John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    McCain's ugly speech. Well we do know wo McCain is, a war criminal for bombing Vietnamese civilians and a TRAITOR for COLLABORATING WITH THE ENEMY WHILE A P.O.W.

    The mystery is how did McCain evolve into being a self professed hero WHILE BEING A WAR CRIMINAL AND TRAITOR. McCain does not support Veterans 80% of the time, he votes to fund the VA, Veterans Administration, 20% of the time and consistently votes to DENY BENEFITS TO Veterans that he has enjoyed since his birth in a U.S. government hospital and his Annapolis appointment which was secured because of his Admiral father's political connections. McCAIN DID NOT GO TO ANNAPOLIS BASED ON MERIT. McCain has lived on his government benefits for his whole life, which includes his 5 years by the Vietnamese government EVEN THOUGH HE ADMITTED AND CONFESSED TO BEING A WAR CRIMINAL THERE.McCain routinely denies the same benefits he enjoys to others, especially Veterans.
