Do young liberals seem to believe everything they hear against McCain without any checking of their own?

Question

It kind of looks that way. Let me briefly explain. I have seen so many remarks from apparently younger liberals who are going on and on about McCain being too frail to be president, looking like McCain has been too old or too many health problems.

Did any of you know that when McCain was a POW, he was tortured for 5 years? He had 2 arms and one leg broke when he ejected from his plane over North Vietnam and those breaks were not set right, that is why his arms can not move freely above his head. That is why he looks frail.

His mother is alive and well in her mid-nineties. His grandfather fought in two (2) world wars. This is just from memory and I am sure there are plenty of examples out there if you could bother yourself to check.. Long genes live in his family.

So my question stands, do liberals bother checking anything they hear against McCain or do they just believe the hate-filled lies being spouted by other liberals?

McCain can not

Answer 1

Gosh I DON'T CARE THAT HE WAS A POW AND THAT HIS MOTHER IS 90 YEARS OLD...IT'S IRRELEVANT!

I know the facts about McCain. Why didn't you mention that he has had three bouts with a very aggressive form of skin cancer. If he became president, it'll be very demanding especially for a 72 year old man who isn't in excellent health and who is a former POW.

Answer 2

I believe the facts. I don't give a **** about his age.

Answer 3

Geeeeez, we already know that he was a POW. That is his standard answer to everything. Having said that, I think what happened to him was horrible, but that doesn't automatically mean that he should be our president. It's great that his mom is still alive, I wish mine was, but this is not a qualification either. Lol, I am glad that "Long genes live in his family". ( what are long genes?) This isn't a qualification either.  I have read every single piece of information that I could find about him. I'm sorry, I just can't like the man. Why don't you try looking up how he treats/treated other polititians he works/worked with and all of the obscenities he hurls/hurled at them when he didn't get his way? You failed to mention this one. His temper is unmatched, he is arrogant and intimidating. Whether a man can raise his arms above his shoulders or freely turn his head has nothing to do with this election and should not be a part in it, so drop that already. His speeches are so bad that they could put an insomniac to sleep because he only parrots Bush. It is so transparant to me why "all of a sudden" he is not wanting Bush around him, or hardly mentions his name. Duh, that's a no brainer. I think I remember just a short while back I saw Bush dancing on the white house steps while he was waiting for McCain to show up so they could go to lunch.

So my answer to your question stands, I check out everything I can about everyone running for office, and I don't like what I see in McCain or his VP choice. He won't be getting my vote or my husbands, and BTW, we are not young liberals. We are people who are sick of the last eight years and don't want anything more to do with anyone who is associated with making them the worst eight years for us as a couple. You are more than welcome to see things as you like, that is what America is all about, but you won't make me feel bad for not agreeing with you.

Answer 4

I'll give McCain Respect for serving our country and being a POW. Much respect... HOWEVER... that doesn't make him the best candidit

for President just because he's a war hero. besides.. I don't want anymore wars..... and he supports that ****. I'm sorry but i don't want another war and Money hungry crooked President in office for another 4 to 8 years... Please Vote OBAMA!

ok that's all....

Answer 5

I don't have time to do any research.  I just watch MSNBC.  They have lots of reporters that do all that fact checking stuff.

Answer 6

These are the same people that were " positive" Trig was Bristols baby

Still waiting for one of them to explain how a 5 month pregnant girl can have a 4 month old child.

Guess they have not reached that section in high school biology yet.

The most important fact of all is he has a better record of reaching across party lines to get things done than Biden or Obama.

Answer 7

I think you meant to ask "Do Republicans seem to believe everything they hear against Obama without any checking of their own."

Glad I could help.

Answer 8

It would seem that way. But as Churchill once said, if you are 25 years old and not a liberal you don't have a heart; if you are 35 years old and not a conservative you don't have a brain.  

Answer 9

McCain and everything else, remember these youngsters form opinions on emotions and nothing else.

Answer 10

Yes they do.

Answer 11

Well, as it is clear that some people can't even look up liberal in a dictionary and instead insert a propagandistic definition thereof, I would be terribly careful where you're waving that finger, lad.

You don't get to redefine a term because Rush Limbaugh uses it incorrectly. He also uses prescription drugs incorrectly, and I hope you don't think that gives you permission to.

Answer 12

They just blindly believe the hate filled lies and blindly follow Obamessiah.

Answer 13

I speak for most conservative 22yr old when I say this. You young College Liberals need to get your head out of the clouds and check you facts! You cant get something for nothing!!!! You make people my age look like idots!!

Answer 14

The exact same thing could be said in reverse: Do conservatives believe everything they hear about Obama without fact checking?
