McCain Won't Apologize: 'Term of Endearment' To Call Trump Supporters 'Crazies'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

If calling constituents "crazies" is a term of endearment, what would be an insult?

On today's Morning Joe, John McCain refused to apologize to the thousands of Arizonans attending a Trump rally that McCain called "crazies." According to McCain, "crazies" is a "term of endearment" and a "term of affection."

McCain...you are a self serving liar and a coward. So you want us to believe that you were giving Trump fans a big verbal hug by calling them “crazies.” You sir are a COWARD and a LIAR!

THROW THE BUM OUT. McCain says his demeaning of Americans who came out in droves to support Trump...insulting them, calling them "crazies' was "meant as a term of affection.”

Yeah sure......like we believe this frickin over-the-hill GOPeer.

McCain embodies the insularity and arrogance of the GOPe.....

McC's stupidity is at mach speed if he believes Americans have not been watching as he and official DC- GOPe thumb their noses at us.

The contempt he shows for Americans will not go unrewarded.

You be the judge, "crazies" a term of endearment?

"“It’s very bad. This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me. Because what he did was he fired up the crazies.”

I yanked that quote from here

Long-term CONgre$$creep McCainiac has a lot to apologize for near and far. YOU DID help build this…

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…(Rules)

http://www.constitution.org/cmt/freneau/republic2monarchy.htm

Debates in the House of Representatives on the First Report on Public Credit 9–18 February 1790
James Jackson (Ga.)

But it is doubted with me whether a permanent funded debt is beneficial or not to any country.

The same effect must be produced that has taken place in other nations; it must either bring on a national bankruptcy or annihilate her existence as an independent empire. Hence I contend, sir, that a funding system, in this country, will be highly dangerous to the welfare of the republic; it may, for a moment, raise our credit and increase the circulation, by multiplying a new species of currency; but it must, in times afterward, settle upon our posterity a burthen which they can neither bear nor relieve themselves from. It will establish a precedent in America that may, and in all probability will, be pursued by the sovereign authority until it brings upon us that ruin which it has never failed to bring, or is inevitably bringing, upon all the nations of the earth who have had the temerity to make the experiment.
