I am absolutely dumbfounded. How the hell can he even remotely consider saying that? I don't like McCain, but I respect him for the things he has done, and I absolutely respect him for staying in Vietnam to suffer torture instead of using his dad to get him out.
And I cannot understand how Rick Santorum can say with a straight face that John McCain, the man who was a POW for five and a half years, the man who can't raise his arms over his shoulders because they were broken and dislocated so many times, the man who signed a propaganda confession because he couldn't stand the pain anymore, doesn't understand what torture does to a person.
