McCain stabbed the entire conservative movement and everything he claimed to stand for when he voted for Obama care when it actually mattered

There have been very few politicians to step foot on Capitol Hill that were more despicable than that evil, two-faced rat.

McCainShitface. He was a two-faced *sshole who, like most weak minds, got where he was because of his father. His grave deserves being covered in excrement and his name relegated to those of other low-T failures who wouldn’t qualify as ditch diggers save for money.

I take it you didn’t care for him!

Predictable AP hit piece on Kari Lake and the MAGA movement, or as it’s called in Arizona, ‘America First’. The Left is terrified of Kari, DeSantis, and all those who are refusing to roll over and wag their tail as we’ve done in the past. Their running dogs in the media are just proving Kari’s constant criticism of them that they are shills for the Left.

You’ve described it perfectly.

One of the very best statements any American has ever made!

He was the first candidate for President I was old enough to vote for, and I’ve voted for every Republican candidate since, although in a few elections I probably should have stayed home and not voted.

The history has to be more complicated than that. There was a big split in the 1960s between Eastern and Western Republicans, but Goldwater pretty much started the Republican Party in Arizona, which had been a Democrat state, so if you were an ordinary, run of the mill Eisenhower Republican you probably voted for him. In later years, old Goldwater and young McCain weren’t so far apart politically. Also it’s been said that old McCain relied on Democrat crossover voters to help him win the GOP primaries.

I cannot watch that ad it was too painful. One of the most disgusting political ads ever made. When it came to Barry Goldwater in your heart you knew he was right.

The more Goldwaterite the party gets, the better.

My mother had a piece of jewelry, a gold pin shaped like an elephant with black glasses.

I can only hope this is true. McCain was a disaster.

It was never McCain's party. Trump broke that chump. McCrisis died babbling incoherently and filling his diaper as his brain was devoured by a glioblastoma in the shape of a giant O(bama).

Richard Nixon was the first presidential candidate I ever voted for.

And I have no regrets for voting for him, regardless of outcome.

He was a good President, until the Silent Coup.

He did that because he hated Trump. He was such a little man.
