P.S. Old Navy friend said McCain was involved in the loss of 3 USN aircraft in his career. Said, “Two more downed Navy planes and we’re going to make John an honorary Japanese Ace.

REMEMBER WHO DECIDES ELECTIONS! It's not us or the Libs. It's the Soccer Moms, the swing voters.

The True Military Record of John McCain Written by an Active Marine
Uncategorized by admin

THE TRUE MILITARY RECORD OF JOHN MCCAIN WRITTEN BY AN ACTIVE MARINE.
9/03/08

McCain has never really earned anything. He is from a wealth pampered background and not fit to lead this nation.

A “war hero” doesn’t finished 894th out of 899 and still get stationed at a Navy champagne unit and promoted ahead of all but two of his 898 other classmates.

A “war hero” doesn’t crash three U.S. Navy jets out of sheer incompetence and ineptitude, including two during non-combat training sessions.

A “war hero” doesn’t get written up on drunk-and-disorderly, fraternization, disobeying orders, and insubordination charges more than two dozen times in less than three years.
A “war hero” doesn’t get promoted to squadron commander of the air field named after his own grandfather immediately after crashing his third airplane. A “war hero” doesn’t have all the military records that cover his time in Vietnam and all disciplinary actions against him censored and sealed “as a matte r of national security.” A “war hero” doesn’t get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact “for bravery” for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because he’s the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals. A “war hero” doesn’t repeatedly cheat on the wife who’s back in the states waiting for him, and then cheat on her more when he returns to the states, and then divorce and abandon her.
A “war hero” doesn’t systematically vote against every single pay and benefit increase for military and veterans throughout his entire political career, all the while claiming to be “the soldier’s Congressman,” and then take credit for the passage of a G.I. benefits bill he that voted AGAINST. A “war hero” McCain III lost jet number one in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while practicing landings. He was knocked unconscious by the impact coming to as the plane settled to the bottom. McCain’s second crash occurred while he was deployed in the Mediterranean. “Flying too low over the Iberian Peninsula,” Timberg wrote, “he took out some power lines [reminiscent of the 1998 incident in which a Marine Corps jet sliced through the cables of a gondola at an Italian ski resort, killing 20] which led to a spate of newspaper stories in which he was predictably identified as the son of an admiral.”
McCain’s third crash three occurred when he was returning from flying a Navy trainer solo to Philadelphia for an Army-Navy football game. Timberg reported that McCain radioed, “I’ve got a flameout” and went through standard relight procedures three times before ejecting at one thousand feet. McCain landed on a deserted beach moments before the plane slammed into a clump of trees. McCain’s fifth loss happened during his 23rd mission over North Vietnam on Oct. 26, 1967, when McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. McCain ejected from the plane breaking both arms an d a leg in the process and subsequently parachuted into Truc Bach Lake near Hanoi. For 23 combat missions (an estimated 20 hours over enemy territory), the U.S. Navy awarded McCain a Silver Star, a Legion of Merit for Valor, a Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service medals. “McCain had roughly 20 hours in combat,” explains Bill Bell, a veteran of Vietnam and former chief of the U.S. Office for POW/MIA Affairs — the first official U.S. representative in Vietnam since the 1973 fall of Saigon. “Since McCain got 28 medals,” Bell continues, “that equals out to about a medal-and-a-half for each hour he spent in combat. There were infantry guys — grunts on the ground — who had more than 7,000 hours in combat and I can tell you that there were times and situations where I’m sure a prison cell would have looked pretty good to them by comparison
The question really is how many guys got that number of medals for not being shot down.” For years, McCain has been an unchecked master at manipulating an overly friendly and biased news media. The former POW turned Congressman, turned U.S. Senator, has managed to gloss over his failures as a pilot by exaggerating his military service and lying about his feats of heroism. McCain has sprouted a halo and wings to become America’s POW-hero presidential candidate.
This article was written by an active, unnamed Marine. It was published by Gale Toensing founder of the Corner Report.com and she sent it to me. It is a true account of McCain’s real war record and evidence of his lack of fitness for the office of President.

Donald Trump is not a good politician.

