I have sat amazed at the number of lies, misdeeds, and general malfeasance that Grandpa McCain can get away with by restating the fact that he was once a POW in a war to keep Vietnam “French.” Even more mystifying is that his supporters seem to go along with this excuse rather blindly. It almost works but not quite. Try this at home see if it sounds as stupid to you as it does to me.
Repeat after me (it helps if you shout it out):
He didn't have to keep his vows to his first wife, he was a POW!
He didn't have to look past his first wife's injuries, he was a POW!
He did not have to be a father to his first children, he was a POW!
He did not have to follow the law and not bilk investors, he was a POW!
He did not have to avoid a ton of shady real estate deals, he was a POW!
He did not have to avoid lobbyists and all their money, he was a POW!
He did not have to avoid cheating on his second wife, he was a POW!
He did not have to remember how many houses he owns, he was a POW!
He did not have to avoid playing the race card, he was a POW!
He can’t lose this election, he was a POW!
Now, calm down and breathe. There are probably others but if this still does not seem like a silly defense, for a human being of very poor character, try replacing POW with BLACK. The truth hurts but without pain there is little gain.
Feel free to disagree…
