McCain VS Ron Paul

The following is McCain's own admission of collaboration in an article he wrote, printed May 14, 1973 in U.S. News and World Report:

"I think it was on the fourth day [after being shot down] that two guards came in, instead of one. One of them pulled back the blanket to show the other guard my injury. I looked at my knee. It was about the size, shape and color of a football. I remembered that when I was a flying instructor a fellow had ejected from his plane and broken his thigh. He had gone into shock, the blood had pooled in his leg, and he died, which came as quite a surprise to usa man dying of a broken leg.

Then I realized that a very similar thing was happening to me.

"When I saw it, I said to the guard, `O.K., get the officer.'

"An officer came in after a few minutes. It was the man that we came to know very well as `The Bug.' He was a psychotic torturer, one of the worst fiends that we had to deal with. I said, `O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.'"

McCain claims it was only a coincidence that, about the same time he was begging to be taken to a hospital, the Vietnamese learned his father was Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., commander of all U.S. forces in Europe and soontobe commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific, including Vietnam.


McCain has admitted that he survived only because the Vietnamese learned who his father was and rushed him to a hospital where his wounds were eagerly treated. He has also conceded that the Vietnamese repeatedly threatened to withhold much needed operations unless he would give them information.

Look.....I am not disparaging McCain's service & sacrifice to our country. What I am disparaging is his disgraceful use of it to try to gain advantage over his political appointments. As Hillary Clinton found out, nothing "Entitles" you to be elected President.......You have to earn it by your current actions, deeds & who you are now, not who you were!


You need to agree with my argument here!!....Why you ask? ...Did I mention that I was disabled in the service of my country!!

Which he has done for decades, not so for your hero.

Ron Paul has been an honest, gutsy fighter for years. Even against his own party! Point out one lie he has ever been caught uttering?
