Rather than argue about what happened with the POW’s and McCain something that Ross Perot has stated about this:

Ross Perot, who hasn’t given an interview in years, phoned Jonathan Alter at Newsweek and called John McCain the “classic opportunist — he’s always reaching for attention and glory. Other POWs won’t even sit at the same table with him.”

Let’s look at the real problems with Kara’s new hero. From OpenSourceActivist.com:

What would Americans think, then, of the motives of a senator, who not only introduced a bill to improve Mexico’s health care system and extend coverage to a growing population of 120 million people, but gave health insurance companies the right to help devise the plan?

Blatantly corrupt? Grossly indifferent to the well-being of the American people? Downright treasonous?

Unbelievable as it may seem, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 contained a provision giving insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE).

Even more unbelievable, the senator who sponsored the bill is not on the verge of being thrown out of office for this odious piece of legislation. No, the senator who introduced the bill, Senator John McCain of Arizona, is on the verge of locking up the Republican nomination to be our next president.

Given that, why didn’t the Ron Paul campaign bring this issue up? Probably because Bill Dumas agrees with Ross Perot and has big issue with McCain’s treatment of the MIA families. I can understand that, but I think that McCain has other problems.

McCain will destroy America. How? Look at what Frosty Wooldridge has to say:

McCain along with Teddy Kennedy signed the amnesty package for 4.3 million illegal aliens in 1986. They promised to secure the borders 22 years ago. Today, in the last 22 years, they watched 20 million more illegals breach our borders. In June of last year, both senators voted to double legal immigration. Both voted for another amnesty. Both voted for the Dream Act. Both worked to dissolve America’s borders into the North American Union. Both men voted to get 4,000 of our kids killed in Iraq-and more to die.

McCain jokes about bombing Iran (heck when I was young and in the military I thought “Kill them all and let God sort them” was a cool slogan and there were nifty t-shirts with that on it).

McCain won’t have to pick up the pieces after he smashes the U.S. economy into pieces, like he smashed his five planes. Instead he’ll pass the tab onto the children. Remember this is all for the children.

But don’t let what McCain got away in the Navy sway you. I would rather focus on what he keeps doing.

For instance the National Review has this to say about McCain and judges:

So, let’s say Justice Stevens retires. Whom does a President McCain appoint to the Supreme Court? Will he be more inclined to nominate originalist judges or judges who would uphold the suppression of core political speech rights? They are, after all, not likely to be one and the same.

Based on what he did in Wisconsin Right to Life — choosing, when he was under no obligation to do so, to jump in on the side of speech suppression against the pro-life message — why should anyone believe McCain would appoint originalist judges?

If you wonder why McCain so keen about suppressing speech, National Review again comes to the rescue:

In John McCain’s America, any politician who accepts a large contribution or gift from a donor, and then takes steps consistent with the donor’s interests — even though there is no legal quid pro quo — is corrupt. Well, then, by his own standard, McCain is corrupt.

McCain was one of the so-called “Keating Five” senators. He was investigated by the Senate Select Committee on Ethics in 1991 regarding the acceptance of favors from Lincoln Savings & Loan Association (Lincoln) and its owner, Charles H. Keating, Jr. Simply put, the issue was whether McCain and the other senators used their official positions to attempt to pressure Federal Home Loan Bank Board officials to go easy on the troubled institution. Eventually Lincoln went bust, costing depositors and taxpayers millions.

There is a reason why Investor’s Business Daily had a cartoon of an Elephant holding a gun with the word “McCain” on the weapon to the Elephant’s head.

I have no doubt that McCain is good at getting what he wants. But is that really what is in the best interests of Americans? And is does it follow the constitution?
