Why did McCain Plays the POW Card On the House Gaffe?

Question

Why does McCain always play the POW card when he is in a bind or caught in a gaffe that he really can't explain . Why can't McCain respond on the issues instead of smear and lies ,do he think being a pow give him a pass to be president of the USA?

Answer 1

Your question is baseless and nonsensical.  

Answer 2

Thats the ONLY thing all his experience has taught him

how to cover up !!!

(can you say Keating Five)

Answer 3

McCain's life has been all about 'feeling ' entitled

Answer 4

Its called misdirection...  I'm glad several reporters called him on it afterwards though.

Answer 5

That's all he's got.

Answer 6

That the only card he has. He's just another politician.. when put on the spot, well turn the question around and answer something else.

Michael...

Answer 7

If this election comes down to how many homes the candidates own or think they own we are all in big trouble..    

Answer 8

yes he does. lets hope at 55% ( enough to avoid the court overturning the result for exxon again ) disagree and vote him away

I admire his service (like Kerry's)  but dont have the millions to qualify for his taxcuts and cant afford the gas gouching and health care fiasco much longer nor do i want my great great grand kids to die in Iraq for c**p

Answer 9

do you think since he doesn't own the homes cindy does.that it could be kinda hard considering how many times cindy buys up real estate and sells them.then not to mention all of the ones she has bought for her family.as far as being a pow,he was asked.so in that interview,i can see why he answered it.how about you?
