch senator who let the Republican party manipulate him into picking a fruit cake moose shooter for VP.

But what do I Know?
