Dear Senator John McCain,
(Vanity) | 11 July 2018 | areukiddingme1

Posted on 07/11/2018 7:47:02 AM PDT by areukiddingme1

It is time for you to step down with dignity and grace and allow the Arizona Governor Doug Ducey to appoint your replacement.

You are 82 years old, you have spent 36 years in Washington DC and 23 years in the Navy (27 if you include the four years at the Naval Academy) -- You have earned to the right go out on your terms, certainly, but the party and your country needs your selfless commitment and devotion one last time.

We are all aware that the seat you are vacating was once filled by another giant of the Republican party, Senator Goldwater, and we are all aware, Senator Goldwater was instrumental in creating the U.S. Air Force Academy, how fitting would it be for a Naval Aviator to step down and allow the Arizona Governor to fill your seat with a female graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Congresswoman Martha McSally, that would be a legacy worthy of your name and Senator Goldwater name.

Let's do this, it's time, Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch.

The Watch

For sixty-three years This sailor has stood the watch While some of us were in our bunks at night This sailor stood the watch

While some of us were in school learning our trade This shipmate stood the watch

Yes.. even before some of us were born into this world This shipmate stood the watch

In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history This shipmate stood the watch

Many times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family standing there Needing his guidance and help Needing that hand to hold during those hard times But he still stood the watch

He stood the watch for twenty years He stood the watch so that we, our families and Our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety, Each and every night Knowing that a sailor stood the watch

Today we are here to say 'Shipmate... the watch stands relieved Relieved by those You have trained ,Guided, and Led Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch..."

"Boatswain..Standby to pipe the side...Shipmate's going Ashore.."

McCain said yesterday he'd resign if he couldn't get to DC to vote for Kavanaugh.

Let's give him a break when he does the right thing.

“McCain said yesterday he’d resign if he couldn’t get to DC to vote for Kavanaugh.”

That’s actually good news — I had not heard that.

Thanks!

McCain refuses to resign until Cindy is appointed.

**************

How do you appoint someone to an occupied position?

Dear Senator John McCain,

It is time for you to step down with dignity and grace ...

Something he has never had in 82 years. Why start now and ruin a consistent record?

I think what keeps McCain holding on is a dream of being pushed in a wheelchair onto the Senate floor to cast one more vote, all to the thunderous applause of all the other Senators.
Yes. He wants to be the deciding vote against Brett Kavanaugh for US Supreme Court.
John McCain wants to relive the excitement of just one more thumbs down spectacle. How glorious is his imagination?

After the Gov. gets past his Aug. primary, McCain will resign and Meghan will be appointed.

get to DC to vote for Kavanaugh.

*****************

Senator McCain will come strolling into the Senate as the roll
call is being taken. His name will be called and he’ll respond
with an “aye”.

I was hoping he was going to find a way to scramble to Washington for the confirmation vote for Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court.

Dear Johnny,
You lived a lie for a life. You endangered men in Vietnam. You were a crook with the Keaton’s 5! You betrayed you constituents, your party and your country. You ran as a Republican and voted as a Democrap. You sir are the lowest of pond scum. You are facing an eternity in Hell. So it’s time to repent. If you were a real man, you would apologize to the people of AZ for your lies, but your not at that level, and the idiots of AZ deserve the morons they vote for. Ask the lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness before it’s too late. I guarantee, you will be as remembers as your buddy Ted Kennedy; unloved and not missed. Ask for forgiveness before it’s too late!
