And this is news? Sounds like the same McCain that I've been hearing for the past few weeks... 'more wars... and did I mention my POW experience?'

Thank you First Read - i always like to know who is supporting which candidate, I'm rather prinicipled, don't watch Tom Selleck anything, and I won't be watching anything these folks are in either. good info, true Democrats need to know who to boycot - and I most certainly do boycot any performer, actor, or artist who supports any repugnant.

It pains me to criticize you for this, but here it goes. OK John we get it. You were a POW. I have great respect for you, but now it appears that you throw out the POW tag every time you speak. I am starting to believe that you are diminishing the horrible times and conditions that you endured. A bad comparison, but it's like you are the high school quarterback who is reliving that one season and can't move on wit his life. The Presidency is not based on the past (your time in a POW camp). It is based on the future (moving America forward).

In polling does McCain POW status rank high? It seems like his campaign has made sure he continues to use this in every context.

My question to McCain supporters is how does being a POW prepair you for being President? (Do not answer with other issues. See if any Republican can answer a question with infromation to the question asked. I know those on TV can't)

"On Monday, McCain kicked off the Democratic Convention with an endorsement from Puerto Rican Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee."
------------------------------------------------------
And the Misogynist Express has a new theme song.
What a perfect endorsement for a candidate that already has been called out for rotten treatment of women- ha!

Mike Huckabee is probably already rallying the values voters- and not in a good way. Seriously, whoever sought out that endorsement for Senator McCain ought to be fired for incompetence, or rewarded by anti-McCain groups for subterfuge.

Will he stand on the principal of Georgia's territorial sovereignty or will he accept a compromise? His supporters may be impressed by his wisdom and judgment but going by his track record (FISA, Farm Bill, Oil Bill, Campaign Finance) I doubt he'll stick to any principals.

McCain's claim that Obama is nothing but an empty-suited celebrity was bunk from the beginning. For years, McCain has been hamming up for any television camera he could find. He's the one making cameo appearances in movies and sitcoms and hobnobbing with Hollywood types. Furthermore, Obama has far more detailed, well-thought policies for addressing issues like education and the environment than does McCain, whose platform seems to consist of three principles: lots of war and militarism, cut taxes for the super-wealthy, and pack the courts with super-right wingers. Other than that, he has nothing to say about much of anything.

McCain is obsessed with celebrity.

There's no other way to explain it. I don't think any previous candidate from either party would have felt the need to engage Paris Hilton in a back n forth. And you can probably add the third-party nut-jobs into that statement as well.

Its pretty bad when the Republicans run someone this time with less maturity than the litany of previous Green, Libertarian, Constitution, Socialist, and Reform candidates.

I remember Patricia Heaton. She was on "Everybody Loves Raymond". I remember her well, because that was a strong cast...except for her. She was painfully difficult to watch.

No matter. I thought that the Republicans eschewed Hollywood types, I guess until they think that someone likes Patricia Heaton has enough "star power" to help them. And in her case, that is pretty laughable.

Eric, Salinas, CA — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:49:09 GMT

"Elitist" McCain and his wife are the true elitists of the campaign. These spoiled rich brats never had to work for anything. Tailhook Johnny rode his Daddy's and Granddaddy's admiral coattails into the Navy and could barely graduate by the skin of his teeth at the bottom of his class. "Original Paris Hilton" Cindy had to have her Daddy Beerbucks give her a business to run because she never could have gotten a job otherwise.

"Celebrity POW" McCain didn't come home early when he had the chance out of any sense of patriotism or heroism, he knew full well had he came home early he would have been branded the new Benedict Arnold. He stayed because of self preservation and no other reason.

After proving completely incompetent as a fighter jock the Navy gave him a command in a backwater place where he couldn't lose any more valuable military hardware than he already had. The Navy back then knew he was incompetent but gave him a command because he was a Celebrity POW and his Daddy was an admiral. He got into politics because he'd worn out his welcome in the Navy and was nothing but a deadender who had reached his zenith in rank.

When "White Collar Criminal" McCain got caught up in the Keating 5 scandal the media was too wimpy to push investigating this false war hero and uncovering his corrupt part in that nefarious scandal.

The Obamas did work their way up the social ladder from meager middle class beginnings while the McCain's were spolied brats born into privilege and handed their jobs on silver platters.

The Middle Class should not be fooled by these elitists who have spent their lives dedicated to keeping the middle class under their thumbs. Only Obama/Biden will protect and serve the middle class.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

Okay, let me just say that I am sick and tired of hearing John Mccain mention the fact that he was POW, while i respect his service to our country, i cannot for the life of me see how being a former POW will create one new job, eliminate the defecit, or improve the crumbling home mortgage crisis we currently find ourselves in across this country. My father served this country in Vietnam also and all he got was spit on upon returning home,but does he go around mentioning his service day after day to score cheap political points? Mr Mccain has run a gutter of a campaign and should be ashamed of himself for using his POW status as cheap taudry political trick. Furthermore, you repubs have accused democrats over the years of not providing specifics of what needs to be done, but can you tell me how MCSAME plans to fix the economy,or can't he remember what economics is? But perhaps when you vote with GW 95% of the time it is hard to see another perspective other than your own. Hillary was right, " No way, No how, NO MCCAIN
