So, Arizona Senator John McCain finally passed on.
As the left's favorite "Republican" Senator, the headlines and opinions in the left-wing News Misleadia are predictable and cloying. A small sampling is listed below:
The content of the articles are even more obsequious than the headlines. I expected as much. McCain was the left's favorite Senator -- a fake Republican, globalist, and diehard #NeverTrumper who could be counted on to obstruct any of the agenda the right or nationists would embrace.
My mother always told me I should never speak ill of the dead. However, I routinely ignore my mother's advice.
There are factors about his behavior and life that have long been extremely disagreeable, and others that put him in stark opposition to the political party to which he swore allegiance. There are three subjects I will explore: His temper, his grudges, and his policy.
HIS UNCONTROLLED TEMPER
Even before his brain tumor -- when erratic behavior could be better explained -- John McCain was a mercurial and explosive person who reacted to various situations with uncontrolled rage and inappropriate behavior. In 1992, in front of three reporters, McCain called his wife a "c***". Another incident of volatile, unstable behavior was when . There are so many examples, that colleagues in the Senate were quite concerned about his stability.
He was, however, very aware of his unpredictable and anger-fueled behavior, admitted he had a temper problem, though he did so in a manner that absolved him of personal responsibility.However, it's said that a picture says a thousand words. Here is one, taken during a debate, in which his inner rage is briefly visible.
HIS LASTING GRUDGES
McCain, a petty man who held lifelong grudges, he never forgot slights politicians gave him. Chuck Hagel refused to endorse McCain in 2008, and opposed him during votes surrounding the Iraq war, saw McCain withhold the single vote that would have made Hagel the Defense Secretary.
Of course, his blood feud against President Trump continued to his dying day. He remarked that he hoped that Trump succumbed to the Washington establishment and laughably suggested that Trump was responsible for the Syrians using chemical weapons. He admits he was the primary source of the infamous and specious "Russian Peeing Prostitute" dossier that started the baseless, year-long Special Prosecutor investigation that goes on to this day. Yet, he was proud of his shameful behavior, defiantly telling critics of his actions to 'go to hell'
His vendettas were only punctuated by his disloyalty. His former vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, had backed his reelection effort. For her steadfastness, McCain returned a gut-punch, stating that he regretted choosing Palin as his running-mate.
HIS GLOBALIST AND LEFTWING POLICIES
John McCain was described, often, as a maverick who bucked his Republican party principles. However, a case could be made that he actually was not a maverick, but was consistently on the side of the opposition party. That makes him less of a maverick and more of a betrayer. It was his one vote, cast proudly and with a sense of defiance, that preserved Obamacare. He was a diehard globalist who consistently pushed his Gang-of-Eight amnesty proposals. And, as a stalwart NeoConservative, there were very few military entanglements he did not gladly support.
John McCain's opposition to Conservative Republican ideology was troubling, but his temper and his willingness to provoke and attack our international enemies were terrifying. It is for this that I often remark that we dodged a bullet in 2008. While Barack Obama was a destructive and tragic President, at least, unlike McCain, he did not leave the world a smoking, radioactive ruin.
I could speak ill of Ted Bundy or Saddam, Uday and Qsay Hussein at their deaths but to speak ill of McCain at his just doesn’t seem right.
He has three other children? /S
McCain adopted his first wife’s two children. They then procreated a daughter named Sidney in September 1966

“I’m glad that you wrote this and exposed him for who he was.”

Me too. It is -necessary- to continue to speak the truth about this malefactor, as the big lie is repeated about him, making him out to be anything but the deadly and covetous sociopath that he was. Or is.
Got to go. This hobbit needs second breakfast right now.
One has to wonder, I always have as to how many others beyond the 133 that died sustained life long injuries, and disfigurements from the disaster John McCain created aboard the USS Forrestal.
All I have to say is that the US Senate is a greatly improved place today.
“McCain is in Heaven”

Quite an assumption about a man who aided and abetted genocidal jihadists.
Concise, well-written original article. Thank you.
And a short but detailed response - also needed to expose his absolute failures covered up by today’s mass national socialist party’s press corpse.
“I could speak ill of Ted Bundy or Saddam, Uday and Qsay Hussein at their deaths but to speak ill of McCain at his just doesn’t seem right.”

All of those you mention - combined - killed fewer innocents and patriots than Songbird McCain.
Now is the time, as the lie that he had worth is being told.
Indisputably.
McCain is a racist /S
Everyone in the media was calling him that in 2008
Let’s go down memory and the article are numerous enough, I’ll only give a Google search results link

Now, let’s look at the year 2000

“My condolences to his family. I’m not glad he’s dead. I’m glad he’s no longer in the Senate.”
Well said!
Always eating his own. Incompetent and elitist.
I’d hit that...
There are people who argue McCain was not specifically responsible for the Forestall fire - and the flight evidence supports some of their claims. However, he DID credibly “wet start” (blow live flames across the deck) other times before that specific fire as an attention-getter to shock his fellow fliers on the deck. Because of his history and his reputation for these fires, John McCain WAS immediately transferred off the Forestall within hours of the fire by his dad’s orders to avoid the crew, even before many of the injured crew.
His flight “crashes” are only partially correct:
- The first three of his crashes were prop-driven planes destroyed in training accidents, incidents, and ejections.
- Despite these crashes and incidents (flying at low level into wires for example), he was transferred into Vietnam-era-jets (thrown out of the slower, less visible, less stressful propeller planes) again from his father’s friend’s influence back at the Pentagon).
- John McCain’s fourth and fifth “victories” for his ace pilot award were both jets: One burned up on the Forestall fire, and the final one shot down when McCain was flying too low after returning to a strike in North Vietnam. It is not clear why he returned to the bombed area after releasing his bombs.
Battle damage assessment?
To paraphrase Sarah Palin, he was something else.
With today’s technology, you can keep a body on the tubes (breathing, draining, kidney filtered, IV’ed) for many months.
Tellingly, AFTER the deadline for a same year election but only days before the re-election of his liberal friends in Arizona, he/his family/his staff “pulled the plug”. And McCain died within hours. There have been no photo’s, no interviews, no live reports of his body since January. He has almost certainly been a shell since then - useful only to hurt Trump, to help the democrat-socialists.
Not resigning, to deliberately spite Trump and Trump’s agenda by threatening every Senate vote with a perilous 51 vote republican majority, is yet another part of John McCain’s “legacy” that I cannot forgive him.
most likely the gov will put in the mrs as a safe rino choice.
