As I am now fond of posting:
McCain’s “accomplishments”:
Hard to imagine a guy more pro U. S. Military than John McCain, advocating Obama arm and fund at least three major terrorist groups.
Muslim Brotherhood
al Qaeda (on the good al Qaeda of course)
ISIS, obtained arms and funds in North Eastern Syria under the plan to arm and finance al Qaeda there.
The man was a menace. He fought like hell for Vietnam’s MFN designation trashing the representatives of MIA Families mercilessly, and overriding veterans groups to favor his former captors.
As for Lebanan, our military allowing a truck to roll up to the front door of the baracks there, is hardly a vindication of John McCain, but it would be just like him to claim it was.
As for the Keating Five incident, the investigation into it prompted McCain to come forward and admit he got favors from Keating, and didn’t report them for over seven years, as require by law.
He also got over $100,000.00 due to Keating’s efforts, by far the largest monetary gifts of any of the Keating Five.
Keating was in serious trouble and McCain knew it. Did he cover forward and push for an investigation? No. He didn’t help prevent one either as far as we know, but that’s hardly a claim to purity, when more families were sucked into Keating’s spider web and lost their fortunes, while John kept his hands folded in his lap.
This white wash of the man is disgusting.
He made 17 or 18 propaganda broadcasts for North Vietnam.
Look, some of this stuff I’d be willing to overlook, but with them all but declaring him a saint, it’s time folks saw him for what he was.
He was a despicable human being, from childhood to death.
