Woodstock may be important to some people. The idea of a museum would be OK, with private money. McCain is saying that everyone should have suffered because he was suffering, because we were at War? Or it was wrong to oppose a War for Democracy?

The Iraq War was, arguably, the war where everyone got a big house and a subprime mortgage. How does that work? It's OK that Bush enabled McMansions during every week of the Iraq War, but the idea someone had a sense of 'brotherhood' or whatever, during Vietnam, that's outrageously wrong? Who sacrificed anything during the Iraq War, senator, other than the poor Guard units or vols? Are you kidding?

Why don't we build a McMansion Museum to honor the people who got ever material possession they wanted during the Iraq War.

I would have considered voting for John in 2000. Since then he has sold his soul, but instead of gaining the world, or the nomination, he has lost his original constituency while failing to attract the religious right and the other groups that he compromised his principles to appeal to.
I very much respect his service to our country, and I truly consider him to be an American hero, but the current edition of John McCain would be embarrassing to the John McCain of 2000.

He didn't more strongly defend his own family and his adopted Bangledeshi daughter against the Bush people - he should have forced an apology from Bush; I think they must have castrated him while he was a prisoner in Vietnam.

Richard Fifield, Easton, PA , And McCain attempted to secure 10 million in earmarks to create a center at an Arizona law school to be named after conservatie Supreme Court Justice Rehnquist. The Republican party has been allocating federal money for all kinds of pork projects for years. People criticize other states' politicians for wasteful spending, but they judge their own on how effective they are at bringing it home. I have seen people on this blog ask, "what has Clinton done for New York?" I imagine this bit of pork was meant to provide money to build a tourist trap in a region that needed added income. Where I Iive, tourist fleecing is our major industry. All elected officials are expected to participate in luring vacationers here. That McCain contrasted Clinton's securing pork to his time spent in a prison camp cheapens his position. There was a time I supported McCain, but truthfully, I am so over him now.

He lost all credibility ages ago, and the pitiful guy is apparently the last to know. Really, he should have grown his hair long when he had the chance all those years ago and joined the peace movement - he could have had a head shop in Sedona or sold New Age crystals or something - anything but that boring gray suit for the last 30 years.

Maybe if she thought these things out before doing or announcing them we would have more respect when and if she actually came up with a good idea but so far she is batting 100 with bad ideas . Her health plan in 1992 was taken straight from Kaiser -Permante -word for word . I am an Rn and had read both plans . So far i have not seen any real logical thinking from Hillary just pandering to whichever base that she is down in the polls with at that particular moment . Those snap polls tell her what her next hair -brained scheme of the moment should be.

Everyone should respect John McCain for what he did for this country. He spent 6 years in a North Vietnam torture prison.
He was also nearly blown to pieces on the USS Forestall when he
jumped from his burning aircraft into flaming jet fuel burning on the deck of the ship. Instead of running for cover, he rendered aid to an injured US Sailor, and paid the price for it. Another bomb detonated, blasting LT McCain nearly twenty feet away. They wanted to send him home after that(he was injured), but he refused. This honorable decision, again, cost him dearly. It wasn’t much longer before this brave man was shot down, while supporting our brave ground troops. His extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty make him a great man, and capable leader who has exponentially greater experience and honor than Senator Billary.
