McCain: 29 Guesses

Enough said.

Why Is McCain’s Military Service Off-Limits?

McCainThis Sunday, General Wesley Clark on Face The Nation questioned McCain’s claim that he is qualified in national security matters because of his experience as a POW.  Here is an article from Huffington Post about the comment.

Here is what Gen. Wesley Clark said (the comments in bold are set by me):

“In the matters of national security policy making, it’s a matter of understanding risk,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s a matter of gauging your opponents and it’s a matter of being held accountable.

Since Barack Obama became the presumptive Democratic Nominee, news broadcasts and political blogs have been littered with political pundits reporting that many Clinton supporters (mainly women) are now going to back McCain in some sort of poorly thought out act of selfish revenge. The comment sections of these sites are full of Clinton supporters bashing Obama and claiming that they will now be voting for McCain in November. The sad part is that they are only hurting themselves and they are too blinded my emotion to see it.
