McCain has a lot in common with Ted Kennedy. Both rode their family name, both brain cancer, divorce, wanted to be President, and both die a US Senator.

I think he's trying. RIP to John McCain. For all of darkness surrounding him, I mourn the young man who had ideals, heard the call to serve, and worked to keep this nation great. I firmly believe no one begins their political career corrupt, but that never seems to save any of them.

Rob's House Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but I'm getting a little nauseated watching people choke on this guy's rooster. I give him the same level of respect for going to war that I give anyone else who answers the call, and no more.

B-Man Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 *This* is why the fawning coverage of McCain right now is infuriating. Nobody on the right is ever tolerable to the media until they are no longer capable of wielding actual power. Then they become the “good” republican to contrast with whoever is the new threat to the left. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 What the media did to McCain and Romney in 2008 and 2012, led to people not giving a **** about character and only caring about sticking it to the Dems and Media.

LSHMEAB Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think we can safely say that Republicans have officially lost the moral high ground. That's not a bad thing. It never really made sense in the first place. A darwinian approach to governance is diametrically opposed to Christian values. Just seems as though that particular juxtaposition has crossed the Rubicon of plausibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
