It is nothing short of incredible that a combat veteran who has claimed to be a conservative Senator has led the fight to reward with amnesty, the millions of Mexican and Central American nationals who have entered this nation illegally. While the betrayal of the American people on behalf of foreign invaders by Sen. John McCain may be puzzling to most, the former POW actually has somewhat of a history of betraying his fellow citizens in favor of a foreign enemy.
The question of McCain's true motives should be examined.
On October 26, 1967, U.S. Navy Lt. John McCain was shot down over North Vietnam by a Soviet-made surface-to-air missile. As a result of ejecting from his plane, McCain suffered two broken arms and a broken leg. He was immediately captured by an angry mob and turned over to NVA soldiers, who broke his shoulder with a rifle butt and stabbed his foot with a bayonet. He was then taken to the infamous 'Hanoi Hilton.'
Once in a cell, he was beaten and interrogated daily. Still being refused medical treatment and in severe pain, McCain agreed to talk in exchange for medical treatment. He was then taken to a nearby hospital. McCain described the events in his 1999 book Faith of My Fathers, in which he said: "Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate any medical treatment if I did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship's name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant."
The North Vietnamese Army discovered that Lt. McCain was the son of Adm. John McCain Jr., commander of the Pacific Fleet, and his grandfather was Adm. John McCain Sr. who commanded aircraft carriers under Adm. Bill Halsey in the Pacific during World War II. Because of his family's powerful military heritage, the NVA believed that Lt. McCain would one day hold a prominent position in the U.S. government. He then became the target of incredible torture and attempts at re-education, some sessions were reportedly conducted by Soviet officers.
McCain has said that he was regularly visited by senior communist Vietnamese officials. One visitor was famous NVA Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap.
Eventually, McCain signed a letter claiming to be a war criminal and apologizing for the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. He also did many radio and television interviews, some with foreign correspondents which is a severe violation of the military code of conduct.
Despite John McCain's years of painful torture at the hands of the NVA, he has been Hanoi's strongest advocate in the U.S. Senate. For years, he pushed for the normalization of relations with communist Vietnam, even though that country has never fully cooperated on the issue of American POW's.
In 1992, John McCain was serving on the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. Vietnamese officials began to complain that American POW/MIA activists (mostly family members of the missing men) were causing too many problems and posed a threat to lifting the U.S. trade embargo on Vietnam. Incredibly, Senator and former POW McCain then went on a campaign against the POW/MIA activists and accused them of fraud. McCain once said of the families: "The people who have done these things are not zealots in a good cause. They are criminals and some of the most craven, most cynical, and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam."
Sen. McCain demanded and received a U.S. Justice Department investigation of the two major POW/MIA activist groups. Of course, no fraud, as McCain alleged, was ever found. The families were left angry and mystified as to why McCain had betrayed them. McCain succeeded and the trade embargo against communist Vietnam was lifted, and there has never been a full accounting of North Vietnamese atrocities against American POW's.
In 1992, NVA Col. Bui Tin, who interrogated McCain in the Hanoi Hilton, testified before the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs. He told the Senators (including McCain) that Soviet officers regularly interrogated and tortured American POW's. During a break in the proceedings, Sen. McCain and Col. Tin enjoyed a hug and exchanged the kind of longing looks that a man would usually share with his long-lost father, or perhaps in McCain's case...His comrade?
Just as John McCain has collaborated with the Vietnamese enemy, he has collaborated with the leaders of the Mexican Reconquista movement for some time. Among other outrages, he has spoken at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza for the last several years.
As one of the keynote speakers at the 2004 conference, he told the zealous crowd: "It is in our national interest to bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great nation."
After the massive illegal alien protests in 2006, McCain made the following statement: "If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail."
Under Sen. McCain's immigration bill, even members of Mexican drug gangs would have received amnesty by simply signing a statement in which they renounce their gang affiliation. The so-called 'background checks' that illegal aliens would have been given were only of the 24-hour variety, which reveal very little, if anything and would then be given a six-month worker card. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would have traveled around the country handing-out amnesty applications to suspected illegal aliens, and all immigration enforcement would have ended.
McCain's plan would spell the end of United States sovereignty. So why would the son and grandson of fiercely proud American warriors, and he himself a combat veteran who suffered tremendous torture at the hands of the criminal North Vietnamese so readily come to the aid of that enemy and attack the families of the men with whom he served? Why would this same man so incredibly betray his own country by granting amnesty to those who sneak into this country´s back door, when so many are waiting to enter America through the front door?
The answers to the aforementioned questions lie deep with Sen. McCain's psyche, which should now be subject to examination. I am not suggesting that McCain set out to betray his country when he began his career at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1954, nor as he flew 23 missions over North Vietnam. However, it would appear that under extreme torture and indoctrination at the hands of his communist captors, he may have been turned...Turned against his own country and sent back to dismantle that country. It is a possibility that needs to be investigated.
When someone with the background of Sen. John McCain is ready to sell-out his fellow POW's and turn the United States into a Third World nation...No other explanation could truly suffice.

JUST IN MY OPINION McCAIN WAS A TRAITOR AUTOMATICALLY? FIRST HE GAVE VITAL INFORMATION FOR SELF PRESERVATION WITH ENEMY?THEN BROADCASTED AGAINST AMERICA FOR THE ENEMY?AND THEN TREATED AS A HERO BY U.S.A. FOR WORKING AGAINST AMERICA AND AMERICANS?? WHY HE GOT MORE MEDALS THEN 20 TO 30 YEAR FRONT LINE SERVEING MEN??CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG ITS BEEN SAID HE GOT A MEDAL FOR EVERY COMBAT TIME HOUR SERVED DID ALL OUR MILITARY GET THAT MANY??YES IN MY REAL AMERICAN OPINION JOHN McCAIN IS A TRAITOR.
