John McCain, American ‘Hero’

by Michael Walsh


What, me worry?

John S. McCain III, the disastrous Republican 2008 candidate who suspended his presidential campaign and refused to take the fight to Barack Obama when he had the chance to actually do something for his country, has beclowned himself yet again:

Highlighting the discord among Republicans over President Barack Obama’s targeted killings policy, two prominent GOP senators, John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, took to the Senate floor to criticize Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s 12-hour filibuster Wednesday…

McCain said Thursday the Senate needed to conduct hearings and an in-depth debate on Obama’s targeted killings policy, “but that conversation should not be talking about drones killing Jane Fonda and people in cafes. It should be all about what authority and what checks and balances should exist” in order to combat “an enemy that we know will be with us for a long time.”

The cream always rises to the top, but so does the scum. Every time I heard McCain, the word “insane” comes to mind.

I saw another that was good with McCain being shown next to the angry Birds logo.

John McCain, American ‘Hero’

From hero to political hack in less than a lifetime. His hero status was worn out years ago.

Yes, I’ve seen that. Like all those living on reputation alone it will probably never be questioned.
