Very bad news for the country. He's one of the few honourable GOPers left.

Except when he was running for president. You progs weren't quite so complimentary then. Accused him of having an affair. Called him too old. Called him crazy. Progs are vermin.

John McCain is a hero and patriot. Yep he made a mistake selecting Caribou woman as a running mate.

Karl Rove said that if he told his story the way Rove told him to and not selected Palin he would have been prez. That would not have been so bad.

Its really too bad that this is happening to him now. His voice , reason and sanity are desperately needed to counter act the fuher's insane clown posse.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

 

TLetterbird said in July 2008:

That was the tone of most of the libtard posts back then along with dismay at the campaign that was tarnishing an man most of us really respected.

Then I posted this thread in 2012:

Yeah, we savaged the shit out of him.

You had Underwood, and Cheech attacking the hell out of McCain all through it but nobody takes them as representative of the left. Unlike the Tpab/GOP relationship with people like FK and Ograbac, the left actually refewdiates the Cheeches when warranted. GOP elects them president. Remember what Trump said about McCain?

Some of the things he has done more recently made me unhappy, but he's still the guy who was tortured in Hanoi for his country. I don't care what he gave up to them; I would fold under that like a newspaper.

He also survived a horrible fire on the deck of a carrier that set off armed munitions. Pretty manly.

Bush/Rove are progs?

Is that bad? Then why was it fine for progs to trash McCain? The problem here is the prog hypocracy. You lionize him nowl, but called him scum in 2008. As I said, progs are vermin.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

You're a hair over the line on that one buddy. Get some surf.

Not even close to any line. Indeed, there is no line in this country so far as speech is concerned. And if you progs think you are going to silence me with your anti-1st Amendment facism, you think wrong, which is the norm for progs.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

Haha. As I said, get some surf.

You said that "progs" accused him of an affair when I just showed that it was Rove/Bush.

I never called him scum. You can check the archive if you like.

There are more examples of Trump and Coulter types slandering McCain than there are of "progs" doing it.

Seemed in 2008 that most anti-McCain posts here (Underwood types excluded because they hate all neocon hawks) were wondering where the McCain of 2000 went and why oh why did he pick that flaming idiot for a running mate?

-------------------------
...

I have nothing but respect for the man.  I certainly do not agree with all his positions or actions, but have never posted anything negative about him personally.  

But, then again I am not a "prog" so I'm probably not the target of TrumPatsy's stupid comment.

If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC - KV

If you aren't rabidly pro-Trump then you are a "prog" for Tpapablo's purposes.

-------------------------
...

Never said that you did. I said progs called him that. Look at the context of the entire post. You, Scombrid, are a smart fellow, unlike many progs here. You would be able to understand context.

I :heart; Q

Are you sure the bulls didn't catch you? You may not remember if you had a severe concussion.

I considered voting for him, until the fcking idiot Palin. Great God almighty, what was he thinking?

The opposing party (Democrats) goes after him and they are the devil.

Trump (a fellow Republican) attacks him and it's fine.



-------------------------
I was right.

He was thinking "I am behind in the polls and need either a woman or a very conservative person". He found both, but his vetting team failed badly.

Trump, one of the world's biggest pussies, wants a Purple Heart and says he prefers his war heroes to not get captured.

..and the Right still defends him.

This country has taken a right turn down a seriously weird road. What the hell happens when we finally leave the road and head into the weeds?

-------------------------
I was right.

Oh, they caught me alright. But no head wounds.

-------------------------
I :heart; Q

He was too old, and picking Palin for VP was not the act of a totally sane person.
All in perspective, as compared to a criminal rapist driver on greens traitor, he stands pretty fucking tall.

I would've voted  John McCain for president in 2000 (unfortunately he got trashed by the GOP puppet masters to get "their" guy in the driver seat). 

By 2008

1) He was too old

2) for some reason agreed to have Caribou Barbie as a running mate

3) was flip flopping worse than John Kerry (compared to the 2000 Mcain... adios "Maverick")

 

now I just wish him speed and success in his health battle

I think I've been very consistent in my respect for the man, unlike your boy king Donald.
