Item Description
John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is the senior United States Senator from Arizona and presidential nominee of the Republican Party in the 2008 presidential election.
McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958, placing 894th out of a graduating class of 899. He became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. Prior to service during the Vietnam War, McCain crashed three jet airplanes while practicing. During the Vietnam War, he nearly lost his life in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. Later that year while on a bombing mission over North Vietnam, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese. He was held from 1967 to 1973, experiencing episodes of torture and refusing an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer; his war wounds would leave him with lifelong physical limitations.

How can I not vote for McCain? He is the only sensible choice. Obama is fluff.

Sorry folks, this election is a no-brainer. How can you compare someone who has risked their life for this country then gave back more by spending the rest of their time working to make this country great and free. John McCain isn't some politician that has been groomed for politics by a self interest group. He is a true leader. Being a veteran myself is not why I will vote for him.
Al Gore and John Kerry were both vets. But they were of questionable character. Neither served a full year in Vietnam. I was opposed to both. Kerry would never release his war records and slandered his fellow veterans with lies to further his political career. Kerry put himself up for medals for minor bruises and small cuts. Gore was never in combat while assigned to the big secure bases in Saigon and only stayed 5 months. Gore's war campaign photo shows him in the jungle of Vietnam on a mission. See photo attached. Notice that there is no magazine in his M-16 rifle below the HQ in left photo and in right photo notice the black plastic dust cover over the flash supressor. You DID NOT go outside the wire without being LOCKED & LOADED. This photo was a fraud. A real vet knows these things and what to look for. The old saying , "there's no subsitute for experience".
So there it is. Experience vs an empty suit full of empty promises. I can't believe the Democratic Party has insulted the intelligence of their voters by nominating Obama. They must think we voters are really stupid. I am of neither party. I vote for the best qualified person, John McCain.

I am neutral to sides but care for what is best for our country. I am really excited that candidate John McCain has chosen Alaska's Governor, Sarah Palin for vice president. How cool is that?
I do agree with the other comments, though, John McCain is a little bit older. Hopefully with that age comes wisdom.

I am a supporter of democrat by heart, but I cannot ignore this true leader who can take US to the top of the world again, on this time of lost glory in many parts of the world.His proven acumen to administer and to lead a team to perform is the key to his success.

So, I am Republican and I will vote for good ole McCain. Well, that is if I vote. I am having an internal war with myself. I know I should vote, but I don't think it will make a big difference either way. If I vote, it isn't going to change the outcome. Plus, I am just educated enough about politics to know that I DO NOT know anything about politics. But, maybe I will be able to take an hour or so off of work. If that is the case, then caulk up one more vote for future President McCain.
