Is John McCain the Manchurian Candidate?
There is much written on this topic. It has also been written about John Kerry as being the Manchurian Candidate. It is unlikely that Barack Obama is the sleeper, as no foreign state would think that the chances of a black man gaining a position of President or VP in the US would be likely. A foreign state would go for those with the greatest probability of making high office, and those are wealthy or pedigreed white men, preferably war heros (they could ensure that part by keeping them imprisoned and creating the setting for such heroism). Given that McCain was in Hanoi for over 5 years, it is more likely that he could have been brainwashed than someone who doesn’t have a 5 year gap in their history. Also, keep in mind that McCain made a televised anti-American propaganda “confession” due to the torture and brainwashing. What else they may have done to him is unknown. http://www.broowaha.com/article.php?id=3563 is one such essay. We will never know, unless he is elected.
