From McCain's speech tonight:

"McCain invoked the five years he spent in a North Vietnamese prison. "I
fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's,"
he said. "I was never the same again. I wasn't my own man anymore. I was
my country's."


Did you know McCain was a POW?


He was right though. He was never the same again. He's mentally
damaged from the experience.

Damaged maybe. But not broken. You probably wouldn't have survived the
ordeal.

McCain himself, in his acceptance speech stated that he was broken. He
was broken and made statements against the U.S. during his captivity.

He thinks of Asians as Giooks, and uses that word when he talks about
them. he's been criticized for using that very offensive racist
terminolgy, but has refused to apologize or stop using it.

It's not his fault that he went through that ordeal, but the fact is,
he's damaged goods as a result.
