What John McCain Would Say About Putin and Ukraine
MSN ^ | 1/14/22 | Mark Salter

Posted on 10/14/2022 10:01:14 AM PDT by NeverCheney

Usually I’m reluctant to put words in the mouth of my late employer, Senator John McCain, other than those he instructed me to write at some point during our long association. Yet since his death I have so missed not only his company, but his voice in our national affairs, that I have at times been tempted to conjure it from my knowledge of the values and views that animated his distinctive appeals to Americans and the world.

I wanted to hear him during President Donald Trump’s two impeachment trials. I wanted to hear him react to the travesty of January 6. I wanted to hear him when the United States abruptly withdrew its forces from Afghanistan. And I want to hear him summon Americans and the West to the aid of Ukraine, a country whose independence he championed as if it were his own

McCain isn’t dead. Lindsey, McConnell, Biden and the McCainiacs on Freerepublic are keeping his warmongering spirit alive, by singing from McCains hymnal on Ukraine and Russia.

I wanted to offer my respects at his graveside with a used 12 pack of beer and a used back of burritos.

McCain's last battle was with cancer. He lost that battle.

Can we say the right side won in that battle?

I never wish I’ll health or -heaven forbid - death on McCain. I only wish he hadn’t been so aggressive in trying to send others to early deaths in imperialistic, regime-change wars

Who the hell cares what he would have Sid.

Because of him we got Obamacare AND higher medical costs.

He was a TRAITOR to the Republican Party.

McCain would probably tell his "my fellow prisoners" that he "couldn't agree more" that western Pennsylvania is racist. LOL

Mark Salter is one of the chief infiltrators who worked for McCain.
Lets just hope that after Kari Lake becomes Gov, she is wise enough order everyone on her staff to avoid him and those like him

I, for one, am glad I didn't have to hear that tiresome, loathsome piece of sh!t.

I hope they've re-filled the sanitizer dispenser at gravesite - sometimes you just can't get to soap and water easily to wash up...

from the article:

“I most miss McCain’s voice, and I believe the world misses it most, in the moral argument he would have joined, hoping to rally the West to embrace its obligation to advance the cause of freedom and justice in the world. These values are threatened in Ukraine and elsewhere by Putin’s ambitions. McCain spoke frequently of how proud he was of his country for so often coming to the aid of people in small, faraway countries, about whom Americans knew little, for the sake of every human being’s right to have their dignity respected.”

"I wanted to hear him during President Donald Trump’s two impeachment trials."

McCain didn't care much for hobbits either.

McCain wanted war with everyone possible.
I feel bad he was a POW, but that’s not an excuse to send other men to die for useless, non allied, countries.
