A Spanish-language McCain radio ad gets nearly all its facts wrong.

I said none but you're too dense to understand plain English.Bush would have been dishonorably discharged from the Guard had it not been for BigDaddy........after all he was a "legacy" admission to Ivy League.He's one of the dumbest presidents of all time and his legacy proves it.And you idolize him like a redstater lapdog that you are.

All your gibberish and prattle won't stop the Obama Express.....must be hard for you to comprehend the upcoming reality of an Afro-American president.

Prolife now claiming presidents need war experience after smearing Silver Star war hero Kerry four years ago when he ran against not just one but two cowardly draft-dodgers and charlatan war profiteers. Prolife, quit betraying your country. Go abort yourself. You have disgraced yourself and your country. You need to repent and start confessing your long litany of horrendous hateful sins. You are a guilty man. A real un-Christian un-American. Clean your act up.

The US is not a military run nation and military service is not a prerequisite for public office.

The difference between Obama's and Bush's service and is that Bush's is surrounded in bullsh*t and lies.

McCain lied to a vet today who challenged him for voting against veterans benefits for five straight years. It was on all the networks. Straight talk my ass. That guy has totally sold out to the Bushie bastards.

Bush was arrested for cocaine in 1971. That's why he couldn't show up for duty and went AWOL. The press knows this but for some reason refused to report it. They all read "fortunate Son" and know it's true. But once Rather was stabbed in the back, they all laid off and the Bush family kept their dirty secret.

So they gave us four more years of disasterous corrupt policies and trillions in new debt. Millions of Americans will have their lives damaged or ruined as a result. Thousands more will die or be wounded. It really is a tragedy. American will recover but it will take a long time. Bush-Cheney have damaged this country so badly it may take 20 years to undo what they have done. And in the meantime, Americans will suffer as a result.
