McCain’s Funeral Guest List Doesn’t Define Him
National Review ^ | May 8, 2018 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 05/08/2018 7:34:02 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Charlie Kirk, responding to a report that Senator John McCain, battling brain cancer, does not want President Trump to attend his funeral: “He wants Obama there. That tells you everything you need to know about McCain.”

Really? You think everything you need to know about a man’s 81 years on this earth can be nullified or reaffirmed by your approval of his guest list at his funeral? Twenty-three years of military service, 23 bombing missions, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, a Distinguished Flying Cross, five and a half years as a prisoner of war, solitary confinement for two years, two to three beatings a week, repatriation refused, two terms in the U.S. House, six terms in the Senate, nearly 800 pieces of legislation introduced, thousands of votes, six books, hundreds of speeches, two presidential campaigns, two spouses, seven children . . . and you think “everything you need to know about McCain” is whether he shares your view of the president?

What defines McCain is a weak brain. Before and after cancer.

Let him die as the hateful, bitter, egotistical America-hater that he is. THAT is his legacy.

“He wants Obama there. That tells you everything you need to know about McCain.”

Yup.

If there’s one thing that could define the Vietnam War it was the ticket punching mentality that saw Colonels given Silver Stars for merely being in country for 6 months. USAF maintenance officers stationed in Thailand got Bronze Stars fer crissakes.

McCain hasn’t chosen anything besides vanilla vs strawberry for the last several months. The Deep State will decide how he lives and when he dies.

That McCain is a fanboi of Obama was never more in evidence than during their second debate, in which he gave his most fervent endorsement: “America has nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.”

Yes it does. It shows McCain as a petty and vindictive.

“It’s not who I am underneath, but I what I do, that defines me.”

What he does is treason. That’s who he is. That defines him.

Lousy.

Lousy student, lousy pilot, lousy husband, lousy Senator, lousy failed Presidential candidate. The only thing he’s done well is get captured.

It’s everything I need to know about McCain. I’m sure Judas Iscariot was a nice guy who was liked by his friends, and yet we judge him for one mistake.

And ratting out US positions.

His conduct, particularly these past few years, shows his true ugly colors

As NuShooz once sang. I Can’t Wait

McCain defines McCain, and defending McCain defines the author. And not in a good way.

I’m with Charlie. That Obama request defines McCain to my satisfaction. He’s a Democrat and he has been for a long, long, long time.

In fact, I do think that the obvious fraud perpetrated upon his constituents when he went full-Marxist nullifies anything he did in his younger days. It tells me that the person who did all the good stuff no longer exists, and was replaced by a lying, scheming globalist POS.

Oh, BS ... McCain has had a lifetime of petulance, vindictiveness, nastiness, jealousy, hate and undeserved enrichment. In many ways he has harmed his country.

Self centered a$$. The only reason I would go to this egotistical losers funeral is to poke his body with a stick to make sure he really is dead.
