Romney: Those who mock McCain 'humiliate themselves' (another liberal republican heard from!)
The hill.com ^ | 5/12/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 05/13/2018 3:13:46 AM PDT by cotton1706

Senate candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) said Saturday that those who mock Arizona Sen. John McCain's (R) failing health "humiliate themselves."

His comments follow The Hill's report that White House special assistant Kelly Sadler mocked McCain's cancer diagnosis during a meeting with communication staffers Thursday morning.

"John McCain makes America great. Father, grandfather, Navy pilot, POW hero bound by honor, an incomparable and irrepressible statesman. Those who mock such greatness only humiliate themselves and their silent accomplices," Romney wrote.

“That McCain story spread like wildfire to mask the big news of the day. That afternoon the President had announced his program to reduce he cost of medications - a complete alpha to omega change in the system eliminating middlemen and lobbyists from the system.”

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!

It did indeed bury that news item. THAT IS HUGE! People have no idea of the fun and games and supernumeraries that jack up medical costs to the insane levels we are burdened with. That ALONE makes the Trump presidency a success, and your post is the ONLY place I’ve seen this!

Thank you for that. Talk about winning!!!

“I pray he is right with the Lord and spends Eternity in Heaven.”

I’m sure many defunded jihadis will join you in this prayer.

Anyone suffering from a serious ailment, or as the result of a traumatic event, deserves sympathy.

But, when these “victims” start using their physical or mental/emotional maladies (think John McCain or David Hogg) as weapons to beat up on the other side...all bets are off.

Their “special privilege” has evaporated.

Those who still support mccain do so either because he is an opponent of the President, or still hold to the illusion of mccain as a patriot, a “maverick”. For everyone else, since the election, mccain has exposed himself as a fraud. His political career had been carefully crafted to show himself as a patriot. Since the election, his hatred for Trump is so deep he can no longer play the role. His dark side is now free to oppose Trumps every move. To support mccain is to cheer him on, as his carrer goes down in flames.

Forget Vietnam. Why does no one ever mention that John McCain committed crimes as a senator that were worse than those that put former Rep. James Traficant in prison?

He was not being mocked.

Words mean things Willard.

Saying that someone who is supposedly on their death bed, (or is he not coming to work because he is a shirker?) is going to die soon is not mockery. It is just reality.

Now on this thread you will be mocked. And you deserve it.

What kind of nitwit QUITS CAMPAINING before the polls close?

Loser Willard.

You see, that is mockery.

Crime didn't put Jim away, "beam me up Scottie" quips did.

I guess there is no scripture that specifically says it but ask Jonah what happens when we decide not to try to open the gates of Heaven for those we detest/consider unworthy...

When I do spiteful things to anyone I get a pang of conscience that tells me I am wrong and ignoring the Holy Spirit - it's part of the whole deal about asking Jesus to be my Lord and Savior and asking the Holy Spirit to reside within my "heart". If it makes me feel "dirty/stained" I can bet that it isn't in God's Will for me to do it --- I have enough daily transgressions that adding something so obviously wrong seems a bit much...do what you will, I'll pray he has a change of heart and doesn't remain spiteful until the bitter end and that he finds Eternity in Heaven as one of God's children.

Read Jonah and get back to me.....God gets to do the final judgement - if we opt to pre-judge folks into Hell despite the knowledge that He wishes for all of us to find it within ourselves to ask for/accept the incredible gift of Jesus then it has consequences one way or the other....nice screen name for your comment by the way....

I hope he does too. I’m just hoping that he finds out whether he was successful at choosing his way into Heaven very soon.

Just kidding! I know that only God does the choosing and the regeneration of the heart and the washing clean of all transgressions, including any “dirty/stained” feelings that Satan puts in our minds to cause doubt.

Thank you. I do indeed like the screen name. I am an enemy of all those who genocide Christians, or enable the atrocities, or speak in defense of the enablers.

May they all be rewarded as they deserve. Including the unrepentant and malevolent ‘Ace’ McCain.