We really don't need to know WHY Juan McAmnesty has become the "Mexichurian Candidate"...it is quite sufficient to simply know that's what he IS now. The bigger Q: Why do brain-dead Arizonan voters, most of whom claim to be "conservative" in the Goldwater tradition, keep sending this Bozo back to the Potomac Fever Swamp?
WOW!! Dave Gibson hits a grand slam to win the World Series on this one!! No one has better described McCain than Gibson. There is a small group of Vietnam vets who tried to warn the U.S. public about McCain during the 2008 Presidential campaign but were dismissed as "kooks" or completely disregarded. They are Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain and one of their moving videos can be seen by typing in this group's name in a Google search. Many ex-military folks including some higher ups are interviewed in their videos. The videos are very troubling and force us to consider the possibility that John McCain is a traitor.
I agree with VivaLaMigra in that we really don’t need to know why he turned traitor, the fact that he has is enough fuel for the fire. Problem is that voters feel a ‘patriotic sympathy’ for Juan because he was a prisoner of war; they feel obligated to vote for him. And Juan is smart enough to hold his POW past over their patriotic heads.
If the people of Arizona send McJerk back to Washington - they get what they deserve. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that McJerk is the "King RINO" of the GOP. Hope whoever runs against him exposes him for what he really is. Further, his association with Juan Hernandez should be enough to not vote for him. And now, Palin supporting him on AMNESTY. What a clown show.
Mr. McCain had experiences the live and death in his life. He has been to hell and returned to become a Saint. If you like to experience something like that then get a gun and shoot randomly at people and until you got away with it, you will definitely become Mr. McCain number two. He is not a traitor to the American people, but he simply became a peace politician person.
Let's rid this country of all traitor politicians. Start with John McCain and Luis Gutierrez and all the rest who represent foreign governments and anti-American organizations such as La Raza. If you wonder why Americans sell out their country...follow the money!
This guy's whole family has been big-time Insiders. Take a look at how jonny-boy lit his own plane on fire in one incident, and his pop covered up USSLIBERTY. But, the BankingElite really like the McTraitors. And, yes, our military is Their WarMachine.
North Vietnamese tortured American? The American POWs got more food than the Vietnamese got their daily. The US POWs got their letter send to the US via Express and none of the Vietnamese was allowed to send any post at all to anywhere. The Vietnamese simply defended us and Mr. Mc Cain got shot down by defending ourselves. The North Vietnamese army did not even have to the US check point in the South. Even ants got to defend themselves by biting back to their attacker. It is human and animal natures to response to self-defense. The Vietnamese did not even have enough food to support its own population at the time and so why did we have to invade the US? Sorry, we were invaded, but the other way round! What about the US policies on Vietnam such as Body bags Counting? The Orange Agent sprayed on Vietnamese people. The bombs you used on the ordinary Vietnamese. What about 3 million Vietnamese death?
Come guy get the fact right! Mr. McCain can see all these!
Mr Tran- The MoneyPower wanted to charge the US taxpayers for a war, and They picked vietnam. Please don't spout off about Americans this and that.
Perhaps Juan McCain should hire Mr. Tran as an outreach coordinator. For McAmesty and Teddy to advocate giving US citizenship to illegal alien gang members (domestic terrorists), by definition, should be branded as traitorous behavoir. Am I missing something? JD needs to bring up these issues, so McAmnesty can explain himself.
Dave Levine: I read those early post, and saw some UTube videos. At first, I found it hard to believe, but then again as I look around at the state of things in this country, everything's hard to believe. I believe you're correct and you educated one more person to the skinny.
Its true..it does not matter how he became a traitor the fact is..he's a traitor. But I'm not sure the communist are to blame, I'm almost positive it was the capitalist. No ever seems to bring up the Keating scandal of the 80s, this guy will take the money.
When I saw this gimp standing up there with his arms around probably two of the biggest traitors America has ever seen Ted Kennedy and that slime bag Lindsey Graham I knew they had gotten to him. I hope the people of Arizona and South Carolina have better sense nest time.
I was in AZ when this little lap-dog was Installed into "office". Most Arizonans were like "Who the heck is this guy, and whats he doin here?" But his family had plenty of corrupt fed res fiat dollars behind him.
I want John McCant out ASAP that is a given. We in Arizona have made almost imposable for an Independent to run for office. A partisan candidate for the House needs less then 500 signatures to get on the ballot in the primary an Independent needs over 2000 that is just plain wrong! The drum beaters at the AZR will plow the road for this wipe he also has a war chest of at least 5 million. John is not a traitor he is bought and paid for like 90% of every incumbent politician!
I agree. John, Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for fifty dollars and hour", McCain needs help. But so do American taxpayers, and his pain is our pain. He needs to be removed from office and gently retire into the night.
Ol,Juan McShamnesty, so true, so true. Yet so very many Americans aren't aware of this background, and if they are aware of if, I can only ask, WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH THEM?
Bobby- I, like so many others, have been trying to help people awaken, or even get interested. Unfortunately, the years of indoctrination, and admitting they were fooled, is too much for most people.
Vietnammese Communist government is one the worst violators of human rights un the world right now (just behind Red China ...)JOHN McCAIN IS A TRAITOR who helped to "normalized" relationship with VC in Hanoi - Shame on him. Wake Up Americans !!!! (maybe it's already to late, Red China will soon attacked America militarily)
