I don't mean to state the obvious again... but I guess you need to hear it again. John McCain was TERRIBLE ACADEMICALLY. Out of 899 people all doing what he was supposed to do he ranked #894... 5th worst. That's not good my friend. It's very easy to look it up Goggle John McCain's class ranking at the Naval Academy.
If your position is being a terrible student and slow lazy learner is good then you are right on track backing John McCain.
But I think someone who knows how to study multiple situations to come up with good judgments seems kinda important right now. A John McCain saying he really doesn't know a lot about the economy when we already know he's always been less than a hard intellectual worker does not inspire any confidence at all.
Just listen to John McCain on economics... he wishes interest rates were 0%... of course that would mean there wasn't any interest which is a rather unlikely banking procedure. And... I need to be educated on the economy.
He's a real bad deal for what we're facing right now in America... a solid C- student.

Oh pleeeeeeeease!
The guy is like 100 years old and 5'6" tall. That Napoleon Syndrome he has only works on his wives and little kids his size. You know like when he calls his own wife a cun! Plus he can barely even walk down a plane ramp... limp, limp, limp...
And you are?????????
Obama is soooo much more a President for the times!
In case you haven't noticed your great Republican leader George Bush besides invading the wrong country and refusing to leave... Credit Crisis... Home Mortgage Meltdown... Major drop in Home values... Fannie May & Freddie Mac looking for a government bailout... Worse inflation in 27 years... Some Banks actually starting to go belly up... Gas & Food prices soaring... and let's not forget GEORGE BUSH fully in charge asleep at the switch not protecting our country on 9-11 when terrorist mowed down 3000 Americans.
Kudos to you and yours!!! Great job running the country.............. into the ground.
I'll be around so we'll see won't we? There's no honest debate that John McCain isn't very old and has had an unbelievable amount of serious health problems. I'm just saying when John McCain losses the election for President he will be looking to leave politics altogether and retire.
You really aren't very patriotic are you?
How about all the people he served with and all the high ranking officers that openly supported Senator Kerry. You act as if your fondness for swift boating fools anybody anymore. I personally was at 2 separate rallies where Vietnam Vets in person could not have been more proud of Senator Kerry... and I can't even count all the major high ranking command that supported Senator Kerry.
I'll not attack peoples serivice to our country. Whether they took out a machine gun nest, threw themselves on a granade, were a prisoner or just served their time and got out... they all still get my respect just for serving.
Of course that has nothing to do with being qualified to be President of the United States. If it were than every homeless veteran on the street would be the CEO of a major company.
I'm making things up???... you are seriously clueless aren't you my friend? The Geneva Convention says you cannot torture (that would be Article 3). Water boarding is torture and even John McCain used to agree with that. You know John McCain was against torture before he was for it. And these are just some of the many reasons why.
ACLU Outlines Ways Water boarding has Already Been Declared Illegal by the Federal Government (11/8/2007)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: media@dcaclu.org
Washington, DC – As the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties hears testimony today regarding torture and interrogation of detainees, the American Civil Liberties Union presents indisputable evidence that water boarding has been repeatedly classified as torture and is banned by U.S. law. Water boarding has been the subject of intense controversy recently as attorney general candidate Michael Mukasey has refused to classify it as torture.
Amrit Singh, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, will testify today about how harsh interrogation techniques -- including waterboarding -- are both illegal and ineffective for gaining reliable intelligence.
Congress has enacted four statutes and ratified two treaties that prohibit torture of all kinds. By any reasonable reading of the statutes, waterboarding is a crime. Waterboarding is also considered illegal under both Senate-ratified treaties.
The applicable laws are:
The federal Anti-Torture Act; the federal War Crimes Act which, even as amended by the Military Commissions Act, bans acts such as waterboarding; federal criminal assault laws, which, under the PATRIOT Act, apply to all assaults by or against Americans on or in overseas facilities designated for the use of the federal government; the McCain Amendment in the Detainee Treatment Act; the Senate-ratified Convention Against Torture; and the Senate-ratified Geneva Conventions (particularly Common Article 3, which prohibits torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees).
"While we support legislation to put the entire government, rather that just the Defense Department, under the Army Field Manual on Interrogations, waterboarding has long been a crime," said Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel for the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "Other than administering electric shocks or using the rack, it is hard to find a more clear-cut form of torture than waterboarding."
And for Christ Sake here's old John McCain himself in his own words... guess what... Flip Floppin' all over another issue. This time torture & water boarding. Can't get more proof than the guys OWN WORDS! Sad... very sad.
