John McCain brainwashed by North Viets or idiot?, McCain did not question Obama in 2008, John McCain states Obama will stay on AZ ballot, Not McCain’s job

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”…Thomas Paine

“Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism.”…George Washington

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”…Abraham Lincoln

Was John McCain brainwashed by the North Vietnamese during his capture?

Or

Is John McCain an idiot?

Do you have another reason for McCain not questioning Obama’s eligibility in 2008 after John McCain was challenged on his?

Do you have another reason why John McCain would insist that Obama stay on the Arizona ballot even if not eligible?

Furthermore, this is not McCain’s job or duty.

Actually, John McCain has sworn on multiple occasions an oath to defend the US Constitution.

“VIDEO: McCain Says President Obama Will Remain On Arizona Ballot Despite Birther Threats
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said late Friday that President Obama will remain on Arizona’s ballot despite conspiracy theory-fueled threats from the state’s top election official.

“The president of the United States is not going to be taken off the ballot,” McCain told Phoenix television station KPNX.

Having faced Obama in the 2008 presidential race, McCain was responding to comments made earlier in the week by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who threatened to keep the president off the November ballot unless he receives more proof Obama was born in the United States. Bennett said the Hawaii birth certificate Obama released last year was not proof enough.

McCain’s comments come at about 2:20 into this video:”
