Songbird McCain,
Absolutely
The
Worst!
Ever since the EO , Lindsey had been working hard to get an Iranian National back to her job in South Carolina. So much energy and effort, and she's not even an American Citizen. And the papers are all celebrating her return like she's some kind if conquering hero and damsel in distress. Nauseating.
But it all points to some corruption and collusion.
McLame and Linda (not sure of Kelly) should get together with Manchin to reconstitute the Democrat Party. Demand of UpChuckie the majority leadership of Democrats and 48 Bolshies.
What I now enjoy on any John McCain thread of the last year or so, is that the few obligatory “I respect his service to our country” comments are completely ABSENT.
FUJM.
‘I always thought he was mentally ill.’
That makes two of us.
“Nota war hero”
I feel we should respect Senator MCCain’s military service to this country as we do with any of our Veteran’s.
Not to disregard the torture that McCain endured, I feel any Veteran that honorably served, who either returned home or lost his life, is a hero.
I think Trump saying MCCain was “not a war hero” was the worse thing he has ever said.
Sorry to disappoint.
Here's a reply from Topix.com I can't verify personnally but I knew a retired chief who always said McCain was responsible for the fire on the Forrestal.
McCain crashed 5 jets, plus was responsible for the Forrestal fire. Something made the plane behind McCain fire a rocket, which hit McCain's external center fuel tank, and caused a fire. McCain panicked, and dropped two bombs into the fire.
Surviving crewmen of the USS Forestal and those who investigated the Forrestal fire case reported that McCain deliberately 'wet-started' his A-4E Skyhawk to shake up the guy in the F-4 Phantom behind his plane. 'Wet-starts', done either deliberately (the starter motor switch allowed kerosene to pool in the engine and give a wet start) or accidentally, shoot a large flame from the tail of the aircraft.'Wet starting' was a common practice among young 'hot-dog' pilots.
In McCain's case, the 'wet-start''cooked off' and launched the M34 Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that punctured the Skyhawk's fueltank, knocked the M-65 1000 lb bomb off it's 500 lb rated mount, and touched off the explosions and massive fire.
When the carrier Oriskany came along side, and McCain was put in a chopper and whisked away. McCain was the only Forrestal crewman to be immediately transferred .I have a hunch McCain left for his own safety, because the crew wanted blood.
Now thats the straight talk express .
huh?
He is still mad about Trump calling him a loser for getting captured..
It was not right for Potus to say..but he has a point..mccain..may as well be a dem.
You’re free to have your own opinion.
Sen. McCain Should Not Be Talking About The Success Or Failure
But, but, he knows so much about failure doesn’t he?
A lot of us tried, but it wasn’t enough. He got great help from the left in the primaries, and as our state is “red” by many measures, he is entrenched with the help of the left. It is understandable that the left would campaign for him as they are who he represents.
He wants to keep defense jobs in Arizona, so he is hawkish. I guess that endears him to the DOD contractors that otherwise vote conservative. They will put up with his RINOism to keep their jobs. His Senate seat is really the best place to leverage for the military industrial complex to prosper in AZ.
We also have a lot of Mexicans and Indigenous folks that tend to vote blue, and he fits their narrative.
You can see by the red county vs blue county maps how the border area (Mexicans) and the northeast quadrant (Navajo and Hopi reservations) are blue. Well that’s just for The President. The Phoenix city is Latino, Tucson is DOD contractors, and they will vote for McCain. Here in Flagstaff in blue Coconino country the city is extreme left. Even the Republicans are centrists at best.
I don’t know what we’re going to do about Jeff Flake. He’s not been great help either.
We can’t seem to get conservative representation into the US Senate. I saw the same problem in California when Gray Davis was recalled as the Republicans voted for Awnuld.
Very frustrating.
It is if he got himself shot down by disobeying orders.
Quisling?.......No paid off, like Graham.
OMG! I hadn't even thought of that. You're right. That is a bit TOO much to take... roflmao
“I feel we should respect Senator MCCain’s military service to this country as we do with any of our Veteran’s.”
After all, he did far more for our country than McLame ever did and it was just “mistakes were made”! Therefore, he was entitled to sell out to the Crown.
Hey, McCain is a North Vietnamese Ace! He crashed or was shot down in five aircraft.
He is an embarrassment to Arizona and the US Navy.
Mac is likely exposing classified data just to get even with Trump on his “Military Failure” remarks.
McCain: Bend over and kiss your pedo-a$$ goodbye.
