Arizona Sen. John McCain insists his vote against a GOP plan to repeal ObamaCare is not payback for Donald Trump demeaning the former POWs heroism during the Vietnam War when the president remarked, I like people who werent captured.
If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that life is too short. Youve got to move on, McCain, a Navy pilot who spent more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison, told CBSs 60 Minutes in an interviewed that aired Sunday.
And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then Im not doing my job, the senator added. see also McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill
McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, said the president has never apologized to him for making the caustic comments in July 2015, a gesture that would help repair the ongoing feud between the two.
But McCain said they are different people, with a different upbringing and different life experiences.
He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others, McCain said in the interview that aired on Sunday. I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day.
I dont know what hes going to do tomorrow
or say tomorrow, he said of Trump. He changes his statements almost on a daily basis. So for me to spend my time trying to analyze what he says, I dont know.

Hey, Wet-Start McCain, we don’t want him to apologize. Did you ever stop to think why you lost and he won? Why don’t you just go and kill some more US sailors?
President Gerold Ford was a true hero during Halsey’s Typhoon during WW2.
He was trashed constantly by the press and politicians.
McCain was a spoiled Admiral’s son and should never have passed flight school.
McCain, take your family and retire from politics NOW.
America is tired of your drama.
Well John, if you hadn't disobeyed orders by flying too low, you wouldn't have been shot down, destroying yet another plane and getting yourself captured.
Oh yeah! You're a freaking "maverick".
(that's an ugly little car built by Ford)
...and there it is.
And that’s what his prima donnaing on Ocare is all about.
McCainhole
When is McToomah going to apologize for still being alive?
McCain arrogance at the level of O Drama’s!
Nor should he, you lying traitorous coward
Has John McCain apologized for his crude treatment of the families of POW/MIA? Somebody posted links of this from YouTube on FR years ago.
“And thats what this temper tantrum is about. “
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
I gotta say, I’m stunned. I always the Graham was the ‘catcher’.
Johnny didn’t need to make money; he married his fortune. Cindy was worth an estimated $100 million when they tied the knot. Of course, that was after McCain cheated his way through countless women after returning from the Hanoi Hilton.
I’ve heard that a few senior officers wanted McCain punished for his serial philandering, but he had enough top cover to dodge the bullet. Likewise, if you ever run into a vet of the Reagan White House, ask they how McCain was regarded by Ronaldus Magnus and his team. The president was personally offended by McCain’s behavior and he gave a job in the protocol office to Johnny’s ex-wife Carol, largely because he left her with nothing more than his Navy pension and modest savings. McCain had moved on to bigger (and richer) things.
If you can find a copy of the book P.O.W. I think you will find a much different picture of McCain than the usual. Also, you will find that, in what is a very long book, he gets almost no mention.
This! This! Is THE reason and reason alone that McPain voted no. He is a bitter old jack wagon! Country be damned!
what a fool is McCain. has anyone every trusted him?
is Mccain sure he wants to revisit what happen all those years ago. becouse I hear if you qusetion thos that were at the camp still alive he does not come out the hero he likes peaple to think he is.
Grow up. One question mark is suitable.
I wish he had flat-lined after he turned on Palin.
