McCain lauds Obama as a 'patriot' (*BARF*)

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — one of President Obama's most strident critics — praised the president's speech in Arizona at a memorial service for the victims of the Tucson shooting spree. 

The Arizona senator and Obama's 2008 opponent penned an op-ed in the Washington Post, saying Obama "comforted and inspired the country" by calling for greater civility in the nation's political discourse.

"I disagree with many of the president's policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country's cause," McCain wrote. "I reject accusations that his policies and beliefs make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals. And I reject accusations that Americans who vigorously oppose his policies are less intelligent, compassionate or just than those who support them."

You fought tyranny in Vietnam

Is this even true? Afterwards, he betrayed POWS and cozied up to the communists. But people in AZ never knew.

Hold on, Jan Brewer is a McCainiac too! Don’t be surprised at a future betrayal from her.

And to think, people held their noses and voted for this man.

US lauds mclame as senile, tortured-too-much loser.

Grovel, you wuss. It becomes you.

Sarah was the only thing that made swallowing that mouthful of excrement almost tolerable.

McCain still thinks the communist is a patriot?!?

Still??????

Not as crazy as the idiots here in Nevada who reelected Harry Reid.:(

so who is the Toady holding the umbrella?

Exactly. But no one believed me when I said Palin's one time appearance to endorse McCain was nothing more than courtesy. She never revisited the state. She never made any additional endorsements.

These two genuinely do NOT like each other. And I firmly believe it started in during a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, MI. She was clearly the star, the one everyone came to see. She wanted to continue campaigning in Michigan when McCain pulled out.

We all know Sarah was picked to rally the base/grassroots. We all know McCain wanted Lieberman. We've all witnessed the tepid remarks from McCain about Sarah.

And now, we see a no reply. I'm willing to bet McCain is the anonymous Republican that slammed her last week.

Regardless, this 'relationship' is over, and has been since March of 2010.

McCain was reprogrammed at the Hanoi Hilton. Why else would he be such a big defender of a commie trying to single-handedly destroy this nation?

bttt

[investigateworld]

But the problem still there: She supports Amnesty with a "path to citizenship".....hence in a few years, the left will gain another 20 million votes, all voting for abortions loving/supporting Leftist....the records do not lie.

It's time to say, "Nice try Sarah, but you see ....."

SIGH...
