What will you ask US Senator John McCain?
EuroNews ^ | November 19, 2014

Posted on 11/19/2014 5:47:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Vietnam veteran John McCain began his career in the US army and survived five brutal years as a prisoner of war, years after his release he moved into the world of politics. Currently serving as senior United States Senator from Arizona, McCain is known for his maverick style and straight-talking attitude. In 2008 he was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate alongside his contentious running mate Sarah Palin, losing out to President Barack Obama.

Today McCain is reputed for his long-standing criticism of the Obama administration, in particular his foreign affairs and defence policies. McCain has lashed out at Obama on US policy in Syria advocating boots on the ground to battle President Bashar Al Assad and ISIL. He has also heavily criticised Obama’s role in Ukraine, arguing that the West should provide the country with weaponry to fight Russian separatists.

As the next guest on The Global Conversation, Senator McCain will meet euronews’ Isabelle Kumar to answer some of your questions. From the political situation in Ukraine, the fight against ISIL, to the US midterms and 2016 presidential elections – what would you ask the man who is next in line to head the Senate’s powerful Armed Services Committee? Send us your questions and we will select some to ask during the interview. You can do this either via the Facebook post below or send it on Twitter with #AskMcCain.

Q: When were you in the Army? I thought you were a Naval Aviator? And will you endorse former Governor Sarah Palin when she runs for your Senate seat in 2016?

Q: Did you kill off the F-22 because you hate America, or because you love its enemies?

Then they'll put his head in a jar like in Futurama and let him serve more terms.

Mr. McCain, is it true that you crashed at least five Air Force warplanes while serving as an Officer? Were they really all due to mechanical error as you reported? Have you ever been examined for a concussion or chronic brain damage as a result of those crashes? If so, by whom, and what were their conclusions? Thank you for your service, please stay at home and raise some Arizona Guppies. It’s time, Sir.

When did you abandon all sense of MORALITY, DECENCY, and The American Way of Life? Was it a specific incident or All the Bribe Money?

Like many in Congress, his goal is to go direct from the Capitol building to the mortuary.

Julia Carson, from here in Indiana, basically pulled it off, for most of her final year they rolled her comatose body in for important votes.

So many questions.

How many US planes did you destroy during your military career?

Have you thanked the North Vietnamese for the special treatment that you received?

Have you ever had a real job? Or have you always fed at the taxpayer trough?

I would ask him to please pack his duffle bag and get out of DC, then out of politics. He has done enough, needs to go to pasture.
