Re: John McCain Acceptance Speech Drinking Game
[quote=88Mariner;644845]Duty? Honor? Sacrifice? What good are those things for an american president? Sacrifice what for whom? Liberties for scheming terrorists? Or was it for blastocysts? I forget.
Duty? He was in a military family. He joined the military. Duty is required.
Honor? McCain has very little in that department. He's not only denied benefits for his fellow officers and servicemen, but he exploits his POW status to no end. If you want honor, he's one of the last hundred or so guys I'd choose. Ron paul never bragged about that stuff, and only responded when asked. McCain went so far as to say "I have the scars". Well whooptie fuckin do. Your judgement sucks and your character sucks.[/quote]
Hey i get it, his speech makers and handlers are beating a dead horse with the whole POW thing, but there's not a one of us that could have endured what he went through in captivity. I myself would be in a corner drooling in a cup if I got .01% of the beating McCain did in Vietnam. You can see that it has destroyed him physcially & that it makes him uncomfortable to talk about it, but he earned the right to stand where he is today and speak his peace.
Ron Paul is a whole different issue, he's not standing behind that podium because he's made too many enemies in the republican party. McCain may not be the best candidate, and more often my libertarian side says to sit this election out...
i just take issue with the patriotism jokes, references to "cliche", and such...
