I am convinced that McC is in the mid stages of dementia. He denies proven facts. He reminds me of two other AZ Senators, Hayden and Goldwater. Both of them overstayed their brains also. I suspect the female family members have turned him, just as the new Mrs. Goldwater destroyed a good conservative in Barry.
Unlike Barry Goldwater, Juan McCain has NEVER been a good conservative.
Remember that he took special favors from failing S&Ls right before the 1980s housing crisis exploded.
Remember that he betrayed U.S. POWs and MIAs by shutting down efforts to look for them during the early 1990s Vietnam economic "normalization" debate on Capitol Hill.
Remember that he helped arm the Kosovo Liberation Army, thereby declaring war on Serbian Christians in Kosovo, during the late 1990s under the Clinton administration. He also was crucial to getting the U.S. to militarily intervene on behalf of the KLA, a major player in the European drug trade an an affiliate of al-Qaeda.
Shall I continue?
