Thanks to Ralph Raico, who sends along this comment from Steve Sailer: "Will McCain, who finished 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy and who lost five jets, return competence to the White House? To paraphrase Oscar Wilde (and, no, Oscar was never a fighter pilot), to lose one plane over Vietnam may be regarded as a heroic tragedy; to lose five planes here and there looks like carelessness.""

McCain finished 894 out of 899 and his dad was a naval officer? He couldn't get Jonny into a least the top 700? Wrecked five planes ... wait until you see what he does to the country with his new co-pilot Juan Hernadez - "Adios, muchachos!"

Those in power wanted Hillary!
Obama has been a set back.
They have given it to Obama by being too clever!
I don't trust Obama much myself.
But he is pretty smart passing exams I know I couldn't.
He doesn't come from privilege.
He may be a player!
He may want to be that man that turned America around.
We just don't know.
He is no RP who we can see what we get.
RP said Obama would win.
So I wish I knew what RP is thinking.
I don't care as we must win this revolution.
Maybe Obama will help us?.

894 out of 899 is alot better than 1 out of however many in a majority of schools out there, so let us not bring the usna into this.
(Yes you guessed it, I went there) Still a HUGE paul fan and can not stand mccain. (Got to eat with ross perot one day at lunch when i was a midshipman though) He is alumni as well... FYI number 899 out of 899 was the anchorman and gets a buck from every one.

Duke School of Medicine

Submitted by fonta on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 15:36.

....I do not know your point or that of Paul4Paul; however, the implication is clear and that turkey won't fly. On the net are several headings (including one to a negative article about RP on Huffington) which say "what do you call a guy who finished last from the worst medical school." Dirty propaganda folks...and exceedingly stupid to boot. What kind of small minds and evil intentions would question Dr. Paul on academics!

Dr. Paul did not just graduate from any medical School, he graduated from DUKE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. You don't get more prestigious than that. I don't know what his grades were, but I would imagine very good and he did that while supporting a family with several jobs and studying his new passion, economics. We are NOT talking run of the mill here and there is no candidate who can hold a candle to the man who also graduated with honors from high school and was a member of the National Honor Society. Obviously he did exceptionally well in college because unless your daddy's rich and well-connected (his wasn't) you don't get into "that" medical school unless you are head and shoulders above the pack. All of this is WHY there is a huge and growing number of Academics for Ron Paul. Honorable academics. No other candidate comes close. A kook? I do not think so.

Seek this lame slander out and take it out folks. I would take Saul4Paul any day rather than 12345678 or Paul4Paul type headings any day. How dare you attack in this way this brilliant man in this lame, offensive manner. I don't care how long you have been on this site, you disgust me.

He lost four planes before he ever set foot in Vietnam.

Submitted by cactus1010 on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 15:11.

Then after being in Vietnam for only 30 days... he was shot down and spent the rest of the war as a POW.

If he were never taken prisoner he would have faded into obscurity, because he never would have distinguished himself as a Navy pilot.

Since he is beginning to tout his Navy career, I would really like to see his Navy records released, I'd be willing to bet there is a lot in there that McCain would not want exposed.

As far as his placing 894 out 899 at the Naval Academy... why would Americans want to elect someone dumber than Bush. Isn't that what we want to change by not electing more of the same?

McCain's Flight record

Submitted by SemperFi on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 15:05.

I immensely dislike McCain and his platform, but to fair, three of the five aircraft he lost where not his fault--One was a flame-out, another was on the deck of the USS Forrestal, that had suffered a horrific fire from a missile mishap that caused over 160 deaths, and of course, theplane he was shot down in over Vietnam. Still, his flight record as a pilot left a whole lot to be desired.

That said, he did have a spoiled brat attitude as the son of a high ranking admiral. With all the partying and carousing he was did as a cadet, only his father's influence that kept him from being thrown out of the academy.

I'll give you the one on the deck of the USS Forrestal. But the flame out was highly questionable.

I've also read that he was a very reckless pilot.

I tend to agree with your assessment on the flame-out crash

Submitted by SemperFi on Fri, 02/01/2008 - 15:22.

..but since I don't have all the facts, I decided to give the him the benefit of the doubt. But yeah, as you said, he was reckless, and demonstrated laziness in mastering flying.

A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Please take the time today to tell at least one friend about Dr. Paul, his message, why you support him, and why our country needs him now more than ever. This is a grassroots campaign. We are the grass and we are the roots. The other candidates may have more money, but Dr. Paul has something that no amount of money can buy: He has us. He has our trust, our belief, our support and our love. Let us not let Dr. Paul, nor our country down.
