Why McCain now?

Why was John Kerry's military service pushed aside and not important to Republicans in 2004, but now, McCain's military experience all of a sudden is? Are they they original flip-floppers, or does McCain simply not bring anything exciting to the table?

    Typical neocons, they want their cake and they want to eat it too. They will degrade anyone on the other side of the aisle if they think it will get just one more vote. It is sad that people feed off of this BS. They want desperately to be able to "swift boat" Obama, but they haven't been too successful thus far. It is only making them look desperate and ignorant.

    I am an Obama supporter. And I really don't know why McCain has been chosen to represent the Republican party. The Republican Party and him do not even agree on he issues. Mitt Romney was a better candidate then Mccain

    McCain simply DOES NOT bring anything exciting to the table. Just more GWB! And if John Sidney is this Maverick - how come he lost to Bush in 2000 = the world knew back than that GWB was incompetent, what does that say for McCain.

    Kerry was a poser. Dishonorable discharge, but then reinstated under Carters Amnesty program for draft dodgers and other miscreants.

    And still has not released his complete military records as promised.

    Miscreant with 3 purple hearts? Shameless...so much for supporting war heroes - you can't pick and choose - either you support your war heroes or you pretend to when it suits you.

    Because John Kerry committed WAR CRIMES.
