Re: Right Wing Media Myth #2: John McCain has Military Experience

Mccain has experience in the military, true... Obama does not, also true... but GENERAL Wesley Clark was a commander of military forces and IMO a much better judge of military qualifications than say... you.

How far do you think McCain would have gone had his father and grandfather not been four star admirals in the Navy?

He wouldn't have become a jet fighter pilot, that's for damn sure... but since his daddy was an admiral, McCain got preferential treatment...

McCain is an elitist in the same way that bush was... their daddys pulled strings... and they reaped the benefits.
