Doug Bandow March 21, 2017 TweetShareShare Printer-friendly version Sen. John McCain has the reputation of a foreign-policy maven. He pays attention to little other than foreign affairs. When he ran for president in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, he admitted that he didn’t know much about economics, which helped doom his candidacy. Unfortunately, he shows no greater sophistication when it comes to his favorite topic.
Nor does he brook disagreement, even if well founded. In his view, those who disagree with him are little better than traitors. Especially Americans who believe that Senator McCain’s most important duty is to protect this nation.
In fact, he has routinely advocated what amounts to sacrificing U.S. interests while pushing confrontation and sometimes war with a long list of countries around the globe: Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran, North Korea and, worst of all, Russia. There is scarcely a conflict he doesn’t want the United States to plunge into. And rarely a military deployment he does not want to make permanent. Whatever the international issue, he sees U.S. military action as the answer.

mclame’s prime is coming...when he is no longer “with us”.
He's a dangerous man.
He has always been a walking disaster. Terrible accident-prone pilot, corrupt “Keating 5” jackal, rotten weak presidential candidate, and less than mediocre senator throughout.
He never had a “prime”.... his wife’s money bought him a political career.
Lots of work there: Thank you.
Is this a trick question?
His mom is still going at 105 years old, though.
So maybe 80 is the new 50 after all.
You’re welcome.
90% of it was developed in Nov. 2006 in an effort to defeat him in the primaries.
McCain is the ultimate Fake American.
What a stupid question! Stevie Wonder could see McStain is half (maybe more than half) senile. Poster grandpa for term limits.
Is that question rhetorical?
NO QUESTION!
Ha! Do flies puke on their food?
I deeply suspect McCain never had a prime.
If my take on him is correct, he’s been a despicable excuse for a human being since the grade school playground.
He has led a life of abusing others, screwing off at very important points in his life, misleading folks, betrayal, and his criminal acts.
If McCain were a private individual, I would not address him like this. The fact is the nation is on the line. This man is a disgrace, and it’s a major scandal that he is still on committees in the U. S. Senate.
His state may want him there, but that’s no reason we have to give him any power whatsoever in the Senate.
Take away his chairmanships. Take away his committee appointments.
If you can, vote to send him back to his state one-way.
John McCain 2 sides of the same coin!
When McCain ran for President The MSM treated him like crap. He was to conservative pas the prime and just about everything else.
Now that he dislikes President Trump he is a great guy real center of the road an elder statesman!
What a bunch of friggin hypocrites!
