McCain's very own race card...
His POW status. As an Arizonan, I can tell you he's used it to ameliorate every stixky wicket he's found himself stuck in.

Thousands of POWs have NOT sacrificed their ethical integrity by using it; but it's McCain's stock in trade--and while the biased media wants badly to make race an issue and dances on their toes about it 24/7, they'll never touch the POW issue.

It's simple: if the McCain camp makes it an issue, then so can we. The gloves are off and if McCain can't take the heat, he better find another kitchen to play in.

Just stop it, John McCain, or lie in the stench you created for yourself. It's entirely up to you. :mad:

1. It would be nice if we could trace his history of using the POW card.
Did it come up in the Keating 5 scandal?

2. Yes, indeed. In fact, it was the core of his first campaign for HoR back in the day.
Problem is, most of the reports on that were in print so it will take a load of boots-on-the-ground research to turn it up.

I'll see what I can turn up; mostly it was in his campaign ads and local news reports not available on the Net.

3. If he's going to contimue to bring it up, we need to bring this VIDEO up;
his tantrum filled rant at a POW's wife at a Senate hearing:

4. He's playing the POW Card
Some surrogate should bring that one up.
