John McCain Flip Flops On Sgt. Bergdahl Swap. Are You Surprised?
Crooks and Liars ^ | 06/04/2014 | John Amato

Senator John McCain, the most booked Sunday talk show guest of all time originally supported the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap in February, but now he's suddenly leading the charge against it.

Senator John McCain, the most booked Sunday talk show guest has a big problem when it comes to the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap that President Obama signed off on. Originally he was all for the trade of prisoners back in February, but if you listen to him now, it's like that never ever happened. Scarce properly called him out over it by saying: The craven politics of John McCain are nothing new. They aren't, but what's just as frustrating is that CNN had the chance to question him on his new position, but failed to do so. Will the media ever call him on it?

Yeah, I wasn’t even sure if I could post from C&L. But it went through.

Even though they are a liberal site; this article does prove something: NOBODY like McCain. Not liberals. Not conservatives.

You can explain it if you look at the file on Bergdahl that was given to Congresscritters. Pertinent information was left out. The administration was attempting to manipulate Congress by withholding things like the note Bergdahl wrote renouncing his citizenship. How many other instances are there of Obama manipulating intel reports for Congress?

McCain is a grand joke. I have done some research on this one. And he (along with some “conservative” pundits) were almost BEGGING the POTUS to do this 4 months ago.

Sick to death of all of em.

The documented drinking binges he and Hillary have had are freaking hilarious.

I wish I had a link or two. But they’re out there.

So Much,

Dearest trisham!!!


My first clue, was the "brief" and cut-off clip at the link.
McCain's comments were cut in mid-sentence.
I happened to see McCain interviewed by BOR last night.

Bergdahl is OBAMA'S doing, HIS ALONE!

LET & Make HIM OWN IT.

I can understand his position(s). As a former POW, he would want all POWs returned to the United States. However, as a former Naval officer, he would not support desertion (or treason).

John McCain on Bowe Bergdahl: 'It's done'

That's McCain-ese for "What difference - at this point - does it make."

McCain has a very weak simple mind and cannot think ahead. This old far! should have quit years ago. He is liberal.

He opened his STUPID mouth Before he knew that Bergdahl was a DESERTER and his Father was a MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER!!!

The fact that McCain, or any number of Republicans, wanted to see Bergdahl freed doesn’t change the fact that Obama unilaterally broke the law. Unless this writer, or anyone else can point out where McCain or anyone outside of the WH gave approval for the illegal deal Obama did, this kind of reporting is just grandstanding and diversion.

It is worrying that there was a lack of understanding from McCain and the other RINO’s about Bergdahl being a deserter. Another example of jumping on political bandwagons without knowing the full story, then looking like fools having to fake outrage later.

You forgot the last three lines:
McCain: "Huh? Whazzat? What'd he say?"
Aide: "Butterscotch pudding in the Senate lunchroom today, sir."
McCain: "Oh! Yummy!"

J. Edgar Effing Hoover learned, instituted and propitiated a valuable contol mechanism. Even though by most accounts, he was a queer, who lived a secret life, Hoover kept meticulous records of every foible, every bribe, every liaison outside of the paramters of acceptable American values.

He used them. No president, no senator, no representative, no state governor, no mayor, no industry captain, no one was immune from Hoover.

It is ironic that one of the the biggest vacuum manufacturers is also called Hoover.

People wonder why, after gaining election as a “populist”, a “reformer”, a “champion” of the people, becomes just like his or her’s counterparts, of either party, the new centurion you believed in would abandon every principle.

Well, J. Edgar is dead, but the collection continues, the folders are updated, and all is retained for one purpose. “Let’s just review this folder together, and see what we have to see about you”.

Lindsey Graham was the House Impeachment Manager for Bill Clinton. OK. What is he now?

J. Edgar Hoover was Satan’s Imp and he made sure that no one, not ever, would challenge his authority.

Do you you really think that post J. Edgar Hoover’s death that anything changed?

Satan is the accuser, he accuses us all before the throne of God every day.

We all are compromised in one way or another. I know I have secrets I would not wish to be made public, but even more so, if I was a “public” person appointed or elected.

So, if you wonder whatever happened to this great hope, this savior on the horizon, this fixer of all that is ill, broken, corrupt, well, now you know.

They are all compromised. None of them are able to stand against their own foibles and misdeeds.

Satan is the accuser. Always has been. Do not look to men for justice. It will not be there.

That was his grandfather who died shortly after V-J day. His father was CinCPac during the Vietnam war. It’s confusing since they are all John Sydney McCain’s.

Will the media ever call him on it?

Only if Republicans are stupid enough to nominate this colossal lying arrogant ego again as a Presidential candidate.

Was McCain released from Hanoi because of prisoner exchange?

I think McCain is probably legally incompetent at this point. He was not sharp on Greta last night. He seems confused.
