StarWars-Hilarious

wow, always thought mccain actually had some character and morals, but I guess not

edit: at least she doesn't seem too bitter about it

Or maybe perhaps the years he spent away from her caused an unfixable rift in their relationship while he was being locked up in a POW camp.

Or maybe perhaps their marriage was shoddy before the war.

Or a million other things you have no idea about.

So go ahead and make crazy assumptions about his relationship, but it does nothing to change the fact that he is and was a war hero. Personal slander is the name of the game for you guys though I guess. Happy smearing because that's all liberals seem to do these days. Not saying Conservatives are much different but don't think for a second you are on some high horse because you think you know McCain's relationship with his ex-wife and the details surrounding it.

He spent five and a half years being tortured so severely that he cant even raise his arms above his head. Even when allowed to leave, he denied safe passage back home until the rest of his POW friends could go home. I highly doubt you or I will do anything worth 1/10th the heroism and admiration he showed and deserves. Its one thing to disagree with a political agenda, but another completely to be libelous towards a war hero. Kind of sad, really.

Did anyone say he WASN'T a war hero? Hell no. That's one of the reasons I respected him and I still respect him for it. I already said he'd been my favorite republican for a long time. Honestly I'm even willing to forgive this to him cause it was like 30 years ago and I'm sure he's grown since then, and I haven't seen any reason to think he's running around on this wife now (that NYT story was BS). But I will keep it in the back of my mind that he came home and spent months cheating on his wife before dumping her.

But I don't see the logic in saying that since he was a war hero and tortured he is therefore the best choice for president. You may say that it shows his strength and ability to stand up for himself, but just looking at the way he's behaved over the last 6 months shows that he's lost his backbone when you see how he's flipped on so many positions and is now supporting Bush on almost every major policy.

I am in complete disagreement with all of his policies... his plans for the supreme court, staying in Iraq, health care, and so on. But when people start saying they are going to support him cause he's "moderate, not a conservative" and "honest, upstanding, moral and of strong character" I think it makes sense to show all sides of the man. Hell, conservatives like to go after Obama for shit he DIDN'T EVEN DO (saying he wont' say pledge of allegiance, being a Muslim, and all those other lies), and I'm just pointing out something McCain DID do which was on the sleazy side.

I really dont care for him as a presidential candidate either, but its outrageous to think you have the ability to gauge his relationship and the terms he divorced her on.

I'm getting a feeling that you didn't read the article ... maybe you finished quote I posted...

Anyway, she says he had a mid life crisis and wanted to make up for lost time. She being the ex wife. Either way the bottom line is he ran around with other women and was hooking up with his current wife WHILE he was married and his wife was recovering from some serious surgery. Can't say what the reason was but I can't find a GOOD reason to be cheating on your wife.
