John McCain is self-serving without honor

John McCain has shown that he comes first and has lost any shread of decency he once had along with the tiny fraction of honor he had left. The man is proving he is not honorable. He cannot run on his record and has consistently tried to run away from his own record as well as the Bush administration he supported so much so that he boasted he voted with the Bush administration almost 90% of the time. Back then he thought only the Republican's were watching the GOP primary debate but the truth is, America was watching. He is self-serving without honor.

McCain can claim he supports veterans until he turns blue but it will not make it the truth. We know his record well. He can say he deserves honor and votes for being a POW, but cannot run away from what he did after his return to this nation. He can claim he served the American people all these years in the Senate but he served only himself going back to the Keating 5 and the Lincoln Savings and loan scandal because he wanted the power enough to sell out the tax payers backing Keating. While McCain served as a senator from Arizona, it was up to them to judge him and the rest of the nation allowed him to operate below the radar until he decided he wanted to control the entire nation in the lead job. Now the national eye is on him and frankly, we no longer like what we see. He is not who we thought he was. The man has no conscience to feel ashamed of how low he has sunk. This nation deserved better out of him and so have the veterans he betrayed. It's time for McCain to answer for his own character and his own actions instead of coming up with lies about Obama.

I thought his votes against veterans were about as low as a person could get but he sunk even lower by claiming he supports them looking them right in the eye. He's lying now still looking at us right in the eye.

Vets group slams McCain on voting record

The nation’s most prestigious group for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans released a congressional scorecard Tuesday that ranks Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain of Arizona as having one of the worst voting records to support troops and veterans.

The grade is due to his absence on several key votes on military and veterans’ issues over the last two years.

McCain, ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee and a decorated Navy fighter pilot who spent 5½ years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, received a D on the report card from Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. D is the lowest grade given by the nonprofit, nonpartisan group, and McCain is one of just four senators and five members of the House of Representatives who received such a low grade. McCain also is the only veteran among the nine who received a D on the record card.

"If John McCain wants to have a character debate, then I'm happy to have that debate because Mr. McCain's record, despite him calling himself a maverick, actually shows that he is continually somebody who relies on lobbyists for big oil and big corporations," Obama told CNN.

"One of the things we've done throughout this campaign, we don't throw the first punch. But we'll throw the last."

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AFP) - Republican John McCain questioned Barack Obama's character, while the Democrat pressed his foe's alleged weakness on economic issues as tempers escalated ahead of the White House rivals' debate Tuesday.

Both candidates intensified their attacks ahead of the second of three presidential debates, this one to be staged in a "town hall" format with less than a month remaining before the November 4 vote.

The debate was to feature questions from undecided voters in the audience, a format preferred by McCain who frequently paces the stage and engages directly with voters, in contrast to Obama whose style tends to be more reserved and contained.
