(Newser) – Despite a Republican full-court press that included a call from Sen. John McCain, Pennsylvania Rep. Chris Carney won’t jump ship from the Democratic Party, he tells Roll Call. The GOP has gotten “nibbles” from Carney, a source told Politico earlier, leading to the call from McCain, a fellow Navy veteran who carried Carney’s district by 9% over Barack Obama in last year’s election.

The man's service to his country doesn't mean anything compared to how he kicked his first wife to the curb as soon as he got back. Poor woman raised his children and kept the faith during McCains POW years, and he returned her faith by having affairs. Not a credible man.

Lots of navy pilots crash 4 planes and get shot down once. Usually they're court martialed but it does happen. I guess being the son and grandson of a Navy Admiral has it's perks.

You show your ignorance to discredit a man such as John McCain, I doubt your service to country has been near his, yet you throw insults from a safe distance, cowards all.
