The Los Angeles Times offers an unvarnished — and unprecedented in its detail — look at McCain’s lousy record as a Navy pilot.

This is BS and talking about it is pointless. If Johnny Boy was the son of sharecroppers and the Red Baron of Viet Nam, the subject would not be brought up.
Johnny Boy could have been the greatest pilot in the history of aviation and he’d STILL be unqualified to be Prez.

I’m an Obama supporter.
However, I don’t know what in the world McCain’s ability to fly a plane has to do with his ability to run a country. What if it turned out Obama was a crappy driver? Or John Kerry couldn’t program his VCR? Or George Bush couldn’t ride a bicycle? Who cares?!?

It’s not pointless to talk about this. The point is that McCain was given an elite position with a huge amount of responsibility while in the navy and he blew it off. He was all about the prestige of being a pilot,but didn’t give a crap about the responsibilities.

both candidates are nearly the same on every issue. obama is as much of a warhawk as mccain, and both answer to corporate lobbyists. but we can change this

I guess the point is that had it not been for his high-ranking father and grandfather, McCain would have been pulled from the MOS after the first crash. Then he’d be telling us how he served us in VNam on the mess detail.

That’s right TFH, it also exemplifies how McCain is deceitful and obfuscates issues that need not be so. If he had released his military records, this would have probably blown over a long time ago. By dissembling the issue, he insures that it can be resurected less than a month from election.

right on Dirty Dennis
His campagne is going no where so he resorts to trying to destroy his opponent’s character, John is not able to talk economy because he has never had the problem middle America face’s, he has always been a spoiled brat,whose second marriage is to another spoiled brat, and his running mate is an air head whose only qualifacations are that she is able to be off topic, and she knows how to say maverick, one of the few words she pronounces correctly.

If Mcain was with G.BUSH DON’T YOU THINK HE (Mcain) is still that same old Bush friend -ideas?..i think from what he and his lady partner are really doing now is really what Obama clearly states “out of touch, time, and ideas.
