Chuckie, if he had gone, I have little doubt that you would criticize him for using wounded soldiers for political gain and be just as agitated.

McCain's "clean campaign" is shooting blanks. They come up with new and more ridiculously illogical statements every day. Let me make a Chuck-like prediction here -- the Republican party is going to have to find a viable candidate if they care at all about having a hope in hell this election. McCain's bus is running off the road before the fall. He's losing it, big time. Maybe he'll withdraw, citing medical reasons.

Politicians have always visited hospitals with wounded troops. It's just the thing you do to show respect.
The fact that you are covering for him and see nothing wrong with it, shows you don't have the faintest idea of what those wounded vets are lying in those beds for.
Shame on all of you. It's obviously a "values" issue, and I can see we "diverge" of this "value" also.
Maybe Obama should run for Secretary General of the UN, and he can back slap with Hamas. |

Regardless of the sadly popular opinion here, I feel his decision to "skip" on the wounded troops is tasteless at best and inexcusable.

Maybe he figures trying to win the troops' vote is a lost cause...why visit these promulgators of an illegal and winless war for which he voted against in the first place? |

Anyways, here's my issue with the "issue." Why does it have to be this specific hospital on this specific trip that he absolutely must visit? If you can't answer that, then you really don't have a logical complaint. |
