First off, Gen. Clark’s comments were taken wildly out of context. Yes, he said, “I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president,” but also unspoken and implied is that Sen. McCain failed to find his way back to friendly territory like you see in the movies all the time. What message are we sending to our hopeful, cinephile youth if we elect this kind of quitter?

You can pity this myopia as degenerate politics. However, a myopia within the media and citizenry damages the high purpose and mandate that faces this Country.

There is little or no mention of the direct relationship between the military conscience of Duty, Honor and Country and the Stuff of a President. We pay genuflective lip-service to our veterans, but don’t see that, for some of them, this same thread remains unbroken in charting an even higher personal course to serve our Country. For some, like John McCain, it has been a continuous course of Service.

When you start chipping away at that service, you belittle the very ideals of those who now Serve and someday may have the same aspiration. Everything is fair game, though, when self-aggrendizement flushes regard for high ideals and dedication.

Your comments, made earlier this week, in regards Mr. McCain’s credentials to be President of the United States are, in fact, correct. It is true, that being a member of the military, a fighter pilot or even a tortured prisoner of war, in themselves do not automatically qualify any person to be President.

That said, I would point out that Mr. McCain’s choices, decisions, his conduct and behavior during this period of time in his life, certainly speaks highly of his courage, toughness, loyalty and love of our country. Certainly sir, I would say that it shouts the fact that Mr. McCain’s character and judgment has been tested hard and proven beyond question!

I don’t know about you General, but when I am choosing who to support, for the most important office in the United States, these personal characteristics are among the most important measures by which I evaluate the man asking for my vote.

I ask you General Clark, if Mr. McCain’s character, tested and proven, does not speak to his qualifications to be President of the United States, what makes you believe that Barrack O’Bama is more so?

Oooooooohhh, timmeh…lol…name calling, my favorite game . Since your comments contained no substantive logic, let’s just get to the good part:

I’ll take your “pseudo-intellectual dolt blowing nothing nothing but hot air” and raise you a pseudonymous dork blowing his own ‘horn’, haha (good luck figuring that out).

Gee can’t argue that, the man actually has a platform that is substanative (despite its flaws) rather than blowing empty rhetoric like your dim-bulb messiah.
I can’t really argue against his ’substanative’ platform since substanative is not a word and the spell checker on this site clearly points that out (W, is that you slummin’ with us prols?)…but I notice that you frequently use ‘blowing’ (typical contard subconscious fixation projection, perhaps?)…anyway, I’ll raise you your ‘dim-bulb’ messiah with a translucently pale senile ancient crash-test dummie.

More America-hating liberal tripe.
That’s funny, coming from a retarded chest-thumping, plutocrat’s fascist dupe tool chitlin eater. Haha, this is fun .

Wow!!…You sure do hate this great Nation and the above average lifestyle it has afforded all of us!!…so now the military is enslaving people? Exactly who? And last time I checked, no one’s forcing you to drive a “Hummer” or any car for that matter.

Really my uninfomed little friend????
Yes, really, my ignorant tiny virtual acquaintance. I hope this answers your question to your satisfaction, since you were obviously veeery curious, judging by your enthusiastic use of the ‘?’.

you think this country is un-evoving??
Once again, observe (much?) the auto-spellchecker…

60 years ago, your ilk would have been branded communist by McCarthy and his Cronies
Yes, we’ve come a long way…now I get called ‘ilk’ and ‘fringe lib’ by his similarly intellectually challenged descendants…haha.

This country is evolving continuously moron!
Well, your family tree certainly seems to be going in that direction, retard…lol.
