John McCain, war hero and maverick Republican, dead at age 81

....and neither is being a community organizer who never served in the US military.

If it was up to me, all candidates for national office would have to be veterans with honorable discharges.

 

John McCain's lasting legacy: Articles about John McCain

Right now the inert corpse of Senator McCain is being used like an ice pick wielded by an insane serial killer to stab at President Trump.

 

It appears I did? Please explain the part where I said only John McCain wanted the US to constantly be engaged
in costly and protracted wars around the globe.

I don't see that anywhere and you know what we call people that make up things that just are not so.

Your much promoted concern and love of military veterans doesn't seem to extend to the ones killed and blown apart in the wars that John McCain cheered on, and the ones where he thankfully didn't get his way, such as in Syria.
Spare our service people your special kind of concern. They can't stand
fans like you and McCain.

 

I'll concede to your expertise on insane serial killers.

 

Since you obviously didn't bother to read, as I predicted you wouldn't, it's clear that the campaign was run by Karl Rove in conjuction with the RNC and Ralph Reed.

 

We're just marvalling at the somersaults that you are engaging in (without a shred of fact or evidence, as usual) to either deny or defend one of the most dirty tricks in recent American politics.

 

Thats was the liberal smear

but I saw no real evidence that Rove paid for it out of Bush campaign funds or personally directed it

18 years was a long time ago to mount an informed rebuttal

 

You have not offered any evidence either
Do you make wild accusations just to see what our reaction will be?

 

This entire thread has been nothing but overblown whine fest over flags that are currently at half mast.

 

And I'll concede to your expertise at ducking and dodging.

 

BS, you have no evidence to support your denial. And John McCain was never in any doubt regarding who was behind it, either. And he told the little weasel Rove to his face.

But since you claim knowledge of the matter which enables you to continue to deny well known history, perhaps you can tell us who ran the anti McCain push polling in South Carolina in 2000.

You won't, of course, because you're making it up.

But it is worth noting that this sort of race baiting attack will always be denied by TRump types even as they embrace the tactic.

 

Someone needs to go back to their safe space and rest up for the next Trump self-induced debacle. It's going to be a long 2 years for ya so save yur energy.



The fact remains Trump shot himself in his foot....again. If he wasn't such a petty child, this whole thing would never have happened. All he had to do was follow tradition and shut the **** up.

 

No need for me to duck and dodge since I'm not trying to defend a man-child as President. If you have an intelligent question instead of juvenile false accusations, I'll be happy to discuss them with you, but if all you have is posts like below, then I fail to see the purpose:

 

First he followed protocol - You're not happy.
Then he followed tradition at the request of veterans - You're not happy.
Trump released a statement - You're not Happy.



Someone eat your crayons this morning Marine? Lighten up, already.

 

Hard to break a two-year pattern. Trump hate has become so redundant, its not even relevant anymore.

 

Spin it all you like but either you are uneducated as to tradition or you are intentionally making a false statement. I'm guessing the latter since we've covered the Flag Code and tradition extensively on two threads.

BTW, November is just around the corner!

 

I think most people can see I did. I even highlighted it.

Are you okay, YBF? You seem off today...a lot more than usual.

​

 

Maybe you think you can get away with blatantly denying the truth because people won't take the time to follow your tangled string of lies and denials.
Fortunately I already traced back the string and it began with my post #482 then yours at #509 and mine at #548 then you at #550, me at #554, you # 564, me #565, you #566 (reiterating a lie first told in #509) and me #570, after which you denied it all again in #571.

Everyone is encouraged to look and see. I have nothing to hide.

Remember, read my establishing post #482 and then what is claimed in post
#509 by you. It's all just untruths and denials from there out for you.

 

If mccain had died in 2016 instead of 2018 the nation would be better off

 

Why do you defend Trump when he does it.

 

I'm content to let PF members decide for themselves which of us is an honest, loyal American sworn to support and defend the Constitution and which is a psychotic, lying nutjob...or something in between. Have a nice day, sir....and don't forget to vote!

Sad you enjoy dancing on the bodies of the dead. Not the first time either.

 

Have you gotten into a pissing contest with yet ANOTHER conservative?

Fortunstely the lefties still like you

 

McCain was not an ideologue.. He was pragmatic and a true patriot.. and he was big enough to reach across the aisle for bi-partisan solutions. Whether you agreed with all his politics or not, he was a fine man and a gentleman.

Meanwhile, Trump is pumping up the Evangelicals telling them there will be violence if the GOP doesn't win the mid-terms.

 

Not really dancing

Just commenting that his timing could have been better
