Republicans see vets as war heroes. Democrats see the mother of 20 kids on welfare, food stamps, and every government program you can imagine, and that person is their hero. So I heard.

John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1
According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2
His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3

McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4
The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5
He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6
Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7
McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his c

All you need to do is delete one of my posts and as long as I see you did delete it I promise to never return. Simple and that is all it takes.

Oh, bubba, as much as you grate on my nerves, it would be an empty place without your presence.

Hero is used way too often . Is McCain a hero ? I,m not so sure in the my way of thinking . This I do beleive anyone that joins our military and protects our freedom . Is a person of honor .
I,m not a big McCAIN fan . But I do like his stand opposing the murder of unborn childern . Its not a choice , ITS MURDER for BIRTH CONTROL .

Obama best buddy and money man , just got convected on 16 of 25 counts . For buying political influence .

My point , name a poor Senator or Congress person ?

How was the children's health care bill a bad bill?

McCain served his country became a prisoner for 5 years and refused to be let out of the Hotel Hanoi as a political gesture by the commies because his dad was an Admiral. McCain refused and that is reason enough...

having refused to be released from captivity does not make McCain a hero. If anything it makes him stupid. A hero would have gotten out gotten armed and liberated the others. Instead he chose to make a political statment and stay caged like a rat. The fact of the matter is (if there realy is an arguement to be made) that John McCain was and is a bully. He fought in a war that was unnessary and caused 58226 American Servicemen to lose their life and another 150,000+ to suffer needlesly. For those who wish to argue the point let me point out that it was the french who origanly were "at war" with the vietnamese over "land rights" and freedom. the north vietnamese wanted it the french didn't. we went to advise and train the SVA and french. in the late 50's when the french left we should have too. yet we stayed because we "had to stop those commies from taking over the world." Really come on how serious can you be... a "third world back water country" taking over the world. Ummmm it's happened anyway... take a look at your television, your microwave your computer, your pants, your shoes... they are all made in China, thailand, cambodia, korea, japan the phillipines, and various other "third world back waters" the fact is John McCain was not defending the US it was defending its economic interests he was fighting in a war we did not belong in and he did it all of his own free will. John McCain was and is a bully. prove me wrong with out conjecture. His track record speaks for itself.

Let's Face it neither one of them are "Heros" Just 2 over paid dummies that made it to their position. Like I said when Little Bush ran for Pres.

1. Look what they have done for their states they have been representing.

2. Do they have interests that can sway their judgement..ie own a couple of oil fields or a shareholder in an arms company and so forth?

I believe a hero stands for others, protects others and puts themselves in harms way by doing so. Fights for the justice of all, not the chosen few.

First of all, if the majority of voters valued military service as a qualification for president, we wouldn't have elected the last two draft-dodging clowns! President Dole would have finished up his second term in 2004.
Second, I think we tend to throw the word "hero" around a little too freely. Police, fire fighters, and military personnel are all doing a job. They accept the level of risk associated with their jobs, and they collect a pay check for it. I think "brave" is a much more appropriate term. "Hero" should be reserved for the guy who throws himself on a grenade.
