It is now clear that what is left of the Republicon Party, after being fatally poisoned by the Bush administration, intents to commit suicide by nominating Senator John McCain (R-Hanoi) for the presidency. Where do I start? THE EARLY YEARS McCain spent his boyhood in exclusive boarding schools where staffers were paid to put up with his tirades. We all did some immature things before we matured. But with McCain, the tirades continue today. Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is scant chance he would have been admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy. Given his behavior patterns and academics, had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is little doubt he would have been thrown out. Instead, in 1958 he managed to graduate 894 out of 899. Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, he is no chance he would have been accepted into the prestigious naval flight training program over far better qualified officers. On his way to becoming a North Vietnamese ace, the aviator lost 3 expensive aircraft on routine,

“Wet Start Johnny?”
Anyone remember when his wife, during an interview, affectionately ruffled his hair and joked it was becoming a little thin and he turned to her and said,At least I dont plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c*nt.
Class act.
Thanks, Arizona.

It was me: Sworn Trump enemy John McCain admits HE handed smear dossier to FBI

Lotta donor money in the Military/Intelligence Industrial Complex.

Speak truth to him until his brain locks up.
“What is wrong with the people of Arizona?”
McCain outspent J.D. Hayworth 16 to 1. He also lies as much as Obama, running as a right wing conservative.
Seriously??????
"Recently, the New York Times ran a piece suggesting that McCain may have had an affair with lobbyist Vicki Iseman that went back 8 years."
Surely not... '-) </SARC>
They gifted us with nothing with just a Mclame but with a Flake as well - they managed to outdo South Carolinans who embarrasses themselves with just Linda.
No way... Do you have a source for that?

There are other sources for this but I just clipped the link to the first that came up.
Yes. It was big news when it happened. It just stuck out no just for the meanest and hate behind it but how quick he was to destroy his wife, press be damned.
Would the term “oaf” apply to John McCain?
Back in the days of feudalism, some big, not-too-bright bully boys were recruited into the army, and if they happened to show a great deal of zeal in the face of the enemy, it was not uncommon for some older knight of the realm to take it upon themselves to mentor this bully-boy, nurturing him in the arts of war, but largely not filling in the necessary social graces to go along with non-combat situations. Because great valor was shown on the battlefield, these former peasants may on occasion be elevated into a knighthood, awarded an estate, and given sometimes considerable power. But they remained, first and foremost, an oaf, perhaps shrewd but always rude, unable to shed their earlier inclinations, dreaded by all their compatriots and neighbors.
John McCain is but a throwback to those days of the rough, tough, and often ignorant peasant boys raised to a position far beyond their capacity to satisfactorily fill.
Forever an oaf.
Bump for post 3.
McCain giving the FAKE “dossier” on Trump to Comey makes me DETEST McCain and his concubine, Linda Graham!
"...McCains most horrendous loss occurred in 1967 on the USS Forrestal. Well, not horrendous for him. The starter motor switch on the A4E Skyhawk allowed fuel to pool in the engine. When the aircraft was wet-started, an impressive flame would shoot from the tail. It was one of the ways young hot-shots got their jollies. Investigators and survivors took the position that McCain deliberately wet-started to harass the F4 pilot directly behind him. The cook off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawks fuel tank, released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus 167 men. Before the tally of dead and dying was complete, the son and grandson of admirals had been transferred to the USS Oriskany..."
Just to make clear, I despise McCain and am not defending him. That isn't the point.
The point is, when I read tripe like this, it makes me completely and totally discount everything else in the article, no matter how valid.
And that is precisely what any anyone reading is going to do.
There are two important flaws with this, and they are not to be ignored, because if we allow idiotic things like this into the discussion, it is ALL going to be completely discounted, and we shouldn't allow that.
First, this person who wrote this is COMPLETELY IGNORANT of what happened, because a "wet start" does not involve a flame of any kind to cook something off. A wet start is when the pilot starts the engine by starting the fuel flow and hitting the igniters, but the fuel does not light up and both pools in the engine and comes out the tailpipe. When the pilot sees that the EGT does not rise, they stop, and the fuel must be dissipated by various means before another start is attempted. It is TRUE that a "Wet Start" can turn into a "Hot Start" if the fuel is ignited by the pilot, but that is NOT what the author states.
Even more importantly is the statement that his "wet start" (which, if one were to believe this idiotic thing actually happened, could only be caused by a "hot start") is supposed to have cooked off a Zuni rocket in a Phantom behind him.
I ask you: Look at this graphic of the plane's positions as they were spotted on the flight deck. This spotting location is part of the OFFICIAL record, verified by hundreds of witnesses who were on the flight deck:
How does a flame shooting out the tailpipe of McCain's Skyhawk, which is spotted with the tail pointing over the side, light off any Zuni rocket? And if so, how does that Zuni rocket fly into the drop tank of the plane next to him, rupturing it, dumping the fuel all over the deck and getting ignited? How?
Nothing personal with you, I think you just posted an article and probably didn't even see this, but this conspiracy stuff about McCain on the Forrestal just pisses me off, because it makes us look like conspiracy theory nuts, when we are correct that McCain should be attacked on this.
The only time that McCain was a squadron leader to my knowlege, I was in that squadron as a airman apprentice in transit to my fleet squadron in early 1976. That would be the VA-174 Hellrazors in Cecil Field, FL.
I do not recall any females in that squadron, but I was so focused on what I was doing that I could have been mistaken.
My best friend who enlisted with me was with an A-4 training squadron on the West Coast, and he did have females in his squadron, so I suppose it is possible.
The cook off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawks fuel tank, released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus 167 men.

I’ve seen the movie of this fire, “Learn Not To Burn”, as a safety film. It was documented by the ships’ crew using cameras normally used to film landings and takeoffs.
Never knew the McCain cause, however.
That twists my gut.
See my response above this post. Utter BS. (I don’t blame you, by the way...you are likely reading articles that present it as fact, and it simply isn’t.)
