    That's one way to look at it. Another way is that he gave a thumbs up to 65 million people.

    Of course the correct way to look at it is that he did what he thought was in the best interests of the country. You might disagree with him, but he voted the way he thought was right.

    None of that changes that Trump is a whiny snowflake bitch who expects to be thanked for staying away from somewhere that he wasn't welcome.

    Murdering, war mongering, big liberal government loving? Nah. Regardless, Trump's obnoxious conduct sucks.

    So far, I see nothing that would warrant A stupid Trump tirade. Was McCain right? Maybe that was his opinion, yes? And I also think that Trump is incompetent, would want to fire up the crazies, and succeeded.

    Healthcare reform? What reform? Where is the replacement plan? You know, 'better, cheaper healthcare.' Repeal the old without a replacement ready to go? McCain was right. Obviously, McCain didn't like Trump. Obama Care just needed fixing, but Trump is a jealous kind of guy and wants to destroy all things Obama, even at the expense of our country.

    In your view, McCain should blindly follow das leader. I want someone who can see the forest for the trees and who has some common sense. It isn't Trump.

    As I wrote before, your opinion is biased, so it lacks veracity.

    You have no response that makes sense, except the usual. And you still have not
    explained McCain violating the 11th amendment.

    I'm not here to make sense for you. That's your problem.

    I have shown what McCain did. Documented it and provided links.

    You've done nothing but offer opinions.

    I'm seeing a real waste of time here, so I'll move on.

    Have a nice day.

    lol... my whole thought on the matter is that the Media should quit asking if they don't want the answer. They just want the "outrage".

    Sorry, I don't agree. While I respect all those who serve their country faithfully, his performance in those particular circumstances was way above and beyond the call. Some are born to follow others are born to lead, I guess.

    If that were true then the trajectory of the economy would reflect that. But no, it doesn't. You've been lied to and you believe that lie, good on you. Obama did an awesome job. No partisan thinker can change that.

    Yes, it does. Lowest recovery in the post war era. It definitely shows that Obama was terrible at economics and recovery.

    So you think a man who served his country and was even a POW should be criticized for said service by a man who was too much of a coward to serve.

    Here’s my first post and the follow up. I’m merely stating that John McCain has got and continues to get more special recognition than all the others, not that he isn’t a war hero.......

    “The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) of the U.S. Department of Defense lists 687 U.S. POWs as having returned alive from the Vietnam War. North Vietnam acknowledged that 55 American servicemen and 7 civilians died in captivity.”

    I’ll bet you can’t name any of those men. Why is that? Are they not just as much heroes as McCain?

    McCain, in the end, was just a terrible politician.

    Of course he has overshawdowed them. Most of those POWs went about living ordinary lives (or as normal as they could achieve) when they returned . OTOH, McCain story as a national figure was only getting started when he returned. He became a powerful national political leader.

    He earned his place in American history and his story became legend AFTER he achieved political success. It was his life achievements that made his story so well known to most.

    I could if I did what you did and went and looked them up. I never claimed he was a hero, my argument has always been how can a man who ran and hid criticize the service record of a man who served. Explain that for me.

    So, you just admitted it wasn't the "Worst recession in the history of the country" and you called me dishonest. Unreal. :roll:

    Not to make your position look even worse but you do get that the worse the recession, the better and faster the recovery should be, right?Obama was instrumental in degrading the recovery due to his stupid policies and regulations.
