So, this is how it happens.
Maverick my left foot.
I never got over what he put our Sarah through....what he allowed his staff to say and do, towards her.
She showed such grace, through it all.
Not grieving for the man. His treasonous activities along with many others in the Swamp need to be exposed, but get ready for the sappy, syrupy tributes to him that are totally undeserved!
9 years to the day that Ted Kennedy died, of different type of brain tumor. How poetic.
His mother is still alive, 106 years old. I feel bad for her, the pitfalls of a very long life (insert theme song from “Highlander”).
The diarrhea-like torrent of praise has already made me sick. And attacks on the President for “merely” offering condolences rather than fell*ting the corpse. This game that people play....I can well understand why the LEFT should be singing his praises. Who knew he was like the greatest person ever? Shall we build him a monument? They want to rename the Russell building after him. Shall we build him a monument? Perhaps a statue of some gang members crossing the Rio Grande while he helps pull in their boat?
A former Senator died a few weeks ago, Paul Laxalt, a far better man, and his passing got approximately 0.01% of the attention this will. Shameful.
Hero was he? I feel bad for the torture he endured (of his own choosing because he refused to be released for silly macho reasons) but the word is cheapened when ascribed to those who haven’t done anything heroic. What heroic feats did he perform? Other than his superhuman feat of making Dubya and Romney look better in comparison of course.
Great man? He was a nasty man who was rude to everyone when the cameras were off. I will compare him to Gandhi, who was a genuine piece of crap human being (far worse than McCain) and yet “beloved”.
When faced with losing to Obama instead of doing what he had to in order to win (even after the financial crisis he would have had a chance if he had done what was necessary ie savage Mr. DingleBarry) he chose to ingratiate himself to the media by giving his blessing to Obama (”Don’t be afraid”, and introducing him at the Al Smith dinner in Mid-October, what has he even doing there?!). That was unforgivable. Even if he HAD been a “war hero” that would have cancelled it out.
Hard to find a worse GOP nominee. To whom to we look back to? Hapless Jerry Ford? Wilkie wasn’t really a Republican but he ran a strong race. Alf Landon?
His hallmark legislative accomplishment was an attempt to kneecap his own party’s fundraising.
And the coup de grace, he votes to keep Obamacare, probably more out of petty hatred for President Trump than any kind of conviction. And he left the Senate GOP shorthanded while he died, one final middle finger to the President and the American people.
To sum it up, he was an egomaniac who only his family should have reason to mourn.
May God almighty have mercy on his soul. And may the Governor make a swift appointment of someone who DOES NOT SHARE HIS LAST NAME.
