Hey all!

I am torn about McLame being a hero. Other than serving honorably, at least until he got shot down, but, I have not looked into the validity of the claims, but there are some claims that as a pow, he was a wuss. The claims I heard were that he sold out his fellow prisoners and gave military information.

So, ok, he has earned the title hero.

He has also earned the title of jackass since at least 2001 when he threatened to become a dem. Or, when he stood in thenway of greater tax cuts when Bush first proposed them, which led to miniscule cuts, that eventually got rescinded. Or, as the current rumor runs, he asked Lois Lerner to target Tea Party groups.

I don’t like paint jackasses as heroes.

I have no problem calling McCain a hero for his service, because basically I think anyone who served in the military (with the exception of demonstrated traitors and deserters) is a hero.

That said, he’s been a self-serving, arrogant, bad-tempered political hack and has not served the American people well.

Here's how I see the Trump/McCain situation.

John McCain was a POW for 5 1/2 years. He has to be saluted for that. Rumors were that he did break under duress/torture.There's no telling what was said to whom and who was effected.Hard to say which of us would have broken and who would have not.

That being said when McCain was released from years of torture under a brutal communist regime instead of going after the commies worldwide he came after conservatives. He is still coming after us today. That pretty much says it all for him. As far as Trump goes he will self destruct.It's just a matter of time.He has the "hoof in mouth disease" and can't get rid of it.

Sharyl Atkisson bailed him out this time but next time he won't be so lucky.

The drivebys are just salivating for a gotcha moment with Trump they will get it even if they have to make it up. Trump did change the venue of debate between the Republicans running for office. We are now debating all the abuses and screw ups of the Chicago regime for the past six years.

We are finally talking about Obamcare, illegal immigration, border control, bad trade deals with china, bad deals with iran and many other issues that should have been on the chalk board all along. We have Donald Trump to thank for that and we should while he is still around.
