[Pin Wizard]

The best I've heard yet! Watched his speech at CNU. He definitely has his priorities straight! Wooo hoo!!! As he said...America is worth fighting for!!

Yes, America is worth fighting for!

I know. This post doesn't seem negative enough to fit in with our agenda.

Apparently, that was his speech in Springfield. Oops...missed the local.

bsnyder...That's a piece of misinformation.

Disney fix...Looks like it was packed! Loved the big guy in the red shirt with the name tag..."Joe."

Or a MSM psy-op campaign.

Lucky you!

I watched a biography of John McCain this morning on the Biography channel. It was so interesting. I never knew very much about his early life. What a hero and a brave man is. I never knew all the details of what he went through as a POW for those 5 and 1/2 years.

One interesting thing I learned was that he almost died when his plane was hit by accident on the USS Forrestal by a missle. One hundred and thirty four sailors died that day but somehow John McCain escaped death. Amazing.

Because he ran away... that's how he survived.

Gee. I certainly hope you are not trying to put some negative connotation to this...................

Just an FYI, Lt McCain was strapped in his A-4 when the initial explosion occurred right next to him. He had to unstrap, climb out, drop about 8' to the flight deck & THEN run away.

Just as you would have done. What's the problem with this?

OP, I'm glad you had a good time! We got to see him and SP about a month ago. It was so exciting!

I hope I'm wrong about what your post means but are you saying he was a coward for running? If so, does that comment make you feel better? If that is what you are saying then this is by far the most sickening post I've ever read here. What would you have him do instead? Please enlighten me. I've seen the video and I know what happened. I was only posting that he defied the odds. He escaped death to live another day and that's amazing and it's something I never knew. Or maybe you are saying he's not a hero because he ran? My calling him a hero comes from his service to our country and his 5 and 1/2 years as a POW.

I would never post something so mean about Obama. I may disagree with his politics but would never tear him down this way but maybe I"m wrong about what you meant by that post and if I am, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

jodifla, do you have another user name? In post 11 you say McCain survived by running away.

Then in post 15, southernson says Thank-you????

So if you're in a plane crash, you'll just stay in your seat and burn to death? I know if I survived the initial crash, I'd get out as fast as possible.
