McCain, a naval aviator and Vietnam war hero who spent five years as a prisoner of war...

Always hate when supposedly conservative outlets repeat that trope about McLame being a war hero.

It is a false premise that nullifies any other argument in the piece.

The man put his life on the line for our country. He sacrificed greatly, and everyone has a breaking point. Most will never know theirs because they will never volunteer themselves to be in position for it to be tested.

That said, his service in politics was corrupt, dishonest and self serving. He betrayed his family, his country, his party, and his constituents. In the end, he proved that he hated Trump more than he loved his country. That will be his legacy.

Personally, I dispised John McCain the politician, but anyone who spend five years as a POW is a war hero...

The guy was a backstabbing selfish arrogant POS....but being a Vietnam POW wasn’t a walk in the park....he gave up five years of his life for this country..

John McCain was an ill tempered, petty, angry, sanctimonious, bitter, thin skinned, smarmy, bully. He treated the last 2 Republican Presidents like trash while never saying a bad thing about Obama. He became the “problem” that is Washington DC. He was a career 37 year politician. He was part of the “cancer” killing the average American. He also was the Hanoi Songbird. He’ll only be missed by family and a few others,

Overrated Pilot - Overrated POW(Other Hanoi Hilton prisoners were awarded MOH. Not the Songbird) - Overrated Politician who did nothing to MAGA.

Dad served with McCain when they were both flight Instructors at NAAS Meridian in the mid-1960's.

Once, there was an admiral coming in for an inspection. On one side of my dad, was a Marine 1st Lt. On dad's right, McCain. Anyway, the Admiral was walking down the line, then bitched at the marine Lt. for having something wrong with his uniform. The admiral later came by my dad, saw he was squared away.

Then, in his peripheral vision, he saw McCain. McCain had a five-o'clock shadow, his navy whites were off-color, and he had hair on his ears. Dad thought he would really get it from the Admiral....

Anyway, the admiral walks up to McCain, eyes him over, then puts out his hand and says, "Hey, John, how's your dad doing?"

McCain was a perfumed prince.

Another guy here put it pretty well a while ago..

McCain

The damned traitor. He has never shown a shred of decency or patriotism. He was a screw off who used family connections to get through the Naval Academy. He screwed around and finished almost last. He crashed a Skyraider through poor airmanship. He hit power lines in Spain through poor airmanship. He was going in a jet to an Army/Navy game and his engine quit again....the navy couldn’t find out why.
Then he didn’t cause the Forrestal, but he ran away and went ashore when everyone else went back with the ship.
He got shot down, and was named the songbird.
He got home after years of being locked up and found his wife had been in a bad car wreck. She spent 6 months in the hospital and had 23 surgeries. She needed a walker and a wheelchair.
He cheated on her and left her.
He got plum assignments based on his “heroism”.
He was a carpetbagger to Arizona where he used another woman to advance himself.
With Kerry he killed the POW accountability issue and made sure those men would never see the light of day. Men in cages died because of him. The Vietnamese and Laotians knew that after the agreement they had better not ever produce a live POW...guaranteed.
He sold out and took bribes in the Keating 5. He turned rat and testifies against them.
He has been an abusive a-hole all across DC. He stabbed America in the back with “nothing to fear from Obama”.
He helped create ISIS and has been photographed with Al-Baghdadi. He helped create the new cold war with the Nazi party of Ukraine.
He has worked as hard as he could for Hillary, and to hurt Trump. To do this more, he personally killed killing Obamacare, costing regular Americans huge sums of money.

And this POS has the balls to lecture us on patriotism?
He’s a traitor and has been all his life to everyone who ever counted on him.

I can’t wait... I just can’t wait.

Making the sacrifice of going into the military is a noble thing to do—BUT

can a veteran be a bad person? Of course, and that’s what Mccain was.

He sold out the country and conservative causes every chance he got, just so the media would love him.

War hero or not he was certainly no hero as a senator.

Obama ran for president saying that President Bush was a drunk who drove our economy into a ditch & needed him to take away his car keys. McCain & the Bush family& Jeff Flake believed Obama to be the most civil of presidents..but of course, he is the one who ran for office calling W a drunk. So go figure.

Obama claims credit for getting the economy out of a ditch, but the only thing he did was try to jumpstart the car using trillion dollar jumper cables, while the Federal Reserve (which tanked the economy in 1990 & 2000, too)...which had raised interest rates over 400% between 2004-2006 to “slow the economy through housing sector to keep wages from rising”....decided the gas tank was empty & continued to fill the tank from 2008-late 2013 with gasoline overflowing the tank & forming a little river.......but really, it was the Bush tax code which towed the economy out of the ditch...as the recession ended in June 2009, which was 6 months earlier than Obama’s economists predicted would happen with successful stimulus.

Obama did not raise income taxes his first 4 yrs and then in 2013, he barely raised any income taxes because he lost the Democrat majority in the House & was close to losing the Senate, too. It is quite shocking that Republicans never have pointed out that the Fed caused the recession, but the Bush tax code towed us out of the ditch while Pelosi & Obama know about cars only to the point where it always needs a jump start as if the battery died....while the Fed one minute thinks the tank needs gas....then they think the brakes are the cooling system of the engine that keeps the engine from over-heating.
Trump built on the Bush tax code success & not more competition & innovation from lower taxes & successful de-regulation means the economy can grow faster with a faster growing money supply, but without more inflation. Not all cars are alike. A Yugo used to overheat warming up in the driveway or sitting at a traffic light, but you can have a Ferrari economy which has an advanced cooling system & can run fast for long periods of time without overheating as long as it keeps getting enough high octane fuel to the engine...ie as long as the Fed lets the money supply accommodate growth instead of having the economy stall by worrying about voodoo economic myths such as points of accelerating inflation or runway inflation....as if the economy were a tractor trailer going down a mountain & losing control....which is NOT what happened in the 1970s...or as if there is such thing as a business cycle....when so much of the economy clearly is NOT cyclical. ie the healthcare sector, the education & public sector, soap, toilet tissue, Social Security spending as Boomers retire....welfare spending on unwed mothers.....dog & cat food, milk & eggs........gasoline.

The trope about McCain’s sacrifice as a POW is an effort to use the Victims Card to shut down any question of his wrong doing.

“Cindy McCain shares vile message about daughter, late husband”

What she shared wasn’t “vile”. I’ve seen more vile (and true) messages about her daughter and husband; this wasn’t all that bad.
