McCain gave a quiet speach with a struggle to make grand gestures to a small group in a little room...
Obama gave a grand speach with vast appeal, to a huge group in a stadium.
doesn't he have jacked up arms from the war?

Yep. Each time he tries to raise his arms above podium level most people understand the sacrifice he made.doesn't he have jacked up arms from the war?

Bob Dole's was from burns suffered. McCain's was from toture he received after crashing in VN.Ohh, I guess I was getting him confused with Dole who I am sure had the same afflicition!

Yup.How did Dole get the burns? In battle, right?
You'd have to ask McCain. I'm not all that up on it. Most of the torture, as far as I understand it, happened at the beginning of his captivity when they wanted him to make videos talking about his "crimes".By McCain refusing to go home when offered to be allowed to do so, did someone else get to take his place, did they release a different prisoner?
If he was held prisoner and tortured into it? I don't think you'd hear "boo" about it. However, Kerry did it by choice when he returned.He did admit to being a black pirate and said something about Americans being war criminals. I dont hold that against him at all. But imagine had Kerry done that?

Kerry told the truth about what was occuring over in VN. A brave thing to do under the circumstances.
I dont blame McCain at all, I do however think the Conservatives would exploit it had it come from a Democrat. They would claim the tourture thing was just a lie, and that he merely had a scratch and thats why he got a purple hart.
NO DOUBT.
They said Kerry lied to get his silver star, was a coward who ran from battle, and shot himself to get a purple heart.
How hard would it be for them to say Kerry lied or exaggerated about being tortured?
You mean McCain?
No, if kerry were captured and tortured, the GOP would say he was lying.
