McCain Himself Uses POW Experience To Defend Houses

Politico:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told CBS News' Katie Couric on Saturday that Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) is a "formidable" but "wise" choice for the Democratic ticket.

...

Couric asked about McCain's answer when Politico inquired about the number of homes he and his wife, Cindy, own. McCain referred the question to his staff, who said he had at least four. Records show the number could be twice that, depending on how you count the family's properties.

"I am grateful for the fact that I have a wonderful life," McCain said. "I spent some years without a kitchen table, without a chair, and I know what it's like to be blessed by the opportunities of this great nation. Cindy's father, who barely finished high school, went off and distinguished himself in World War II in a B-17 and came back with practically nothing and realized the American dream, and I am proud and grateful for that, and I think he is a role model to many young Americans who serve in the military and come back and succeed.

*voice over* (that old scratchy-voiced scary dude)

John Mc,Cain wants you to think
Being Popular with the American people, is Bad?
He wants you to think bringing people together,
of all Ages, Races, Creeds and Economic backgrounds, is Bad?
He thinks believing in Hope is Bad?
John Mc.Cain thinks Fighting for the Middle Class, is Bad?
The POW john Mc.Cain thinks New Energy for America, is Bad?
He thinks Leading America Towards the future, Is Bad?

Why does John M.Cain think these things are BAD?

Because He Can't do them!

Vote for Americas' Future, Vote for Barak O.bamma!

[barkanomics]

McCain is messed up! I don't know if he was messed up before the POW thing or because of it. But he's one scary dude at this point and SHOULD NOT be president. How scary is he? Check this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CazKanlYDgzKanlYDg

Folks,

Let's do something constructive and fun instead. CREATIVE WAY FOR NETROOTS TO HELP DEFINE MCCAIN.

Great new website: www.younamemccane.com. (McCane is a play on McCain--see the photo.) Labor of love by HuffPost member "teflondon." Now around 400 names. Create new names, vote on names you dis/like.

Top three current: McCain&Unable; McDaddyWarschmuck; McDoubleTalkExpress. Need add'l clever, thoughtful entries. RoSull, enter your "McImAPOWSoShutTheHellUp"!

More McSpewNames discouraged. Also, names posted early (pages 6-10) need more voting attention.

Let's get best names circulated widely. Let's get MSM to pick up on site for their 24/7!

Names crossing cruelty threshold re: Sen. McCain's POW experience are unacceptable. Quality controlled for voting integrity, content, undue redundancy, outrageous mis-spelling. Users can flag.

YES WE CAN HELP DEFINE MCCAIN! Check it out!

Also, very powerful, 5-minute McTube video by Aaron Hodgins Davis can be found at www.younamemccane.com. Military men, Republicans & others in their own words, set to haunting music.

Love it!

I think the most accurate is McExxon.

[GuyFawkes]

Kinda off topic, but I love this quote from an Obama guy yesterday, when asked about one of the reasons they chose Biden: "We know he can get under John McCain's skin...We know that Joe Biden can go out there with a 2-BY-4 if he has to".

[jukesgrrl]

Exactly why I like him, too. Forget the foreign relations, bring on the brickbats.

[psfurlong356]

Even McCain himself on CBS this morning seemed defensive about the "7 houses" question. He brought up his Father-in-law Daddy Hensely, which was a mistake, because guess what?:

John McCain Calls Convicted Felon with Ties to the Mob a "Role Model" (Daddy Hensley, Cindy's Father)

[IzzyCA]

Wow, thanks for that link. I thought those rumors about the McCain fortune being tied to the mob were just crazy talk (mostly because I heard it came from Corsi).

McCain should just keep talking. The more he talks, the more he is exposed for what he really is. He's a disgrace.

[saltysea]

sounds like an answer to the rezko ad.

[ninetwelve]

looks like McMansion can't handle the attention!

[TN]

Note: Cindy's father went from nothing but achieved the american dream, not John. Now John enjoys the fruits of this mans hard work. Hardly something for John to be proud of .

Cue Media backlash against McI'maPOWsoShutTheHellUp

McCain reminds me of a funny movie:

lol, my cheeks hurt.

[SimonNZ]

Jingoism, thy name is McCain.

[helen]

Let's see, if anything goes wrong it's because he was a POW. And if anything goes right, it's because he was a POW. Is there anything at all, Mr. McCain that you think makes you presidential material besides being a POW?

[Hotshortie]

I broke a nail, I was a POW
Ran a stop sign, I was a POW
Picked my nose, I was a POW
I didn't do my homework, POW


weird people give him a free pass...He shouldn't get a free pass everytime McCain yells POW!

Everybody remember to wish Happy 73 Birthday to McPOW this Friday. Announcing that he's handcuffing himself to Mitt on that day is going to be his present to us.

[GiannaX]

McPOW...I love it!

[PDXTransplant]

What do we do when he forgets?

[Plowboy]

He used his POW erxperience to defend houses?
That's just as things should be. The POW pill is his panacea.
Too bad it doesn't work for anyone else!

These videos reveal the real John McCain not the false image of a maverick created by the Republican owned Media.

[swift goat pet for truth]

I like the maverick image.

Because, by definition, a maverick is off by his lonesome. He has no followers.
McCain is not a leader, because he has not been able to attrack followers.
That is why he is not able to lead. It is because it is just not in him.
