Hate? Naw, just surprise. As I've said, just take a few steps into researching JM and realize who he is. For example, he was seriously considering switching sides to the Democrats at few years ago. His main pal in the Senate is Ted Kennedy. He was part of the Gang of 14 organized to block appointment of F

Tobruk42,

You are missing the point. The fact that McCain is a Democrat in conservative clothing is not really in dispute BUT, that does not nullify his military service.

He DID serve in the military and he DID spend several years being tortured in a POW camp. Period! Whether or not you believe you have found evidence he was wearing women's underwear, worshipping the devil and sleeping with farm animals during that time is totally irrelevant. His military service is a fact and ought to be respected.

When you attempted to take McCain's military service away from him you offended every man here who has served in the military; especially those who served in Viet Nam and were less than warmly received by their countrymen when they returned from the war.

Now, if McCain sponsored legislation that abandons still missing Gis and POWs and offends their families, fine. That may be legitimate reason to hate his guts. But that is the politician JM, not the soldier JM. His current possibly despicable behavior does not nullify his past service. Do you see why members here might be offended and expect you to apologize?
