When John McCain says he has been tested! What does he mean?
Just like Barack Obama, he has never held a position governing a state, city, county, town or checkers competition at the Shady Pines! When he says that he has been tested, exactly what does that mean? Everytime I hear him make that claim, I get a confused look on my face. Can someone help me understand that a little better?

1. No, it is impossible to understand it better because he means nothing
when he says it. It's like his economic plan. No details. He's just saying it.

2. If the stories about his escapades with many women are true, I'm sure he's
been tested many times.

4. He's referring to him being a POW.
That's the only thing I can imagine he means.

7. He means he was tested for VD a couple hundred times during his first marriage
when he was cheating his lousy ass off.

13. Tested in war, he means. Barack has never been in combat. It's another way for
McCain to play the POW card.

P.O.Dubya.

14. He refers to a career crisis during the Keating 5 scandal. Either that, or it's an ex-wife joke...

He managed to survive a congressional inquiry after palling around with a financier who robbed us into another government bank bailout.

That was definitely a crisis he came through in better shape than its victims.

16. I have the same reaction when he claims he knows how to win a war.
Just exactly which one did he win? His "I know how to find bin Laden" is equally as laughable.

How could anyone buy into his shit?
