Marty's Mom: You are cracking me up. You post that picture and now you say it doesn't matter. The Flag Code states that you should be standing at attention facing the flag. Since the flag is in the BACK of all them and they are all looking in different directions, how do we really know what is going on here?

Since Republicans enjoy trashing someone's patriotism over technicalites, let's get technical about the flag..shall we?

In January 2008, John McCain autographed a flag for a supporter at a January rally in Keene, N.H. In 2003, President Bush autographed a small flag, which created a stir online. Flag Code: "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."

This election is too important to let yourself be distracted by this rubbish. I could care less that Bush or McCain autographed a flag, but I do care about my son in Iraq, healthcare for Americans, our economy, gas prices, etc. etc.

Whether it was the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance, respectful Americans place their hand over their heart.

You know what they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, maybe he was hungry.

John McCain's Sons

Talk about putting what is most valuable where your mouth is!


Apparently this was not 'newsworthy' enough for the media to comment about Can either of the other presidential candidates truthfully come close to this? .... Just a question for each of us to seek an answer, and not a statement. You see...character is what's shown when the public is not looking. There were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read about, and the story comes from one person in New Hampshire. One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip cookies and a heartfelt talk about Iraq. They had met at a presidential debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do to bring home American soldiers - - soldiers like her brother, who had been killed in action a few months earlier.

Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought his youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the Marine Corps about to leave for Iraq. Father and son sat down to hear more about Ms. Flanagan's brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old Army First Lieutenant killed by an ambush ... a roadside bomb.

No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face similar perils. 'I can't imagine what it must have been like for them as they were coming to meet with a family that .....' Ms. Flanagan recalled, choking up. 'We lost a dear one,' she finished.

Mr. McCain, now the presumptive Republican nominee, has staked his candidacy on the promise that American troops can bring stability to Iraq. What he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who spent seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father's New Hampshire victory in January while he was digging a stuck military vehicle out of the mud.

Two of Jimmy's three older brothers went into the military. Doug McCain, 48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from the Naval Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if elected, could become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower with a son at war. I chose to share this with those who I believe will pass it on, to others who will pass it on. We hear so much inflated trash out there. How about a simple act of kindness ... and dedication to others placed above oneself? Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama has served in The American Armed Services?

This is for all you Barack voters.

From Barack's book, Audacity of Hope:

'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS!!!!!

"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Geez Marty's Mom: Quit with the propoganda. If you quote something, put the whole quote not a line or two and twist it around. This just reinforces my belief that the GOP has no honor.

I honor John McCain's service and that of his sons. However, my husband served honorably in the U.S. Navy--that doesn't mean he's qualified to be President. The same can be said of John McCain.
