A fellow POW, Philip Butler, in Viet Nam with John McCain speaks out. I link it here because it is long. He cites the lack of being impressed with McCain's standing of 5th from the bottom in a class of 800 from the Naval Academy. Furthermore, he had arrived 2 1/2 years earlier than McCain, spending a total of 8 years of his life there at the 'Hanoi Hilton'. There is a major focus in his description that nothing a POW did would recommend his competence for being President of the USA. Most striking is his observation that he may be a maverick but his political views mimic those of the man he purportedly hates, G W Bush.
Another who writes on a similar theme is Michael Moore, who dares ask and say what the cowardly media does not dare write. I have not yet read the Michael Moore book, Mike's Election Guide 2008. Posted by Liliana Segura, AlterNet staff writer, she quotes Moore as asking what is so heroic about McCain being shot down while bombing innocent civilians? She does not "Swift Boat' him, merely puts what he did and who he is in proper perspective. If you have any interest in who becomes our next President, it would behoove you to read both articles and make your own conclusions after you've decided in whom you can place your trust of the red button control, the US economy, and the White House and all the appointments that a President will make for the next four years.
