This was such a good idea. To bad CBS is not as brave as these guys.

These are beautiful. They remind us that these soldiers are ordinary people, giving their lives for our country (whether or not you believe in the war).

John McCain missed 10 of the past 14 votes on Iraq?

John McCain in September 2007: voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments?

John McCain in May 2006, voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care facilities?

John McCain in April 2006, was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans?

John McCain in March 2006, voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in FY 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes?

John McCain in March 2004, once again voted for abusive tax loopholes over veterans when he voted against creating a reserve fund to allow for an increase in Veterans' medical care by $1.8 billion by eliminating abusive tax loopholes. Jeez, McCain really loves those tax loopholes for corporations, since he voted for them over our veterans' needs?

John McCain in October 2003, voted to table an amendment by Senator Dodd that called for an additional $322,000,000 for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for reconstruction in Iraq by $322,000,000?

John McCain in April 2003, urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, and tactical vests?

Another death threat to the First Amendment Rights of WE THE PEOPLE,
can't offend the RNC who are on a mission to obliterate all constitutional rights
except those that fit into their own narrow world.

Yeah, we definitely can't have anyone thinking. Imagine the rampant discourse that would result.

Since when in the last 8 yrs have we had freedom to do anything and not get arrested. Welcome to the World of Hitler lite (Bush). I have seen with my own eyes if you have an opinion you are told to shut up. It happened to me at work.

Breathtaking. And very evocative. You , at first, might think they are dead, but then you look at the eyes and you see they are very alive, but what they are seeing is profoundly elusive.T

CBS is pure crap on this issue. They must have had sufficient time to do their research and to view the pictures and make a determination as to the intent of the advertising. This is pure nonsense. If I was the artist and Option I would take CBS to court for violating their contract. There is no excuse for CBS and someone from the screwball Republican Party got to CBS. Consider the fact that CBS altered the interview with McCain to protect him–what can one expect.
