What one needs to understand regarding Senator McCain is that the big media companies were always his friends because McCain was involved in Congress in committees that regulated the media.

He was close to the media and the media returned the favor giving him better publicity than other Republicans and glowing praise when he attacked Republicans and Donald Trump.

I heavily rely on the Greg Gutfeld show for my Saturday-night laughs, since SNL lost their brain.

Thanks for the info. We don’t watch much TV news outside of One America and the weather. So really, our impression is off of the web. It’s not good.

I did vote for him in 2008. Wasn’t much of a choice. When he learned he had brain cancer, he should have resigned. That would have been the honorable thing to do. We needed that vote. And his scuttle of the take-down of Obamacare truly disgusted me. I’ve been sour to this guy forever, even when he let the dems walk all over him. And the GWB let them do the same. Death comes to us all. I’m not sad in the least. In my opinion, he did not go out with dignity. He went out, trying to settle a score.

Anyone know when the funeral will be over?
After all of the visitors have left
and just before the groundskeepers begin.

Vanities should be marked vanities but I hope you aren’t part of the shutting down of posts like this one from my blog.

Arizona has an important primary election on Tuesday and I am concerned about its outcome and concerned that a RINO Cheap Labor Express Republican was endorsed by the POTUS in Mississippi.

Yeah, FOX is going to be a no go zone for days. I think Hannity might be safe, but the TV is off for me until this thin is over. Anyone know when the funeral will be over?

Do what I did and cut your cable TV entirely. If I really wanted to hear Hannity, I can pick him up on my Sirius/XM subscription. Or view his show on YouTube.

At the very least, take a vacation. We are headed into Labor Day weekend, a nice time to unplug for a while and savor the last days of true summer.

Remember when leftist Democrats viciously attacked McCain when he was singing, 'Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran'?

HuffPost: McCain is a Racist and Anti-Semite

I and many others on the Right are setting aside the usual rules about speaking ill of the dead because McCain, more than any other single individual, turned us into men and women without a party—people with no recourse. The Democrats are a party of treason, sedition and slander. McCain was a poison pill that made the Republicans a second party of treason, sedition and slander.

I think what we are trying to do here is send a message to the remaining RINOs that, if they don't clean up their acts, they will be remembered in the same way when they pass away.

I pretty much stop watching TV over the past couple of years. It’s so predictable as to be both boring and irritating. It’s done wonders for my mental health.

The internet is so much better.

I’m not “part of” anything.

The Poster does this all the time.

As you just stated, Vanities should be Posted as such.

As long as he follows Policy he can Post his Vanities until the Cows come home. Not my problem.

Look....Donald J. Trump just about stands alone in protecting this great nation and all of its people. I am honestly sorry if my posts offend you, but I will not remain silent as danger knocks on America’s door and threatens the one true American leader. If I can change one mind, sway one person, to open their minds and research all sides..I will not be silent and hide in the shadows of brewing tyranny.

While we still have the freedom to express our viewpoints...I will take advantage of that American right to speak my piece.

If you want to read and see lie tellers, just read the so-called published articles from “The Hill”!!! Once again, I am deeply sorry if I offended you or anyone else...but, in this case, I believe silence is not golden. We must fight every day with our voices, to protect POTUS, Trump and the great American Nation Republic.

He will be buried at US Naval Acadeny cemetery. It is quite open to the public. So you can go to his grave and pay your respect.

IF the McCain love fest isn’t enough to make you ill, wait until Hillary assumes room temperature.

What is the price for posting your daily vanities?

What is the point given the hundreds of comments already posted on multiple threads? Are you special or something?

There are 20 ongoing Mclame threads where you could speak your mind.

Think of it this way. What if every Freeper did what you did and posted a vanity thread about any given subject? Do you think FR would continue to have the value it has now? Of course not.

The others who have given you some constructive criticism are right; dial it back and post in existing threads like the rest of us. You are not special; at least not any more special than the rest of us.

Your excuse about using your right to speak is nothing more than hubris.
