Nothing personal here chuckles, I don’t know you that well so this isn’t directed at you personally.

I served under McCain in a training squadron, and served in the actual squadron he had been in while he was on the USS Forrestal, and am well conversant in the facts.

Please. Don’t start talking about his “Hot Starts” unless you can explain in detail what a hot start is, and how it could have contributed in any way given the geometry of the plane spotting at the time.

I spent the better part of four years working on a flight deck of a carrier, and I’m telling you, talking about how McCain started the fire is nonsense and makes us all look like we don’t know what we are talking about.

When knowledgable people see that, they discount EVERYTHING we say.

We should stick to the things that are factual, because the Left and their allies won’t be able to discount us on the basis of what we say, and will be forced to have to contest the facts or resort to liberal tactics, in both ways, they lose.

McStain was probably a very good pilot in the US Navy.

There are no excuses for his behavior after he left the US Navy!!!

We do not care what he did as a pilot all we have to do is look at his record as a Senator. He is a total disgrace period and end of story.

McStain hated President Trump and McStain is the one that got us that America Hating Piece of Work Obama and his America Hating Wife Moochelle Obama. McStain ran the lousiest presidential campaign ever in our book!!!

McStain is the one who gave the Fake Dossier to the "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists"!!! The "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists ran with the Fake Dossier without checking the facts as did McStain.

Yes, he was a POW at the Hanoi Hilton in Vietnam and something that I would not wish on anybody.

McCain himself has put a stain on his Name!!!

I will agree to forget his military record and concentrate on his betrayal of America in the Senate, but there are PLENTY of testimony about the Forestall incident that is NOT flattering to McCain. Anyone can serve in the military and even get an honorable discharge that probably needed to go to prison. I served with some. But they didn't go on to politics and use their military service and their dad as a springboard. What people do usually in a POW camp is try their best to survive.

Do you not think he felt the world owed him reverence because he was a POW? Every questionable thing that came up always ended up with his time in Hanoi. That's fine but it shouldn't buy you a spot in the Senate until you die in office. For me, it's no different that Robert Byrd being the "Dean" of the Senate" and forget his past even as he said the "N" word up until the bitter end.

McCain's treatment of Bush was horrendous and he played to the press as the "Maverick". Then when it was "his turn", the press hated him enough to give us Obama. Then he blamed Palin? What a worm! There are countless harmful votes where he sided with the Dems, but the last one with the thumbs down on Obamacare just to piss of Trump was pitiful. That was NOT HONORABLE! Forget all the good will he gets on the Hanoi Hilton! EFF HIM! Obamacare cost me my "Cadillac" insurance. I worked 30 years for less money to keep my insurance for LIFE! I had free insurance and it remained free when Medicare comes. I got free part B and D by my company. Now my insurance after retirement is $840 a month for worse coverage. When I retired I wasn't planning on paying a house payment size insurance payment that hasn't stopped increasing. Yeah, I'm pissed at Obama, but why couldn't we overturn it after giving Trump a Republican Senate? Turncoat RINO's like McCain, Flake, and a couple of others are not any better that traitors to me. If McCain had lived longer, I see him being the deciding vote on taking up AR 15's, or giving Amnesty to illegals, oh wait, he's already done that.

So no, I'm not happy with McCain even if he single highhandedly gave blow jobs to everyone in Hanoi.
