Army Times Hits McCain For Flip-Flop

Has Sen. John McCain renounced his longtime antagonism toward the Army's Future Combat Systems?

On Sept. 8, the Republican presidential candidate told a rally crowd in Lee's Summit, Mo., about an Obama video message to a liberal advocacy group.

I continue to await the bold reporter who will bring to light: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afawZWEtCKc

They ALL know it already, they just WON'T report it. They all know about his real time as a POW, they just won't report it.

My friends, take it from me they didn't call him Songbird for nothing!

History will paint the true picture of John McCain, the media won't because Americans don't collaborate with the enemy and the nation couldn't handle the truth!

Obama / Biden know the truth but they won't go there!

its something that i have been talking about lately.

the entire republican party has become a party of liars. and as we all know, the politicians themselves have been lying since cesar! BUT... not the party's voters have crossed over into lying for their party as well.

that is our real crisis. we have a national party that is a party of liars!

[deliriousgod]

the big lie is more likely to be believed

I'm not sure how wide and diverse a collection of media sources have to criticize the J-Mac camp before people realize that maybe they're actually wrong on things rather than just poor victims of media slander.

I'm baffled that it still doesn't seem to have happened yet. Wake me when it does.

Tell me about it.

There is a ton of information on the Internet that suggests that John McCain was a traitor and not the heroic POW that is his public image. He said in his acceptance speech at the RNC that after they, as he humbly put it, "worked me over pretty good, I broke." The information says that he was not tortured but gave targeting information and made propaganda tapes for the Vietcong in exchange for special treatment. The targeting information that he revealed resulted in deaths of American pilots, and revealed that they were civilian targets, hospitals, schools, temples, which was strictly against the stated U.S. policy at the time.

I have tried to post on this and am always attacked that it can't be true because how would such a secret be kept. Well, it hasn't been kept. It's right out there if you're willing to do the digging. I believe it is, in fact, how the White House coerced McCain to drop his long-held opposition to torture, that they told him they would ruin his political reputation if he did not acquiesce.

You hear nothing from the surviving POWs, but, on the other hand, you do not see them supporting McCain. In fact, a POW named Butler is breaking the pact to the extent of making videos to explain why he would not support McCain:

Today on Cnn I heard John McSame claim that he will prevent the bailout of the mortgage industry. WHAT A LIER! He said that we have to keep people in their homes. WHAT A LIER.

Don't forget the FACT that his top economic adviser called American's who were caught in this housing crisis, a bunch of whiners.

HE IS A DISTORTER AND A LIER AMERICA--JUST LIKE BUSH!!

Once is a typo, three times is homeschooling. The word is "liar". Good spelling (or using a spellchecker) helps make an argument seem convincing.

[robertsandimas]

Don't be so harsh. It's the thought that counts here. Remember, however, that even poor spellers can become Vice-President. Remember Mr. Potatoe Head?

The Army Times runs many interesting articles and opinion pieces, as does the Stars and Stripes, who actually broke the Walter Reed Hospital story, which was followed up by the Washington Post.

[StandUpAmerica08]

America against McCain rally soon to be announced with speakers from Washington who will speak out against the lies the McCain campaign told the American people and his acts of treason!

Washington insiders are concerned McCain is leading America down the wrong road with deception and our image can no longer be mocked around the world.

Stay tuned!

[loax]

Once again, McCain turns his back on our soldiers!

[LAB10]

McSame=lies, lies and more Bush/Cheney/Rove lies. Enough is Enough!

[memphispaul]

John McCain, like George Bush is no friend of the United States Army.

[Bitsko]

McCain, like Bush, were helped along mightily by there respective parents, or would have otherwise never have received clearance to be hot dog jet pilots. It's who you know, not what you do.

[1differentdrummer]

Well, if John can't make his point honestly he will make it dishonestly. What are a few lies among friends?

How can McCain be a flip flopper? Remember he was POW and Obama wouldn't do those town hall meetings. And it's all Obama's fault because he's a flip flopper. It's always Obama's fault. Finally, a branch of the military is critcizing McCain. I do not understand how a former POW can routinely vote against any bills that are benefiting our vets. And at the same time play the POW card.

if john mc cain's old man and grandpa weren't admirals... graduating 895 out of 899 in the academy? he would have never stepped foot in a fighter... unless he was there to clean the dash for a real pilot!

seriously... john mc cain has never had a check that wasn't cut by the fed govt! how can that be right?
