If McCain is elected... I dont think I have a choice on what side I am on. Opinions are now outlawed (See RNC raids).

"WAKE-UP AMERICA" - Dennis Kucinich - mova, on 09/02/2008, -0/+20Good outlook - it's nice to have a spin on someone who knew McCain at the naval academy. Also, good point on how POWs "might" not have a clear head due to trauma. Pretty obvious, but never really articulated.

- kingofinternet, on 09/03/2008, -1/+8haha, we have a guy who knew mccain at annapolis, and was in the same POW camp, and he's telling us that he's not fit for command.
this guy is a ***** ace in the back pocket - inactive, on 09/03/2008, -1/+8Everything this guy says is well known and well documented. And yet the MSM continue to elevate McCain to sainthood because of his POW experience. Wes Clark tried to reveal the ridiculousness of this and was crucified for it by the MSM. Then Obama promptly threw him under the bus. What does that tell you about Obama?

- mxsquirrel, on 09/03/2008, -2/+7Movie review for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
This is John McCain’s first movie appearance since his cameo in Wedding Crashers. McCain has once again played himself this time starring as the film’s protagonist, the Mummy. It was a clever casting move by the film’s directors, as no makeup was needed to portray McCain as an ancient decaying evil corpse.
The movie begins when McMummy falls out of his chariot and is captured by the Syrians. He spends five and a half years being tortured in a Syrian prison camp and being brainwashed into a secret Syrian supporter. When he returns to Egypt his wife who has faithfully waited for him, falls off a camel and is crippled. McMummy, becomes a politician in the Egyptian parliament and is then involved in a political scandal. He is known as one of the “Cairo Five,” a group of five Egyptian politicians who took bribes and kickbacks to reward lucrative government contracts to a wealthy businessman. McMummy is attracted to the businessman’s secretary who accidentally burns a pile of records that implicated him deeper in the scandal. He starts cheating with her, and it doesn’t hurt that she’s a wealthy meade heiress. McMummy applies for a marriage license with the beer heiress even though he is still married to the woman was crippled in the camel accident. McMummy uses his war record to help people forget about his corruption issues. He styles himself a “maverick” by doing maverick things like voting against a holiday for “Mummy Luther King,” an Egyptian holy man who was murdered for preaching for peace and equality between the Egyptian races. McMummy’s conservative followers aren’t to into things like peace and equality, they love war and so does the McMummy.
McMummy’s political ambitions burn for him to be Pharaoh someday but by the time he gets the opportunity he is snake bit by his political rival a former Pharaoh’s son “Bushotept.” Bushotept is a brain-damaged figurehead but his handlers maliciously slander McMummy spreading rumors of his having a Nubian baby and of being a homicidal maniac from his years in a Syrian prison. McMummy is defeated by Bushotept and he falls in line to serve the new Pharaoh. McMummy lusts for war after war with Egypt’s neighbors and he helps Bushotept gin up a war with Babylon so they can seize its rich resources. A million Babylonians are slaughtered in the war and thousands of young Egyptians are needlessly butchered in Bushotept's invasion and occupation of the fertile crescent. McMummy is in ecstasy from all of the destruction caused by the war with Babylon. He takes credit for the carnage and urges a war with Persia. After eight years of war and economic ruin from Bushotept and his cronies it’s McMummy turn to run for pharaoh. He is now older then the dead sea scrolls and he can’t even remember how many pyramids he owns.
When it comes time for McMummy to pick a running mate he picks Cleopatra’s religious fanatic sister Sarahpatra. Sarahpatra believes Osiris, God of the dead, wants to burn up the earth asap. She also believes Osiris is against healthcare for children and for tax cuts for the rich. The faithful are delighted with his choice even though she cant find Babylon on a map and is one McMummy heartbeat away from being Pharaoh. - inactive, on 09/03/2008, -3/+7If Obama had half the balls this guy has, then I would vote for him. But instead he tries to sell us that nonpartisan line of crap. I'm not buying it. He is just another tool. Vote 3rd party!
- peacepower, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4This is old news, but still very effective. Voting for McCain is out of the question for most intelligent, caring people I know, but it is still very usefull to pass around this video to those who may be on the fence.
I have read - on good authority - that Bill Clinton and his CIA contacts have some very powerful dirt on McCain's REAL POW experience that makes him out to be "Songbird McCain", who was given special treatment by the North Vietnamese for his cooperation. I'm sorry this didn't come out widely and I don't have the sources at hand to elaborate. I believe I saw it on Antiwar.com or possibly LewRockwell.com, two of my favorite sources for news background and analysis.
Anyone who promises the country a hundred more years of Iraq BEFORE the election is insane; as is, anyone who would vote for him.
Third Party is the only choice (Barr, probably, for me) so as not to give either Obama or McCain's owners any encouragement. - DigRWayOut, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4I am confused about McCain's heroism. Why is a pilot who was shot down by a third-world nation considered a war hero? Certainly, spending more than five years in a war prison is not heroic, as the military teaches that war prisoners are obligated to escape or die trying. Remaining a prisoner gives the enemy a political pawn. So, will someone please explain where the hero part comes in?
- worldpeacenow, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4Anyone paying attention couldn't possibly vote for McCain.
- kdawg1012, on 09/03/2008, -0/+4His POW experience was over more than 35 years ago. It's not relevant.

