So who is he and make your best er arguement. 
He a guy thatâll get the State troopers in riot gear to arrest dozen of protestors exercising their freedom of assembly and freedom of speech at the GOP Convention.
^ You see any of us calling those protesters, loonies, for blocking roads?
Those protesters are arrested and release with a small charge. Their freedom of speech hasnât been denied. Just mid-halted but theyâll be back.
As for John McCain⌠Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. A huge âehâ indeed. 
Flew 23 missions as part of plan to âbomb North Vietnam back to the stone ages.â
For many that is true heroismâŚ

I donât think the Democrats should go there. He served his country in time of war, followed orders, and suffered greatly. Very admirable in my book.

No I donât imagine they will! I am speaking as a foreign observer.

Okay. Go for it.
The Dems donât have the disrespect for war veterans that the Republicans showed in the 2004 campaign. Purple heart bandaidsâŚnot a tactic the Dems would stoop to.
Who is he? Dunno. A one-armed baby-murderer?

Yes. I think Obama has been doing pretty good so far. Not stooping to their level, but not making Kerryâs mistakes by totally ignoring to smears directed his way.
Also Dukakisâs mistake in 88.
Republicans smear: itâs their nature. Itâs essential to debunk their smears forcefully and immediately, lest they fester and become perceived as truth.

And the Democrats have got plenty on the Republicans without having to make stuff up. I wish the bloggers would lay off Palin and her kids and concentrate on the high crimes and misdemeaners that the current administration is going to get away with if McCain gets elected.
Heâs a war hero. No one in their right mind can or would deny that. But is that enough?
Kerry was also somewhat of a war hero. Admittedly his story was far less compelling than McCainâs, but he was 1,000 times the war hero that his opponent, who bailed out on Natl. Guard duty, was and he ended up losing. So, apparently the voters donât just look to ancient past history war heroics. Apparently theyâre more concerned with the future.
Second to being a war hero, McCainâs a Republican (following 8 years of disastrous Republican rule) and an old man with heart trouble (and a completely inexperienced, evangelical, mommy for a VP). Two big strikes against him.
The polls may be neck and neck now, but Obama will gain a nice lead as we get closer, as the people question whether they really want (a) 4 more years of Bush or, worse yet, (b) Palin leading our nation.
Getting shot down and tortured for 5 years doesnât make you a war hero. But the way he handled his imprisonment makes him a Hero period. He could have gotten out early. He elected to stay, and he suffered unimaginably for it.
Watch the speech Fred Thompson gave tonight. If half of what he said is trueâŚholey batshit.
That alone is not going to get him elected, but if it doesnât earn respect and admiration, then nothing can.
War hero or not, it doesnât mean he is fit or qualified as president. If thatâs one of the key reasons to support McCain I feel sorry for those voters. Whatâs next, a movie actor as president?
[color=#FFFFFF]Yes, I do know RR was an actor, thank you.[/color]

The way he handled his imprisonment may have been heroic, he certainly suffered a great deal.
However there was nothing heroic about the bombing of Vietnam (and neighbouring states). I would have more respect for a man who told his commander he was having no part in such criminal action.
But the average white person is going to start thinking whether they really want the Cosby kids in the White House. Maybe I underestimate them, but I think that is what will make this a very close race. They wonât admit it. One of McCainâs advisors said yesterday, âThis election is not about the issues.â
âWho is John McCainâ is the theme alright.
This is Rudyâs speech.
And here is Palinâs:
