Logic, you are named correctly.  That was an outstanding response to what struck me as a ridiculous post by a person with a history of such outbursts.  I only wish we'd see more of your contriutions here.

Where does this world get it's problems? Us I guess.

You really should have read it all. I gave McCain credit for his service, his  public and faithful record, AND his strong intellect, though not quite as strong as Obama's, who didn't spend any time in any war, much less a POW camp. I didn't however consider that some didn't know(and should have mentioned it) that McCain clearly explained his reasons for any lacking in computer skills.  Besides, if you watched any news, from any network you would have been able to, should you have cared to recall, Sen. McCain has relied upon his POW suffering no less than(documented) 47 times during the past 2 years. Had he been so debilitated to such an extent, he would have no problem with certain humility, to have decalred it and declared it loudly. So just as one would give you credit for a, "bladder control problem" and like many others across this nation, reactionary response. It would have served you well as it has Sen. McCain, to have taken the time to listen to why he's not fond of computers. No sir/madam, he isn't unable to use one. Watch him write and manipulate ALL of his digital extremeties.

Now it comes to this. I have two nephews, Gary and Larry. Larry who suffered an eart attack and drowned by the way in the Mississippi 26 years ago saving a little girl's life, decorated skills he learned in the Navy who spent 3 tours, Gary 2 tours, in Vietnam. We do so miss Larry. But Gary... on his second tour that had to be his last, doing what McCain did, his duty. While searching through a miriad of tunnles Gary found a booby trapped shaft and lost most of one arm and much of the other hand. And kind sir/madam, he does quite well on any keyboard with three mangeled fingers on his right hand and a wooden & latex rubber shafted left. Now allow me to point out also that Gary's time both in Vietnam and rehabilitaions, and multiple operations, not to mention the years upon years of suffering, has held that family man and keyboard operator in a similar type of prison SINCE 1969. Thank you for your shortsighted reply to noted remarks that McCain himself has made, that as  a result I cannot show regret. And, to his credit made no bones about that simple fact. I'll have Gary write soon about what HE thinks of McCain's experiences. I know you won't like them but he doesn't stand alone. Most of the surviving members of his entire company have serious issues with McCain. Yes they do keep in touch about mainly his congressional record. Which is by the way one of the MANY REAL issues this election.

And sir/madam, I'll never forget those young boys departing words as volunteers to this nations finest; the fear and pride we felt while my brother and his late wife and I cried at each of their departing. "Don't worry mom... dad.... aunt Rosy, I'll be back, who knows one of us might be president some day." Avid hunters and self taught marksman, both. They were primed and didn't look back once. You climbed upon a family tree sir/madam that has seen service in nearly every war this nation has been needed in or blindly fallen into. With a long list of safe, painful, and fatal service that Sen. McCain does clearly emulate.(I'll offer credit to you if perhaps you are a vet. or others you love too) Aside of those many months as a POW and what that means to him and his family, the obvious means, or should mean much more to you and the rest of us watching this nation fall apart. Watching that  ever closer creeping drepessive future, looming around the next corner, as we haggle like school children at recess over who in God's name can type.

God bless.

Hey.

This use of explatives and pointless attack upon one another doesn't clean the slate nor make you sound any more intelligent or correct than those you claime are "blankity blanks and so forth. Senator McCain is a very intelligent and valued memeber of our senate and armed forces with a service record, that regardless of his computer skills, is outstanding. NOONE is trying to take that away from him. NO ONE. By his own admission, he established his lack of computer skills and made no bones about it. He has relied upon his military captivity so many times throughout his governmental service(proudly so) without the slightest bit of reservation, it wouldn't have been a streatch by the smallest of imaginations, to expect Sen. McCain to state that his fingers don't work that way. Poppycock. To coin a phrase. It is now something I wish I'd left out. But it's not the point wether he can or can't or wants to use one or not. He isn't so debilitaed and has said so. C'mon boys and girls. It really isn't an issue, though im my own family there are serious debilitating facts that have not begun to keep at least one of my militarily wounded nephews from writng or typing just as you or myself.

End it. McCain can't or won't use a compter. He said it first, or it NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN written here.

Wow! It appears the the conservative base got out of answering that question.

I was not trying to insult McCain. He himself will tell you is not computer literate. It is not, I repeat "not", a disability that stops him from using a computer.

Peace
