    Obama and the Social Democrats did the biggest government power grab since they de-privatized Social Security. You can't undo it all at once.

    Were they equally cool with Bill Clinton's actions with Monica?

    I don't like it either. Agreed it can't be undone all at one, but what Obama did in a year, certainly the Republicans can undo in 8....going on 9 years. Again, where's the Republican plan?

    That the Lefties are making a big deal about McCain even though they hated him? It doesn't bother me. I just think it's hypocritical of them.

    What failures? Getting caught in a fire? Being awarded the DFC for bombing his target after being hit by a SAM? Serving over 20 years in the USN?

    not talking about supporting him, just being courteous to him and his family on his death bed, the things we have heard said about McCain are sad, from doing nasty things to his grave, ect.... it's just crazy

    Only every time some liberal spouts off about some or all of it. Have heard it all for a long time now who do I believe you or my lying ears? If it walks like a duck and quacks like duck, it's probably a duck. The difference between liberals and conservatives is liberals focus on the needs of small groups separate and apart from the rest of America but expect America to pick up the tab. Conservatives want to do the most good for the highest number of all Americans. We've become tone deaf to all of these other issues, while some are certainly noble causes they don't address the well being of the entire nation, America has to come first. The above mentioned items are all losers in all elections for the foreseeable future none of them have ever gotten us anywhere and honestly don't really matter with voters. I don't think the left gets that.

    Getting caught in a fire??? You think his actions ended there??? Ha. I'll post again. Read about McCains action during the fire AND immediately after.

    I did. Most of it looks like spin. Who wrote that? Bush's Swiftboaters?

    No doubt McCain had his flaws, but to snipe at every action seems silly. What were the actions of those who claim to have witnessed those actions? Certainly they were among the dead.

    Trump is such a compulsive liar that it's impossible to have any idea what his net worth is.

    Better than being raped tortured and killed by US armed and protected terrorists masquerading as freedom fighters

    It isn't jealousy. It is dislike. Trump and McCain hated each other.

    I suppose you are referring to President Trump. The man you swore to impeach on the day he was elected. The man who was a friend to all, but became a racist the day he defeated HRC. The man who was opposed by all in the upper echelons of the FBI and Dept. of Justice. (Remember, Eric Holder declared himself to be Obama's "wingman" while Sessions has recused himself). The man to whom the mainstream media reports negatively 90% of the time, I'd say he's overcome incredible odds and still has a following that is quite a threat to "establishment types!"

    McCain used Sarah Palin just like he used his 1st wife. Have your needs met then cast her away.

    Making up stories isn't really the way to get a grasp on the current situation.

    Agreed and Trump was petty enough he couldn’t rise above that hatred to follow tradition and sign the half-staff proclamation until McCain is buried tomorrow.

    Which stories are made up? The current situation is more apparent now than ever.....the FBI pushing forth a false Steele Dossier to start this whole "collusion investigation". How many FBI have been demoted or fired for lying now? You verify the number of negative news stories on Trump compared to other Presidents.

    Honoring dead legislators is not in the Presidents Job description. I care about what Trump does and does not do for the country.

    That's because he's the most negative president we've ever had. By far.

    If you lived in one of the countries he worked with terrorist mercenaries to destabilize--or even tried to keep up with what is really happening-- you would have something better to contribute than a smart aleck reply.

    And McCain was petty enough to disinvite Trump from his funeral. That, however, was a win for Trump.

    Agreed it was petty, disagreed it was a win for Trump. It could have been a win for Trump if he took the high road, but he didn't. IMO, McCain lowered himself to Trump's level with the public "disinvite". Trump reacted like Trump usually does with petty bullshit.
