Vanity: McCain has few public viewers when compared to Ronald Reagan.

[JPII Be Not Afraid]

Fox just said there were 15,000 people who stood in line in high heat to pass by his casket.

I loved Aretha Frankilin...she was truly gift from our Lord...but, I did not agree with her politics...which is fine. She was 1000% loyal to Obama her whole life and that SOB Obama, does not have the decency and loyalty to pay respect and homage to one of the greatest singers and performers will ever know!!! SAD!!!

[50mm]

It’s my fault. I called in tip to all local SJW groups that ICE would be conducting a raid at the McStain viewing. :)

[JLAGRAYFOX]

1,000, 1500, 7,500 15,000...take your pick. I believe the official state police estimate, 1,500 viewers. But, any of the numbers listed, are nothing to brag about. Now...if the number was 100,000-200,000 out of 7,000,000 Arizona citizens that indeed would be a great turnout!!! 15,000, Shucks, Trump gets that at every rally he holds!!!

[mountn man]

Obama is only loyal to one person...

OBAMA!!!

[newfreep]

Where’s the Death Certificate?

[newfreep]

Even Aretha gets no RESPICT from hussein44...

[JLAGRAYFOX]

How True!!! Actually Obama & McCain are and were one in the same...only loyal to themselves. Loyalty and Honor and Dignity and Truth were not in their playbooks!!!

It would be a ratings record if he hadn’t excluded Trump and Palin

In the Washington DC funeral procession, I was so proud of my Son-in-Law, who was in the Old Guard at the time. He was in the funeral procession, escorting the caisson as it made its way to the sounds of muffled drums. My daughter was also stationed at Ft. Myer and her company was standing with the other soldiers as the funeral processed down Constitution Avenue on its way to Capitol Hill. I captured her on TV saluting as the caisson passed by.

At the Burial service and interment at the Reagan Library, I cried my eyes out watching Nancy collapsing on her husband's casket, crying and rubbing the cover in her farewell to him.

There was a Cal Ripken signing in southern Calvert County yesterday. There was a longer line at that than shown in the pic in this link.

And even old Fritz didn’t get this type of send-off.

Don’t care...

I am really personally tired of the McCain bashing.

Yes, I didn’t agree with his politics, or many of his actions in the past few years of his life... but the obsession by some here to attempt to completely dehumanize the man in death is disgusting and despicable.

If I could ignore any thread with McCain’s name in it for the next few weeks/months from coming up I would.

I see a whole lot of ugly going on...

Not everyone wants to drive in a spit on the coffin. We have better things to do.

[dfwgator]

I think it’s more a reaction to the media’s lionization of McCain, by the very same people who were calling him “Hitler” back in 2008 when he was running against Obama.

1500 will get their checks shortly.

[Palio di Siena]

Donald Trump made McCain the man he is today.

For the first time since my father died (1993), my daughters caught me shedding tears just watching the Reagan coverage on TV. There is no way I could have been seen in public in that venue even though we are less than a five hour drive from DC (under normal traffic).

Senator John ‘Pus Gremlin’ McCain was only loved by the leftist press because he was the go-to guy for attacks against his fellow Republicans.

Now we have Mitt ‘Mittens’ Romney trying to fill McCain's odious role as Wormtongue (Tolkien's archetypal sycophant, flatterer, liar, and manipulator).

Here are some hilarious nicknames that Mittens Romney has been branded with:

Mitt Malarkey
Bishop Romney (Mittens was actually was a bishop in the Mormon church, with his own diocese, called a “Stake”)
Rook Romney
Mr. Roboto
The Stiff (Donald Trump)
The Romneybot
Rigger Mortis (pun on rigging companies with debt)
Romnuts
