Gen. Wesley Clark On McCain's Presidential Qualifications

  Yesterday on Face the Nation, Gen. Clark had a few not so nice things to say about John McCain's war record not making McCain qualified to be the President of the United States.

  Said Gen. Clark:

"I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war," he added that these experiences in no way qualify McCain to be president in his view:
“He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn't held executive responsibility. That large squadron in the Navy that he commanded — that wasn't a wartime squadron,” Clark said.
“I don’t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.”

   Maybe McCain should just stick to his voting record in the Senate instead of relying on his war record to win the White House. Oh wait! I forgot that McCain's voting record mirrors George Bush's commands. Guess he can't run on that either.

John McCain @ YouTube

  I live on a lake and I've decided that today is a good day to go out on the jet-ski and have a little bit of fun, so I am just going to post a few links to videos of John McCain having some of his town-hall meetings and what-not.

   You can actually hear him flip-flop on issues and take credit for bills that he opposes! Gotta love the straight-talker!

   Below is one with McCain talking about the new GI Bill that was passed, which he opposed, and which he wasn't even at work to vote on. You will see many more at the link provided.

 

  On another note, you can go here to check out some of McCain's greatest hits on the issues.

On Torture:
He's first against it.
And he's definitely against it.
And then he's not and votes to preserve waterboarding.  What a guy!
His explanation? So uh... waterboarding ISN'T torture after all?  Huh?

On being Bush's 3rd Term:

The Future Face of the Leader Of the Free World
Kenner speech
Bad IED joke
Gets pissy about Jimmy Kimmel Old man jokes.  What's the matter?  Can't take the heat from a comedian?

  So go ahead and have a good laugh today! John McCain! Old GOP Comedian!
