The WORST “republican” in the history of the GOP.

(I’ve detested him since the Keating 5)

“John taught us how to lose,” his friend and colleague Sen. Lindsey Graham said on the Senate floor Tuesday

Taught us how to loose? What kind of serious crap is that? I like my war heros to be winners. Only funeral worth watching is Aretha’s......gen Clinton and Jackson showed up.

“”he was “last in his class”””

Almost - didn’t miss it by much - by 3, I think.

I’ve wondered what the parents of men who served with McCain thought of a newly minted officer thrust into command of their sons (or daughters) who was such a poor scholar and rule breaker. Last night the History Channel had a special about him and he was shown laughing as he told about all the rules he broke while he was attending Annapolis. He seemed to enjoy the retelling of each one. I think there was a screw loose from the beginning of his career not just the middle or the end!

If you think this is over the top, you should have tuned in to see some of the Aretha Franklin funeral service. Front and center - Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Farrakhan, Bill Clinton - a real motley crew...Heck, it’s still probably going on. Hillary was across the stage from Bill but dressed in one of her trademark black/grey quilted tops, no makeup, hair undone, nodding her head at everything that was said. I think I heard Jackson say he had Parkinsons and I would think Hillary does also. When I tuned in later in the afternoon, the Clintons were gone so apparently they fled Detroit after “the man” spoke - get out of town - did our duty!!

Where are the men who served with McCain to speak to what a brave, courageous, patriot he was?? I have seen nothing but politicians and TV pundits, some of whom are retired military and we know how much we can trust what comes out of their mouths. I even heard someone say - sure can’t remember who - that he was so courageous and brave to plan his own funeral. BS! He gave no thought whatsoever how difficult it would be for his family - full steam ahead because that’s what HE wanted...

I couldn’t help but think about the military men carrying the casket up the Capitol steps today in the rain - slippery steps, themselves getting soaked. Of course, he couldn’t have predicted the weather (in spite of being such a great guy) but he could have taken all matter of things into account before finalizing what he planned for his last goodbye. Not country first - never was - McCain first! Such a pity! He really thought the country needed 5 days to heap praise on him? WOW!

If anyone ever personified the deep state RINO it was john McCain . An egomanical curmudgeon and disloyal to boot . Now they are trying to elevate him to some weird sainthood when in fact he was an A Hole 1st Class

ABC News led off with “Even the heavens are weeping” because it was raining on the casket. Sickening beyond comprehension. Now lets all keep our fingers crossed that we dont get Senator Cindy. Senator Palin sounds good.
