NO MERCY: McCain’s 1st Wife Speaks Out; McCain Dumped Her After Crippling Car Wreck
True Pundit ^ | 05/07/2018 | Admin.

Posted on 05/07/2018 8:15:39 PM PDT by Az Joe

Let’s harken back to 2008 to cover some important background intelligence about Sen. John McCain who has been lashing out at President Trump and others from his apparent deathbed.

McCain likes to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to his five years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. And to demonstrate his commitment to family values, the 71-year-old former US Navy pilot pays warm tribute to his beautiful blonde wife, Cindy, with whom he has four children.

But there is another Mrs McCain who casts a ghostly shadow over the Senator’s presidential campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely written about, despite being mother to McCain’s three eldest children.

“Don’t forget the arrogant prick was implicated in starting the fire that raged on the USS Forestal.”

No, he was not implicated. Only accused on the Internet by morons who didn’t actually read the reports on the accident.

McInsane was not in the plane that had an electrical glitch that fired to rocket.

I voted for McCain, in spite of the fact that I don’t care one whit about him. I have never and will never vote for a “D”, and sadly, there is no viable third option.

For me it’s about maintaining a Rep majority in DC. The alternative, something that I’ve had to live with for too dang long, is repugnant.

...and thanks for posting. I love it when admin censorship is trumped (no pun intended) by members who take issue with incorrect responses. That is the way it ought to be. That said, it isn’t my forum and I recognize the necessity of some control over what is or isn’t allowed.

Is this declassified National Archive recording innuendo?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNuNiU-Ip3c

“On the recording, a copy of which The Arizona Republic obtained from the National Archives and Records Administration, McCain says he is guilty of “crimes against the Vietnamese country and people” and compliments his medical treatment.

“The doctors were very good and they knew a great deal about the practice of medicine,” McCain says on the tape. “I remained in the hospital for some time and regained much of my health and strength. Since I arrived in the camp of detention, I have received humane and lenient treatment. I received this kind treatment and food even though I came here as an aggressor and the people who I injured have much difficulty in their living standards. I wish to express my deep gratitude for my kind treatment and I will never forget this kindness extended to me.”

For starters. There are numerous published reports from fellow vets who despite McCain. He also purportedly blocked the Senate from opening probes into America POWs left behind in Nam following the war,some of whom wound up in China and other APAC nations.

Dig around. The story is there if you want to find it.

McCain treated harshly and without mercy the families of POW/MIAs - it’s on YouTube.

You point out a little-known but salient fact:

McCain blocked any inquiry into the fate of American POWs in Nam and Laos after the war ended. There were eyewitness accounts of Americans being used as slave labor after the war.

McCain knew there were Americans left, and he screwed over their families big time. He should thus die a horrible death, and I will drink a shitty beer in his honor in the hopes of defiling his grave with it later that day.

Is that just a demonstration of the power of incumbency? Because Keating 5 should have destroyed that pecker.

Yes, it takes hindsight doesn’t it? We probably didn’t know what a disaster he was then, but we do now.

> Great find.

Thanks. I knew of some of McCain’s treason from a fellow worker who was a POW for 5+ years and in the Hanoi Hilton when McCain was there as well.

The guy had great stories. Through ‘tapping’ (how they communicated) he was the ‘keeper of names’ - a listing of all POWs that were at the Hanoi Hilton at one time or another. When he returned, he had a list of 16 men who he considered having turned - McCain was one of them.

He also had both shoulders dislocated several times from being hung up by the wrists behind the back - a ‘favorite’ torture by the VC. He also had both wrists fused after he returned. But he still worked as a dock worker until retirement.

John McCain treated the country like he treated his first wife.

“50 years to see how good Palin was?”

I’m talking historians in general ... right now, a majority of the liberal talking head historians would still trash her for no reason other than she’s “Sarah Palin” and many conservatives would put her ridiculously high on a pedestal and overlook a few of her mistakes (mistakes any of us would make). Plus, with schools being so far to the left that it makes anyone sane want to puke, they tend to trash her when her name is mentioned.

50 years from now, when emotions aren’t as high and people can look at her objectively, I think she’ll get her due and history will speak very fondly of her.

When it comes to my personal opinion, I thank God she made it into the public eye ... she played a big role in waking people up despite being on a ticket with that rat fink McCain. I wish she would have turned McCain down in retrospect since she could have given Obama one hell of a run for his money in 2012, but history will unfold as it should I suppose :-).

“my problems with McCain started in the early 1990s when I saw him speak once.”

OK, I understand your points much better now :-) ... I thought you were referring to 2008 only :-).

You’re a better person than I ... I didn’t think he was “that bad” until he ran for President. I also thought some folks on FR were ‘overreacting’ to him. I learned my lesson well around that time :-). My final straw with him was the way he indirectly trashed Palin after the election of ScumKing the Almighty.

Forgot about Palin, but I do remember he was running against a FLAMING SOCIALIST in 2008, and said something to effect “...he would make a fine president”. Apparently his Senate ‘brotherhood’ with Obama was more important to him than the future of the country. But, wow, I’m just mad as hell at his ex for not speaking out against him, until it didn’t matter. I would have been much happier if she had simply kept quiet (and I would have also).
