The Long Run - In '74 Thesis, the Seeds of McCain's War Views

John McCain arrived at Clark Air Base in the Philippines on March 14, 1973. The time he spent as a prisoner in North Vietnam helped mold his views on war policy and conduct that he discussed later in a thesis.

Mr. McCain is more than half right. He identifies a real problem: Prisoners increased susceptibility to pressure from their captors, because of increased knowledge that the Vietnam Wasr was illegal and wrong.

McCain then goes off the reservation, and advocates a sort of "Why We Fight" series to justify wrong wars.

Far better if America
1) Live up to its promise, and engage in just wars: defensive, and never colonial.( The war in Vietnam was, at heart, not for Communism, but for national freedom from colonial powers.

2) Makes it basic military policy to concentrate more on policy instructing active soldiers to avoid political activity altogether, instead of worrying who they sleep with. It is nearly impossible to do a proper soldierly job if you have reason to question your mission.

From his viewpoint, his argument is perfectly logical; not having understood the nature of the war, he blames "divisive forces, " and "anti-war movement" rather than the top of his own chain of command.

Sometimes it's easier to attack and condemn those who disagree than to counter with logic and reason.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.- A former Clark County Republican chairman has pleaded guilty to criminal deviate conduct, a felony charge that could send him to prison.

Sentencing is set for June 30 for Glenn Murphy Jr., who resigned as county chairman last August following his arrest.

Authorities said he performed oral sex on a sleeping man following a party at a home in Jeffersonville in July. He pleaded guilty in Superior Court on Thursday as part of an agreement that calls for a six-year sentence, with four years suspended...

It's none of my business someone's homosexual. But don't preach to me about the subject, then get caught doing this or "foot tapping" in an airport bathroom!

Also, there's an AMAZINGLY LONG LIST of these kinds of REPUBLICAN SEX SCANDALS at:
... www.republicansexoffenders.com

and the very latest new (pled guilty June, 2008) member of the Republican "Family Values" Party Sleaze Club is:

a former County Republican chairman who pled guilty to attempting to give oral sex to a man, WHILE THE MAN WAS SLEEPING! His name is Glenn Murphy Jr.-- you can google this for more info.

Also, hitting the news 6/14/08, Texas Company Executive and McCain supporter Clayton Williams (who helped McSAME raise $300,000) once joked regarding rape that, "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well LIE BACK AND ENJOY IT."

Good God!
That is ugly bad.

We need the REAL Republicans to come back and recover the GOP.

These disgusting sleazebags who perform oral sex on sleeping drunks are "religious Right" and "lying neo-conservative."

They are not representative of genuine Republicans, but are the forces who pushed them out and took over the party.

They are demented DEVILS.
