John McCain Speaks
With the Voice of Experience

Arizona Senator John McCain approaches this Presidential Election, during a time of armed conflict, with the wisdom of experience. Not only does Senator McCain have experience as a military officer during armed conflict, a Navy LCDR flying A-4's over Vietnam, he was also a "guest" at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" as an American POW for just under six years. He understands the sacrifices necessary to preserve freedom and democracy.

As a former POW, the Senator understands better than most people, including the other candidates, the price of war that is paid by our service members and their families.

And more importantly to the future of this country, he understands the price America will pay if we walk away from the global war on terror.

For those who cry, "Let the folks in Congress send their own sons and daughters to Iraq," voters should understand this:

Not only does John McCain understand what it means to be involved in war as a member of the U.S. military, he also shares and understands the concerns of those thousands of American parents with sons and daughters in the military during this time of war. Among the 2008 Presidential candidates, this makes him uniquely qualified to lead this country at this particular moment in its history.

John McCain has often been a controversial figure, much criticized for being outspoken, and for taking unpopular positions.

But you know where he stands. And he stands firm in his beliefs. That's a welcome change from the "wafflers" whose current position is determined by the latest opinion poll.

Senator Joe Lieberman urges non-partisanship and explains why this election is so critical, and why we must vote as Americans, not Republicans, Democrats, or Independents.

Of the major Presidential candidates, only John McCain has military experience. Will that be important in this election?
