It has been written that John McCain is his own special interest.
Starting with a military career wrought with mediocrity and nepotism and culminating in a despicable and fraudulent presidential campaign (even for a Republican) that the likes of Satan himself, Karl Rove, has denounced as failing the “truth test” with ads that go “too Far”, McCain has proven over and over that the only thing greater than his ambition is his ability to sell out his entire political career.
But the corporate owned media seem unable to place any of the facts together and present for the American people a true picture of the man who laughingly refers to himself as a Maverick & an American Hero.
For Instance:
John McCain is not a “Maverick”
His checkered past reads like that of another spoiled millionaire brat from a powerful family -- George Bush Jr.
First, he did not have an unvarnished military career. He barely graduated 894 out of 899 from Annapolis Naval College in Maryland and he repeatedly leaned on his family who are military royalty (his father & grandfather are 4 star admirals) to get into or be kept from getting kicked out every school he attended. Without his family’s connections McCain most certainly would have been dismissed long before Vietnam came along to ordain him as an American Hero.
Phil Butler, a classmate who attended Annapolis naval college with McCain & roomed across the hall has said, "He was a huge screw-off," recalls Butler. "He was always on probation. The only reason he graduated was because of his father and his grandfather — they couldn't exactly get rid of him."
McCain himself described his time at Annapolis as a "four-year course of insubordination"
From being dragged into court on a profanity charge (WTF ?) his sophomore year to a dark misogynistic streak which led him to plot a course for Rio so he could “get laid” (this while being married with children) according to John Dramesi a fellow pilot. McCain has led anything but an exemplary life of service suitable for the future leader of the free world.
"I enjoyed the off-duty life of a Navy flier more than I enjoyed the actual flying," McCain writes. "I drove a Corvette, dated a lot, spent all my free hours at bars and beach parties."
Not only is he not Abe Lincoln. He isn’t even Grover Cleveland.
McCain is not the war hero he pretends to be
FACT: McCain was shot down over Hanoi and held captive there as a P.O.W.
However, the image of the brave American soldier who sacrifices himself for his country and reveals nothing to his captors is one that does not apply to McCain. John Dramesi was an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was also shot down, held captive and even attempted to escape twice for which he was tortured even more severely than McCain never provided any information to the enemy. He described McCain’s image as a selfless American hero who placed his country 1st as definitely misleading.
“This business of my country before my life? “ Dramesi says, “Well, he had that opportunity and failed miserably. If it really were country first, John McCain would probably be walking around without one or two arms or legs — or he'd be dead."
The U.S. military's Code of Conduct for Prisoners of War dictates that P.O.W.‘s are bound to give only their name, rank, date of birth and service number — and to make no "statements disloyal to my country."
McCain knew that his status as son of a navy admiral would be very valuable to the enemy. So he did what any red blooded American hero worthy of the presidency would have done. He volunteered the information himself. Very heroic.
"I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital," he later admitted pleading with his captors. He also later admitted in his book that “ my fathers identity was directly related to his survival.”
Now if it had been me I’d have told them anything they wanted to hear from giving up the secret recipe for Twinkies to how I single handedly started the Korean war but then I don’t believe in anything as limiting as a country or borders. I believe in people. But I also don’t go around claiming to be an American Hero either.
John McCain is a Flip Flopper
He has flip flopped his way into the Republican nomination & throughout this campaign.
So why can’t the media come out & say so ? Or the Democratic Party for that matter ?
