George McGovern: McCain Doesn’t Know Anything About Foreign Policy

Because all McCain has ever done is get shot down while serving his country in a war and spend 5 years being tortured in a socialist prison camp.

I’m always surprised when liberals take this line of attack on McCain.  Do they really think attacking the man’s honorable service in the military, and his time as a much-tortured prisoner of war, is going to get any traction with mainstream Americans?

Such hyperbole may play well with the far-left, Code Pink and Michael Moore fans but those voting blocs aren’t exactly known for swinging elections.

What’s sad is that the media lets these guys get away with this stuff.  They’ll complain about “swift boating” when you talk about John Kerry’s much-exaggerated stint in Vietnam, but people criticizing McCain for being a POW get a free pass.

Double standards are great, aren’t they?

Apparently, George McGovern’s transformation back from the Dark Side is not yet complete.

Is McGovern still around and does anybody even his own party care what he says?


Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

No foreign policy experience?  The American people didn’t listen to him in 72 and still won’t.  Winning only MA and D.C., wow quite a feat there McGovern.  Isn’t the reason the superdelegates are around is to prevent anther man like you from getting the nomination?



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
