1. OMG - That's what I was saying to my wife! "Which war did McCain win?" Name one.

2. That's exactly what sprang to my mind when she said that crap.
What, is she claiming he was fighting -FOR- North Vietnam?
Actually, that might explain a lot...but I doubt that's what
she meant.

8. He was a POW
He doesn't have any experience winning a war because he was locked up!

10. Strangely enough
That incredible gaffe didn't make Jake Tapper's "Fact Check" desk on ABC. A howler if there ever was one, and you'd better believe it will be completely ignored in the popular media.

11. It's one thing to be the only vet in the race but McSame was an Admiral's fuckup son
who would have been lucky to even been allowed on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier otherwise. There is so much suspect about his actions on the USS Forestall and in the Hanoi Hilton we'll never know thanks to his Dad's influence.

War Hero? Audie Murphy was a war hero. Alvin York was a war hero. John McCain is no war hero. He got caught and then chirped like a canary to his captors to save his ass.
