John McCain dead at 81

Calm down. All the Dems said that McCain was Hitler and an adulterer. McCain was a bad politician. His word was no good and he was too petty to switch to the Democrats where he belonged. He was a war hawk and a social liberal. He thought it was wrong to call Obama as Barrack Hussein Obama.

When he got home, he probably should have lived off the money his wive's family made from selling booze and stayed out of politics. If he had any principles, what were they? His father and grandfather were Admirals, but he was just a lousy politician who did not relate to anyone.

Nothing in there at all is substantiated.
If not, its because you have blinders on. He performed low in flight school. He was too inexperienced to be on the ship he was on flying the "hottest" missions in Man. He got put there because his ship was experiencing extensive repairs and he wanted out from behind a desk. My 2cents.

I voted for Hitler? Wow, I’m a monster. :Roflmao
Me too. I wonder what happened to all the "I'm voting for the lesser of two evils" or "I'm not voting for pastor of the USA" rationales used by Trump voters in 2016? Didn't this same reasoning exist in 2008?

So why would you expend energy to fight a dead politician?
Why would YOU expend energy to defend him?????
Did you have it administered to your brain Curtis? How do you know how much trauma was going on up there in his knogin ? Did you have a Vietcong warden hitting you in the head with a wooden stool? I don’t think so. Do you know if he was ever diagnosed with PTSD? But so you want to scrutinize a politician, be my guest. But when it’s said that in effect it’s good he is dead and other such vindictive crud, you are no longer scrunizing, your cursing someone’s life... how can we do that and claim we are Christians? I would sooner just allow the guy to Rest In Peace and fight someone who could fight back.

Your choice, but if you truly feel this way, why do you read/comment on posts of this nature. This IS something you, and only you, can control!!

He pressured congress to lay off the investigation into the savings and loan scandal. Did the same thing with the mortgage bump. He got us into a bunch of wars we didn’t need. John McCain was everything the democrats say they’re against. The urge to protect him from criticism is truly baffling.

oh how dare I try to interfere with such a lovely bashing of a dead guy! Ding dong the wicked witch :Laugh Are you serious?!?:Roflmao

But let me ask you a serious question since you are dolling out sage advice... and this is one a stalwart Christian like yourself should be able to answer, “would you say that Christ was an idealist?”

Read about his crashes and how he had a flight record no where near good enough to earn him the seat he had when he got shot down.

Are you saying the Navy made a mistake by allowing him to continue as a pilot?
Or are you saying somehow the Navy was influenced by outsiders that caused them to allow him to continue being a pilot?
Or maybe he got into accidents because he was a risk taker and unlucky?

From a fellow pilot:
Anita G Flippo Hitchcock

The Navy was influenced by insiders, just like every other form of government. Did you read the glowing native son bio that Salty posted? Did you see the part where little tough guy Mccain as a plebe freshman steps up to a firstie senior? #1 That does NOT happen in real world academy life, my son went through it. How did Mccain win the day, supposedly? Just told the senior who he was, John Mccain THE 3rd. Poor senior runs away scared, oh my. He was well used to cashing in by that point.
