Wasn't that their pious Easter visit to church...after he'd spent the morning, er, at the "office"?
Good post. We do need an alternative if CFR isn't tossed out as unconstitutional before the election.
One of several critically timed HUGE BIBLE photo ops
Admiral Stockdale was a senile fool in 1992, when he ran with Perot. He had to be a real senile looney by the time McCain ran.
McCain is a real stinkbag. Dunno how you can possibly support such a freedom grabbing loser.
...Not that McCain might not have been a hero. Like others here pointed out, he stayed a prisoner, instead of going along with being released...which isn't something to sneeze at, I take it. I can only imagine how bad it was to be a prisoner of the North Vietnamese...so, anyway, McCain did suffer, and payed a price for service to this Nation, then, at that time. Others suffered, with much less fanfare...myself, I wasn't there.
This Speer fellow I mention flew A-6 Intruders, was shot down twice himself, also deliberately splashed another one near a carrier because he was wounded (shrapnel through feet and hands), and didn't want to make the landing. "Just didn't feel like it", he said...
He says also that he tried to re-enlist for a third tour--but they wouldn't let him. Asking him "why not?", he told me he thinks it was because he (not completely unlike McCain) wrecked too many planes, heh heh...so instead, they had him fly for Air America, carting brass (officers) around, for a while. Go figure.
This Speer's dad was a WWII Pacific theater ace fighter pilot. Being "just" a bomber pilot, himself, he took some ribbing from commissioned and warrants that knew, or knew of his pop.
Up until a few years ago, there was still plenty of fight in Speer. Just pour a few drinks in him, and he would be good to go! Haven't seen him in a couple of years, which is a shame...he doesn't live that far away...
Reference bump
So what, abortion is but one issue. He is a disgusting psychopath who tries to ban everything and everything that is not wetting his own personal beek.
Look up what he tried to do to mixed martial arts because of his boxing lobbyist buddies. That will tell you everything you need to know about him. He sucks.
Why on earth would you pick the screen name, "Stalker?"
It's more important to stop McCain then Hillary? WOW!!!
If not a traitor what is Hillary, who has been working for the destruction of democracy in the U.S. all her life ?
And Hillary is?
McCain does come across as a sociopath opportunist.
The are trying to say posting on an internet fourum which discusses politics is "electioneering" and thus FR would have to shut down 30 days before ANY election.
IOW they are trying to stop people from interacting and discussing politics.
Why? What is the benefit of blurring the distinction between the GOP and the Democrats?
At least when clinton was president, the Congress stood against him most of the time. All sorts of garbage became law under Bush and I believe that it would only get worse if McCain was in there.
It is important to stop BOTH of them. The entire Republican Party will be working to stop Hillary, and the conservatives (Republican or otherwise) can work to stop McCain.
You are exactly right.
Fascism means that you can do whatever the government allows with the property that you own and your own life.
In a free country -- anyone remember that time in America? -- the individual runs his own life and businesses are free to compete.
That's not usually a recommendation to become a Navy pilot...unless your daddy is an admiral with lots of influence. Crashing 5 airplanes before getting shot down in Viet Nam isn't normally tolerated either.
Do you know if there is any truth to the stories that he was treated better than the rest and came home weighing more like a healthy man than a POW?
I refer to him as the Manchurian Candidate.
Great post. Well said.
Thanks.
Reagan made a mistake. Bush and McCain have not only not learned from that mistake, but are exacerbating it.
