It appears that many Democrats don’t hold in high regards military service. I’ve felt that way since Clinton was the President, and I’ve seen many statements and actions that enforce those feelings. Oh sure, the Democrats pay lip service with statements like “I support the troops, but not the war.”

Today we have more proof from the Democrats. Former President Jimmy Carter said that John McCain is:

“milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy – McCain can speak about his time in the military any time he wishes. Five and half years as a POW earns him that right.

We know Carter served in the Navy. So did McCain. Both are United States Naval Academy graduates. That is a big reason why his statement is so distasteful. It’s a classic cheap shot for an Obama to send his surrogate out to go after someone’s patriotism and their military service. Very cheap.

It would really help if Barack Obama and Joe Biden would come out and condemn Carter’s remarks. I know, I know, it will be a cold day in hell before that happens because they probably feel the same way. It’s probably an Obama-Biden campaign talking point.
