1) a lot of prominante obama supporters...wesley clark for one....and then there are these guys....
Obama adviser Rand Beers said yesterday that "because [McCain] was in isolation essentially for many of those years and did not experience the turmoil here or the challenges that were involved for those of us who served in Vietnam during the Vietnam war," that "to some extent his national security experience in that regard is sadly limited and I think it is reflected in some of the ways that he thinks about how U.S. forces might be committed to conflicts around the world."

Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller:
“Frankly, other than hot-button issues like campaign finance reform… he isn’t grounded in issues that affect people. All of a sudden he’s for all the tax cuts he was against. He’s a fighter pilot. He flies at 35,000 feet and drops laser-guided bombs, missiles. He was long gone when they hit. What happened down there, he doesn’t know. That’s unkind, because that’s fighting for your nation and that’s honorable. But you sort of have to care what goes on in the lives of people…. “

2) yes they are you're pink panties must be filtering reality again...a common problem with the left.
3) how do you spell typical left twist of reality. Big difference between the 2...mccain didn't come home and pretend to throw his metals away while accusing the military of all kinds of atrocities that were never proven have even the slightest bit of legitimacy to them...then 30 years later launch presidential campaign bragging about his service...what was word were you looking to spell again? hypocritical? here's the definition...clearly you need a little refresher
1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.
