The chairmen of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees say they want answers from the Obama administration on its new transgenders-in-the-military policy.

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is questioning whether transgender troops will meet military readiness requirements.

And Sen. John McCain, his Senate counterpart, is promising hearings on the matter.

That’s his story and he’s sticking to it, until the primary is over.

“It’s very hard for me right now to make a judgment,”

Really? From a former serviceman. Why do these clowns even bother?

This has been in the works for about a year—and they’re just now starting to wake up?

Typical McCain—a month late and a few Billion $$ short.

McCain started ISIS, and their slavery, rape of thousands.
Then McCain pushed the IRS on conservatives with Levin.
Not satisfied with that he went to Libya, here with the soon-to-be-dead Ambassador.

But I thought we ‘have nothing to fear from an obama presidency’?

McCain is worse than useless.

Look at that soft belly on Mccain. Do some sit-ups boy!

Soft in the belly; soft in the head. Spiritually bankrupt.

McCain ALWAYS runs to the right before he has to defend his Senate seat. And he said, in 2010, that it would be his LAST RUN. What a LIAR.

These Illuminati-favored candidates that have been force fed to us for a few decades now sure are. Useless would be an improvement; these sellouts are dangerous.

I hate to say it, but maybe it's for the best that neither McCain nor Romney became President.

There was never any danger of Romney and McCain actually being elected.
They were chosen as Designated Losers.
They both knew it and acted accordingly.
