In reply to the discussion: I am sick, sick, SICK of John McCain!! [View all]emsimon33
(3,128 posts)I was a teacher in the 1970s in Virginia Beach, VA, in a high school that served Oceana Naval Air Base, then the largest air base in the world and the base that suffered the highest number of Viet Nam prisoners of war.
The students of returning Viet Nam POWs at the high school talked about their fathers' disgust for McCain, that McCain had sold them out to their captors. It was openly discussed that McCain should be court marshaled, but his father's position in the military saved him. He was a coward then as now.
Then there is his abandoning his sick wife to marry into a rich Arizona family.
Let us not forget was his huge role in the Keating savings and loan scandal (the Keating Five) while I was pursuing my PhD in Arizona in the 1980s. A major reason that McCain did not go to jail for his part--and his part was the largest of the five--was that the other four were Democratic senators in a Democratic-controlled Congress.
I know first hand that John McCain has no moral compass. Like George W Bush and Mitt Romney, he feels he is entitled.
John McCain is a myth. He has proved time and again that he is not a man!