- EatingPie, on 09/03/2008, -0/+3I cross referenced this on a news outlet (Washington Post), and it turns out Huffington Post is *not* mis-representing the story. The do so often, I'm actually surprised, but there it is.
-Pie - inactive, on 09/03/2008, -0/+2Bad news. This story has been buried. This is the dark side of Digg. Burying is supposed to be just to keep spam out, but in this case it is definitely political. Anyway there's a new version of this that has been submitted recently and already has 37 diggs. Don't give up. Give it a digg. These things happen.

But I can't decide how to square the way I feel about this with the way I felt about those despicable Swift Boat ads. - glinsvad, on 09/04/2008, -0/+2Hence http://digg.com/political_opinion/John_McCain_s_An ...

http://pyramidsofgiza.org/ - egormley, on 09/03/2008, -0/+1Thank GOD someone is pointing this out. I'm all for manners, but no a traumatized POW should not be the one to assumed the MOST Stressful job in the world...he's already having snits with the media, what's he gonna do when IRAN or Pakistan or the EU isn't playing the way he'd like. NO THANKS, I'll take the Havard grad, the community leaders, and the guys who are CURRENTLY on the foreign relations senate committee. And certainly NOT the "mom of value" who doesn't know what the VP does from day to day, doesn't Tigg need her more than we do. Just beacuse she hold to pro-life, NRA, etc, does NOT mean she's qualified after spending her time as mayor in her hometown since infancy. (Heck, I should take over for Condolessa Rice if that's the criteria!) Please, guys, what's wrong with the smart guy??? Isn't that what we'd like??
By, the way, would LOVE to have someone grill Palin/Cain about the tickets stance on providing healthcare to infants / underage single mothers with children having complex health issues....like umm down syndrome?!!! - kazz67, on 09/03/2008, -1/+2Hey, Sfenton, remember me? - I'm the one (or are there more of us?) you "quoted" in a previous thread, only you "quoted" things I'd never said or written anywhere. And they call John McCain a maverick, hey!
A note on the post you question: Read it and you will find your answer. - Sfenton, on 09/03/2008, -1/+1Being a McCain fan, I found that funny.
- xit99, on 09/03/2008, -1/+0And this is a true story, in fact it is the only truth in politics !
- Bilabrin, on 09/03/2008, -3/+1John McCain is a tool, but this video wasn't particularly convincing.
- teriyakisause, on 09/03/2008, -7/+5Isn't Bush a POW too? President On Weed.
