Like Kerry, the media defends McCain With His 'War Record'
Hastert Blasts McCain
"Throughout our history, wartime has been a time of sacrifice. ... What have we sacrificed?" McCain said.
Asked Wednesday about McCain's remarks, Hastert, first joked: "Who? Where's he from? A Republican?"
Then, more seriously, he said: "If you want to see sacrifice, John McCain ought to visit our young men and women at Walter Reed and Bethesda [two Washington area military hospitals].
There's the sacrifice in this country. We're trying to make sure that they have the ability to fight this war.
And at the same time, we have to react to keep this country strong not only militarily but economically... That's my reply to John McCain."
After over 25 years, Kerry and McCain, are still using their "War Records" as an excuse to criticize Bush and our Government.
Like Kerry, the media defends McCain, another vietnam "Hero", and puts down Hastert, "who was rejected for military service because of a bad shoulder."
Hastert Lectures McCain on War, Sacrifice
"House Speaker Dennis Hastert lecturing former POW and Arizona Sen. John McCain about sacrifice and war."
"McCain, who spent five years in a North Vietnamese prison, excoriated fellow Republicans."
"Speaker Dennis Hastert lecturing former POW and Arizona Sen. John McCain about sacrifice and war. McCain, who spent five years in a North Vietnamese prison."
"Hastert, who was rejected for military service because of a bad shoulder."
In the end Hastert, who said nothing about Vitnam, had to apologize to the "War Hero".
Hastert spokesman John Feehery said the speaker "values Sen. McCain's military service, but he disagrees with him on tax relief."