Which is why he's so popular--A large number of voters are very tired of professional politicians.

Here is the video. Listen to it and tell me if you agree with this rat.

Mr Trump is SPOT on, is he not?
McCain began the IRS attacks on conservatives,
protected the Benghazi transfer to al Qaeda,
and formed ISIS in Syria.

Here, for Obama, McCain empowers future rape, slavery and Islamic terror.

That said, The Donald's recent foray into flaming napalm re: John McCain was both unnecessary, and unwise. It had no upside.

That might be true if you believe everything the Washington Post tells you.

I'm sure that Trump's advisors are advocating exactly what you're saying. I'm also sure that it is an absolute method to lose the election for Trump. ‘Oooh, he kicked McCain in the nutz...’ is what Americans got out of his comments, not ‘How dare he insult everyone who ever served.’

Those who want to be offended at having one of the worst senators turned nominee being raked a bit are out there to push someone else. Hilary must have been cackling with glee as she sent her minions to ensure everyone heard part of what Trump said.

Tough. We honestly need to let people be offended. You're offended? Good, here's what I'm offended by - you move the conversation forward when you have their attention. Mealy mouth positions and attitudes just get us a big ole loss.

Go Trump Go! Barrel through, knock down a whole lot of sacred horses along the way, and likely, if he really did crash and burn, there should be room for more sensible conservatives to step into the breach.

Your way gives a Bush nomination. I'm NOT going down that road again (or the rest of the Rudy Mcomney parade.) I'd love for Cruz to walk into first place behind a steamrolling Trump.

I think Trump needs to contact the GOPe and ask them how to run a presidential campaign. Failing that, he should certainly listen to you. /s

By 2016, the Republican party won’t have won a decisive election in 28 years. And..., they only won that one because the populace wanted to continue the Reagan policies.

In effect, we haven’t had a good candidate since 1984. That’s 32 freaking years...

Trump shoots from the hip, and that is precisely why the media and the GOPe can’t control him. He nullifies their attempts to silence him, just like the guy who ran in 1984.

Love him or hate him, Trump is the only guy capable of doing this.

I’m sick and tired of one person or another trashing Trump for entering the filed, addressing real issues with candor, and destroying the opposition all in under two weeks.

As I said earlier today, the other candidates can adopt his polices or oppose him stridently.

If they oppose him, their political careers are over.

The public is putting both parties on notice. The Uni-party is over.

No go cry your eyes out.

Well I don’t know about everybody else but so far his take down of the illegals, the media, the establishment and Juan seem to be working with me.

Now if he would do the same with the abortion industry, the homosexual Mafia, the feminutsies, the race hustlers, the islamsts ... he would definitely get my vote.

By your standards he is not a good politician. We need fresh people, people that are non-District of Corruption types. Non Uniparty types.

Like a soccer mom is going to give a rats rear about McShame.

He’s talking about issues in a way the average voter wants to hear them.

Not being a professional politician is a good thing!!!

Go ahead, vote for a RINO or a dim.

“Donald Trump is not a good politician.”

His most enduring quality.

As some posters this morning have pointed out, Trump was clumsily repeating a joke used earlier by both Chris Rock and Al Franken. For that reason, the lib media may let this one slide pretty quick.

Great advice for a status quo campaign.

Status quo campaigns are why we keep losing.

Best part of Trump is he is not a professional politician. The author credits a lying, sniveling piece of human trash, with a side practice of sexual predation, as a “great politician.” You kiddin. Clinton was elected by a corrupt, lying, old media monopoly that had nothing to do with Bill’s talent for lying and cheating—they covered for this bum and promoted him.

Trump may not care if he goes all the way. He obviously loves this country and wants certain conversations to take place. He is forcing those conversations. We are all p.c. fatigued. What a refreshing change.

He knows we have several stellar potential candidates. If he can get them talking about the subjects he wants aired he might be satisfied with that.

He takes no prisoners and is certainly going to muddy up some folks who deserve it.

I see no downside. Go get ‘em, Donald.

I think that McAmnesty deserves what he’s getting from Trump. Nobody else has ever been willing to go there with McAmnesty and maybe that “maverick” jackass will STFU
