Question of the Day, Feb 21

Its Whack-a-Mole.
Everytime ya’ whack the Terrrris’ Mole or Defense budget Mole the McCain Mole pops up.

Let the majority decide who’s best fit to lead, they said.

In his 2002 memoir, “Worth the Fighting For,” McCain wrote that he had separated from Carol before he began dating Hensley.

“I spent as much time with Cindy in Washington and Arizona as our jobs would allow,” McCain wrote. “I was separated from Carol, but our divorce would not become final until February of 1980.”

An examination of court documents tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had “cohabited” until Jan. 7 of that year — or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.

Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five

You’re John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker.

John McCain: When “Tokyo Rose” Ran for President
What Was John McCain’s True Wartime Record in Vietnam?
it was hardly a secret in veterans’ circles that McCain had spent much of the war producing Communist propaganda broadcasts since these had regularly been played in the prisoner camps as a means of breaking the spirits of those American POWs who resisted collaboration. Indeed, he and some of his friends had speculated about who currently possessed copies of McCain’s damning audio and video tapes and wondered whether they might come out during the course of the presidential campaign. Over the years, other Vietnam veterans have publicly leveled similar charges, and Schanberg had speculated that McCain’s leading role in the POW cover up might have been connected with the pressure he faced due to his notorious wartime broadcasts.

In late September 2008 another fascinating story appeared in my morning New York Times. An intrepid reporter decided to visit Vietnam and see what McCain’s former jailers thought of the possibility that their onetime captive might soon reach the White House, that the man they had spent years brutally torturing could become the next president of the United States. To the journalist’s apparent amazement, the former jailers seemed enthusiastic about the prospects of a McCain victory, saying that they hoped he would win since they had become such good friends during the war and had worked so closely together; if they lived in America, they would certainly all vote for him. When asked about McCain’s claims of “cruel and sadistic” torture, the head of the guard unit dismissed those stories as being just the sort of total nonsense that politicians, whether in America or in Vietnam, must often spout in order to win popularity. A BBC correspondent reported the same statements.

Let us consider the implications of this story. Throughout his entire life John McCain has been notable for having a very violent temper and also for holding deep grudges. How plausible does it seem that the men who allegedly spent years torturing him would be so eager to see him reach a position of supreme world power?

McShitstain was the next in line to catapult off the Forrestal. He thought it would be a “gas” to ignite his engines to show off. Unfortunately, this show of acting stupidly caused the fighter jet behind him carrying heat seeking missiles to trigger the missile, thus killing fellow sailors. His piss ass pantywaist daddy had McShitstain removed from the ship via helicopter before fellow sailors could tie his ass up and toss him overboard.
McShitstain, aka Songbird, lost 7 aircraft, one in Spain where he caused a power outage. He also graduated 2nd to last from the naval academy.
McShitstain took monies from Soros. As my Vietnam vet dad says, the NVA did America no favors by keeping this POS alive.
Fuck McShitstain and his fat, ugly ditzy daughter with a degree in Art on Faux news.

Well, done, Admin!

You put a lot of effort into keeping this site running on a shoestring. No matter how it happens, I’m glad that the thing did go viral, and that your visitor count is way up.

Maybe more people will start buying their crap from your Amazon link, or sending you some bones to keep this machine running.

Maybe you’ll make some decent money for all your troubles someday.

I hate McCain and everything he does but I believe the attacks on his military service are wrong and lies. Here’s a link where they go over the data and say that first, McCain’s plane had no afterburner making a wet start improbable and even if he did it was not pointed at the plane whose missile fired off. They say the reason the missile fired off is in the hurry to launch they didn’t keep the plane grounded, they removed the safety pin before the plane was on the steam launcher and this caused a static electrical discharge that lit the missile. McCain was damn near killed in the fire.

Let’s look at the other things about McCain. I believe that McCain probably did get some breaks in assignments because he was an Admirals son but flying fighters off aircraft carriers is dangerous as can be. Flying while in war time is hardly dishonorable. Look at the pampered losers we have in office now and compare. Let’s look at his crashes and the collision with the power lines in Italy. Well not good but let’s face it Navy pilots are hot dogs. Most all of them are or they wouldn’t be doing such a dangerous job. Was McCain the best pilot? Probably not but even the worst Navy carrier pilot is probably a cut above most others.

What about him making speeches for the North Vietnamese? I have no problems with this. They tortured him so badly that his arms were pulled out of their sockets and he still can’t raise them. People can only take so much. I know many took more but I can’t bring myself to attack someone who was tortured so badly. All of us have a breaking point. Even then because he was an Admirals son they were going to release him and he refused to go.

If your going to criticize McCain there’s plenty to work with. His stupid mass immigration ideas and well… there’s plenty not to like. Stick with that. I really don’t like him but there’s nothing at all wrong with his military service. Maybe he wasn’t the top of the warriors but hell somebodies got to be at the end or the middle. Not everyone is perfect. He did his duty and suffered under circumstances far harsher than most of us will ever endure.

Take everything you know about him or could surmise from the evidence provided and you have a very complicated, conflicted and troubled guy. There are admirable qualities and then there are the things he’s said and done that would seem reprehensible to a normal person.

What really troubles me is his inability to just step away from power and allow someone else the opportunity to serve. That kind of hubris and malignant self-infatuation is the most disturbing aspect of his character. America would survive if McCain went on to do something else, yet his ego will not allow for it. That should be the disqualifier.
