McCain Didn’t Realize He Was Posing With Rebel Kidnapper, Spokesman Says
Buzzfeed ^ | 5/29

Posted on 05/29/2013 9:21:53 PM PDT by Arthurio

WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain’s office is pushing back against reports that while visiting Syria this week he posed in a photo with rebels who kidnapped 11 Lebanese Shi’ite pilgrims.

The photo, released by McCain’s office, shows McCain with a group of rebels. Among them are two men identified in the Lebanese press as Mohamed Nour and Abu Ibrahim, two of the kidnappers of the group from Lebanon.

Can you imagine what it must feel like to be Sarah Palin right now? McCain’s handlers gave her such grief, because they were so freeping ‘professional’. And look what those handlers decided was a good thing for McCainiack to do.

I wonder who is gonna primary McCain. Probably no one, because he’ll be stepping down. The right thing for him to do would be to appoint Palin as his successor and resign. But that won’t happen.

I noticed how they were all smiling in another photo....It sickens me how stupid our “leaders” are.

Ya, and since they've turned the U.S. into a giant flop house, with tens of millions of illegals and Muslims etc, pouring in, even our electoral process has been undermined and compromised..

Once again, all caused directly by corrupt government...

Our politicians are morons who have no value, ethics, or talent other than convincing people to vote for them.

The big picture...

These so-called leaders for the past 30+ years aided and abetted tens of millions of illegals, Muslims and others from 3rd world countries to enter our country at will, in fact rolled out the red carpet for them, offered them prizes, incentives, gifts, free health care schooling etc......Our electoral process has been totally undermined and compromised..

We've been gang banged by those running government...

Yes, it has. I have seen it happening first hand. Not only did I see Somalis (at least a few in the US less than 6 months) in line to vote for Gore but the next day one of them even told me he voted for Gore as if nothing was wrong with what he did.

I complained in an email to my Senator (Olympia Snowe) and she replied in an email telling me that it could not be so and cited me the law where they cannot vote.

That was 1999 and in the small State of Maine. Imagine what the illegal Mexicans are doing to our electoral process right now.

Thanks Arizona— instead of JD Hayworth we get the doddering old senior citizen RINO. He should be enjoying his retirement already. Enough with these ancient, government loving geezers whose minds have bolted to seeds. Must be a helluva fine plush country club circuit there in the Senate.

So next time some fool says we got the government we deserve for, tell um they don’t have a clue what they’re taking about given the fact Americans have protested, petitioned, voted, screamed for and begged for relief from this epic open borders immigration free for all for 25+ years now.

Our elections and electoral process have been intentionally compromised and undermined by lawless violent open borders, and extremely dangerous immigration policies...

I’ve said since the commie gooks turned him loose that they did a good job washing his brains. How many fingers do you need to count all the things he’s said in the past four decades that actually make sense on close examination? He still thinks he’s president and might be if he’d turned Palin loose. Remember the commies spent more years schooling him than the Naval Academy did.

So they honored our distinguished senator’s presence with backward baseball caps, t-shirts, and Arafat scarves.

Nice work, McCain. Consider yourself played.

Not only to exist, but to grow.

Unfortunately, like the dark side of capitalism and socialism, they cannot simply exist but must consume that which threatens them.

There is supreme confusion among both the dims and the rips over Syria.

You see, the leadership has not been a very good one for America. They took Saddam Hussein’s WMDs and have hid them this long. They are to Iran what North Korea is to China, a little tag-along that is easily controlled. The leadership is less western-friendly than Egypt was.

So, on the one side, many dims and rips don’t like the leadership and want it overthrown. The fact that the neo-Soviet Union supports the leadership confirms their decision to oust the leadership.

However, Obammie the Islamofascist-loving Commie knows that the “rebels” are actually Al Qaeda-backed, that they are far more radical than the leadership of Syria, Egypt, or Libia. Obama supports the rebels because Syria will be the third country that he has given to the Islamofascists. Notice how they are all situated around Israel. This is all about destroying Israel and allowing the Islamofascists to completely control the oil flow from the Middle East.

Benghazi was a gun-running program to the “rebels.” This is outright, literal treason as it proves that Obama was arming the enemies of America. He allowed four Americans to die because they knew too much. If they lived, they could see Obama tried for treason.

This could easily become a proxy war of America against the neo-Soviets.

Idiots like McCain cannot see clearly enough. The answer is simple: we get the hell out of all involvement with Syria. If we have to help anyone over there, it should be to support the citizens of Iran in their overthrow of the Iranian tyranny.

The left does have a decent argument about hyper-military support being part of the Military-Industrial Complex.

What that means is that the military (beyond what we need to defend ourselves and our interests) is a huge cash-cow that returns the favors to RINOs who continue to pump funds their way, not unlike ACORN.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge supporter of the US military. But there is a lot of unnecessary ‘military’ spending done just to buy votes and appear patriotic.
