McCain/Palin: Team from Hell
Questions John McCain Would Not Answer
John McCain was contacted on several occasions to answer some questions for Pravda.ru. Unlike the western corporate media, nothing is hidden here, nothing is out of bounds to ask the candidate. Both he and his staff failed to respond. Those unanswered questions are presented here:
Senator McCain, is it true that as a child, you were quick to anger and you used to hold your breath until you passed out? Was it also true that your parents would put you in a bath of ice water to try and get you to stop?
Is it true that you finished 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy, the absolute bottom of your class?
Is it true that because of your family connections, you were admitted into the flight training program over much more qualified candidates? Is it true that in flight school, your grades were very poor (according to your instructor)?
Is it true that your first wife, while you were a POW, fought to make sure that you came home and you rewarded this loyalty by divorcing her immediately after your return?
Is it true you were known for carousing, womanizing, drinking and a poor choice of companions, and that one month after your divorce, you married Cindy Lou Hensley, wealthy daughter from the prosperous Anheuser-Busch beer fortune?
Is it true that right after you were shot down you were giving interviews to foreign correspondents, providing information on your prior command, casualties and tactics, in violation of the Military Code of Conduct?
Is it true that while a POW for 5 years, you admit to having given information to the enemy while a prisoner of war in exchange for favors?
Is it true that when you returned from captivity, you were ashamed to face your family because of what you did while a prisoner of war?
Is it true that while a member of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs (1991-1993) you referred to POW/MIA family members and activists as whiners, vultures and the lunatic fringe?
Can you comment on your absolutely dismal voting record on veterans’ bills and why so many veterans are angry with you?

Is it true that you fought to improve relations with Vietnam because your family stood to profit greatly because of their large corporate interests in the Budweiser Corporation? Wasn’t Budweiser among the first large US Corporations to enter Vietnam after relations were normalized?
Did you recently tell reporters, "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live" ?
Was it due to bad luck or lack of ability that you lost 5 aircraft in 11 years?
The first one in 1958 when you ditched one plane into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings.
The second was over the Iberian Peninsula while flying too low, taking out some power lines.
The third happened when returning from partying after an Army-Navy game in Philadelphia, you crashed while flying a navy trainer.
The fourth when you were in the cockpit of a plane aboard the USS Forrestal when it was hit by a rocket. The plane was destroyed, and you escaped with some injuries, but 134 sailors in the same vicinity on the Forrestal were killed.
The fifth plane was lost when you were shot down on your 23rd mission in Vietnam where you became a POW?
Is it true that despite having received all sorts of military honors, you had only flown 23 combat missions during the war totaling no more than 20 actual hours in combat?
Do you still stand behind your previous statements to "make it a hundred" years in Iraq and "that would be fine with me that U.S. troops could be in Iraq for 'a thousand years' or 'a million years” as far as you are concerned?
Before a crowd at Murrells Inlet VFW Hall in South Carolina, you were asked when you thought the US Military might "send an air mail message to Tehran" you started singing: “'Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,' to the tune of Barbara Ann. What were you thinking? Does such behavior suggest that you have the ability to deal with national security, foreign relations and diplomacy?
You were also quoted on several instances telling voters they are to expect many other wars. Can you tell us about the wars you are planning on?
It is said you take a lot of medication for arthritis pain and you also suffer from recurrent melanomas, a deadly form of cancer that spreads quickly. Given your age and state of health, what are your chances of being healthy enough to perform the duties of your office if elected?
On March 21, 2008, while speaking at a press conference in Amman, Jordan you falsely accused Iran of harboring and training al-Qaida terrorists. You apologized after Joe Lieberman whispered in your ear that you were wrong. You then withdrew that statement and instead said that “While the Iranian government is training other ‘Islamic extremists’ across the border, that does not mean they are involved with al-Qaida in Iraq.” How does this reflect on your judgment and ability to conduct international relations for your country?
McCain Misleads US Autoworkers
According to the United Auto Workers union (UAW), Senator McCain is not telling the truth about always buying American cars, as the family fleet reportedly includes a Honda and a Volkswagen among the 13 cars they own. Cindy McCain drives a Lexus with the private number plate "Ms Bud" which is registered to Anheuser-Busch.
