"Oh, the sadomasochistic tedium of McCain's imprisonment in Hanoi being told over and over and over again at the Republican convention. Do McCain's credentials for the White House really consist only of that horrific ordeal? Americans owe every heroic, wounded veteran an incalculable debt of gratitude, but how do McCain's sufferings in a tiny, squalid cell 40 years ago logically translate into presidential aptitude in the 21st century? Cast him a statue or slap his name on a ship, and let's turn the damned page."
I am really get sick and tired of reading and listening to the Democrat/Communist "issue" that they seem to think that John McCain is only running for President because he was a POW during the Vietnam War. NOBODY ever claimed that this was his qualification. John McCain even debunked those rumors.
This is the deal. John McCain served his country in one of the darkest, loneliest places on earth, a place few have been and where none would ever want to be. Upon capture, he was initially denied any medical treatment and left to die. He did not die, he chose to fight on. He was routinely interrogated and tortured, but he continued to fight. He was offered freedom by his captors, he refused. He was brutally beaten, broke under tremendous pressure, and then had to rekindle that spirit to fight. Put simply, John McCain stood tall in Hell.
For the five years he was imprisoned, John McCain had to face the consequences of his decisions alone. By contrast, Senator Obama's was able to dodge difficult decisions by voting "present." One of the hardest decisions by John McCain was to choose to stay imprisoned when his captors would let him go. By contrast, a difficult decision for Senator Obama was to move his nomination acceptance speech from an arena that housed 40,000 to a stadium that could seat 80,000. One person made the decision to honor his country, the other to exalt himself.
There are many other admirable qualities, such as intelligence, which qualify John McCain to be president. What John McCain's "horrific ordeal" represents is human self-sacrifice. John McCain sacrificed himself, i.e.: his body, for this country. Only a man that loves America, this nation of human liberty, would so sacrifice. That is the greatest of all reasons to elect someone to be President - Love of America - Loyalty to America - Sacrifice for America.
That leftwing twit, Camille Paglia desperately wants to turn the page because she does not want to be constantly reminded of the fact that the Republicans have a heroic veteran and her side does not. There is nothing in Senator Barak Obama's life that can come close to the circumstances John McCain had to face alone....and that is Presidential. Presidents have to make tough decisions and live with those consequences. Of the two candidates, I know John McCain will make the right decision when he is all alone. He has demonstrated that ability and that is experience that cannot be matched by his opponent.
Ms Paglia, you are a obviously left wing sloth with no ability to see what is good for this country and what is bad. Maybe we should cast a statue of you, and put it in NYC's Central Park, that way all the doves and birds can roost and shit on it. Better yet, just leave America and join your brethren in some other left-wing nonsense country.
