1. Yeah but he was beaten for 5 1/2 years in a prison camp
You can never question a veteran no matter what. It trumps everything. Unless, of course, that veteran happens to be a Democrat running for president.

10. pow means anything horrible he does ever, e.g., as president, is beyond reproach.
he could nuke london and embezzle trillions and hanitty would still be screaming FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!!!!!!

i mean, if it excuses cheating and lying, why wouldn't it excuse high crimes and misdemeanors?

3. McCain's Too Old. He's Sickly and Senile
Just say that. All the time. No matter what the issue.

6. I reject the whole premise
If you're unfaithful to your wife, it's no damn business of mine.

Period. End of sentence.

14. That's true
I'm critical of the hypocrisy, not of the actual act.

7. Solution. The office of president should only be held by eunuchs.

9. Considering his offspring it would have been a blessing to us.
Considering his wife, it would have been a blessing to him.

13. That's not a right-wing statement.
I'm about as far left as you'll get in this nation, and I've always said that.

I don't care who the cheater is; what gender, or what party. A cheater can't be trusted not to cheat.

The idea that people compartmentalize their ethics, so that they shine in honoring public commitments while fail in honoring private commitments is delusional. In my opinion.

We are what we are, and beneath the face we wear to the world, we are no different publicly than privately.

If the Democratic Party wanted to take the high ground, they would publicly acknowledge this and stop defending their own cheaters.

That would lend some weight to comments about the republican cheaters and make it an authentic point, instead of political "spin."
