76. Why does everyone think that John McCain was heroic for being a POW for five years? According to the articles of the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice)the "bible" for all military personnel, regardless of rank, to follow, it states that any captured military personnel will make every attempt to resist capture, attempt escape, and not provide the enemy any information other than name, rank and service number. John McCain collaborated with the enemy during those five years providing them with information that was used as propaganda by the VC. He made no attempt(s) to escape his captors nor try to reek any form of havoc on same. Being an admiral's son brought him special status as a prisoner and he took advantage of it. This story will come to light as the campaign continues. John McCain in not the hero he wants everyone to think he is.

77. This is an absolutely stupid comment and un-American for you to say that. Senator McCain was tortured for those years stupid. It wasn't like he was on vacation idiot. If you were getting electrocuted with clamps on your balls, I bet you would give in little by little too.

The UCMJ was meant for the military not for idiots like you. It says to resist the enemy to the "best of your ability."

Do yourself a favor dufus and don't ever quote from the UCMJ.

78. Senator Obama will win the third and last debate and the elections. We will stay up and watch the debate from Munich, Germany. We have been closely following the elections and are really happy that Senator Obama has a lot of supporters in the US. Almost 90% of the European population support Senator Obama and hate the idea of McCain/Palin (or better McCanine/Palabuse) winning the elections. Such a catastrophic outcome of the elections would throw America back into the 19th century. McCains’s conservatism is a clear prove for his intentions to seek to preserve the status quo, i.e. to continue the disastrous politics of G.W. Bush. McCain tells lies when he denies this intention. He will fail to bring about any change, he is just plagiarizing Senator Obama’s ideas. He vows to bring the soldiers home in victory. Years after the invasion of Iraq there is no positive or constructive outcome of this “war”, except for the execution of Saddam. The super power America has not won the “war” in Iraq, it has only managed to destroy the country and its infrastructure.
All McCain wants is to sate his own vanity, the presidential elections represent for him a kind of vanity fair. Therefore, he should rather use his brains instead of his whip! It is really unbearable to hear his primitive comments within an election campaign. He is senile, has not even been able to finish his studies, is not even able to operate a computer. He has no vision pertaining to the economy, is not qualified to solve the huge problems America is coping with. The huge mess has been created by his party, i.e. by Bush, the oil mafia, the weapon industry and the primitive warriors.
His accusations and personal attacks against Senator Obama are unfair and unfounded. There is absolutely no evidence that Senator Obama supports terrorist acts. McCain should rather read Michel Chossudovsky’s book: America's "War On Terrorism" or Michel Chossudovsky “Cover-up or Complicity of the Bush Administration?” and use this brains in order to understand who are responsible for 9/11. Many European people and a lot of scientists are convinced that the Bush administration had monitored the attacks of 9/11. Bush simply needed a pretext for waging a major military operation in the Middle East and Central Asia and invented the war on terrorism. The only chance for the unprepossessing, little man Bush to enter the annals of history was to use his weapons instead of his brains.
As for the “patriotic” Palin, the Republican supporters should rather examine her husband’s membership in the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP), which is a real security problem for all Americans. The narrow-minded, ignorant Palin does not even know where Afghanistan is located. She called Afghanistan "our neighboring country"! If she were to decide on firing a missile to Afghanistan, the missile would hit innocent people in Canada! It would be a terrible nightmare.
Almost all of her assertions are based on lies. She tells lies to the American public when she claims to be the mother of the youngest child. The public prosecutor should institute legal proceedings against her and charge her with fraud. A DNA test would clearly prove that the child is not hers. Palin made her pregnant daughter Bristol a public figure to kill a rumor and announced that Bristol is going to marry the individual who impregnated her and whose age remains unknown. The question of his age is a matter of concern, given that Bristol might have been 16 years old at the time he impregnated her.
Palin is a notorious liar who possesses the impertinence to use a baby for her purposes. She actually belongs in jail rather than the White House.
She and McCain should simply disappear from the political scene. I completely agree with Brigitte Bardot, who wrote in an open letter to Palin: "I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the world," "By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe," see: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article4907622.ece
I hope this senile old man will not call the audience at the 3. debate: "my friends", because it sounds ridiculous. I am not his friend. He should not call Senator Obama, "that one", because such primitive vocabulary applies to himself and to his running mate Palin. The US needs an honest president, a person possessing dignity, high moral qualities and not a clown and an ignorant hockey-mom. The whole world is watching the US. So, I hope that every intelligent American will make the right decision and vote for Obama/Biden.
