Dear Senator John McCain,
(Vanity) | 11 July 2018 | areukiddingme1

Posted on 07/11/2018 7:47:02 AM PDT by areukiddingme1

It is time for you to step down with dignity and grace and allow the Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to appoint your replacement.

You are 82 years old, you have spent 36 years in Washington DC and 23 years in the Navy (27 if you include the four years at the Naval Academy) -- You have earned to the right go out on your terms, certainly, but the party and your country needs your selfless commitment and devotion one last time.

We are all aware that the seat you are vacating was once filled by another giant of the Republican party, Senator Goldwater, and we are all aware, Senator Goldwater was instrumental in creating the U.S. Air Force Academy, how fitting would it be for a Naval Aviator to step down and allow the Arizona Governor to fill your seat with a female graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Congresswoman Martha McSally, that would be a legacy worthy of your name and Senator Goldwater name.

Let's do this, it's time, Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch.

The Watch

For sixty-three years This sailor has stood the watch While some of us were in our bunks at night This sailor stood the watch

While some of us were in school learning our trade This shipmate stood the watch

Yes.. even before some of us were born into this world This shipmate stood the watch

In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history This shipmate stood the watch

Many times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family standing there Needing his guidance and help Needing that hand to hold during those hard times But he still stood the watch

He stood the watch for twenty years He stood the watch so that we, our families and Our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety, Each and every night Knowing that a sailor stood the watch

Today we are here to say 'Shipmate... the watch stands relieved Relieved by those You have trained ,Guided, and Led Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch..."

"Boatswain..Standby to pipe the side...Shipmate's going Ashore.."

Does anyone know who Ducey is likely to pick to replace McCain?

Rumors, statements by the Governor. Whatever.

Comments are far too kind for John McCain who left men behind in Vietnam.

Even if he saw it printed in this summer’s Reef Points he wouldn’t budge. But beautifully written.

I think what keeps McCain holding on is a dream of being pushed in a wheelchair onto the Senate floor to cast one more vote, all to the thunderous applause of all the other Senators.

You may be right, maybe to cast the decisive vote. Too bad, a greater man would have ALREADY said his goodbyes and fulfilled his legacy.

McCain has no dignity or grace.

He wants his daughter to get his seat, but doesn’t want the Gov. to lose his Aug. primary.
So he’ll wait until after that.

Reef Points is a reference to something all USNA grads have familiarity with, not specific to McLame.

He will probably get a good chuckle out of this if he hasn’t already assumed room temperature.

Dear drooling globalist spewbucket,

Haven’t you done enough damage to America, you hateful, petty traitor? Why don’t you effing die, you miserable piece of shit? That way you can be reunited with your father, Satan, and the two of you can celebrate a lifetime of service to pure evil.

I can only hope your every waking moment is pure agony, until that moment when you die — and I hope THAT moment has you curled up in the fetal position under a table, naked, pale, and covered with cold sweat.... your mouth open in a twisted, silent scream, your eyes bugged out in terror, as you twitch in a puddle of your own sick.

To conclude: I feel sorry for your brave, courageous brain tumor, that it has to suffer by being infected with malignant John McCain.

Love,

Laz

Ducey and the McTraitors are running out the clock until the Az Primary. He knows if he appoints Cindy it could hurt him. So when Ducey wins the Primary he will appoint Cindy.
