So, I was watching C-SPAN today, and during an interview with NYTimes reporter(?), David Brooks, was asked about Speeches, and he said they were working on one about McCain's POW experience:
"we are going to take the POW experience and ram it down their throats"
So, there you have the whole of the GOP and John McCain, the Yellow Elephants, those who never have,and never will "mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, & our sacred Honor.", will lap it up like so much "shit on a shingle". It will be repeated until it is Holy Writ. Until it is so much a part of the "thinking" of the Party, that anything that questions any part of McCain's Fitness will be deemed worthy of "fatwa" or interdiction. There is no other experience.
We talk about how everything is "explained away" and excused by "I was a POW"...
Sen. McCain is STILL a POW, he never left that prison camp like so many others.
He is now and forever, a POW at the Hanoi Hilton.
That alone, makes him unfit.
He has become one with his North Vietnamese captors, endorsing the same torture he endured.
That makes him unfit.
He is now and forever, a prisoner of the North Vietnamese.
He has never left Vietnam.
To Honor his fellow Veterans, would be for him, to admit the fact, that he is walking wounded. His callousness and obvious hatred for his fellow Veterans makes him unfit to Command.
He is now and forever, a prisoner of the North Vietnamese.
He sees no wrong is deliberately putting his own flesh into Harm's way.
Sacrifice your only son. To what? an Oil Rig?
That makes him unfit.
He is now and forever, a prisoner of the North Vietnamese.
He has never left Vietnam.
UPDATE: they weren't kidding. Uncle Fred certainly did ram the experience... but made some omissions....and, we know what they are
