20. Oh, so McCain excuses himself from admitting what IS true about the surge
Edited on Wed Jul-23-08 05:29 PM by Waiting For Everyman
But Obama is supposed to admit (because McCain says so) what ISN'T true about it.

Both CBS and McCain need to be pinned to the mat on this.

Also, I'd like to see someone bring up McCain's sellout of the POW/MIAs at the 1992 hearings. And his support for torture. How does that wash with his acclaim as a POW? He's the opposite of a hero to me, and I'm the recent widow of a 100% disabled VN vet who was briefly a POW too. I watched with my husband, every minute of those hearings, and McCain is no hero.

See below what Rep. Bob Dornan (R-CA) and Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH) and the top hearing staffers, and POW families have to say about his obstruction then... while he was in the safety of a Senate hearing room, in no danger whatsoever...
