John McCain — A Once Great Man

I stopped reading there. McQueeg was never a great man.

[dforest]

President Trump lucked out. I know I wouldn’t want to be at that old dirtbag’s funeral.

He has a great excuse to ignore it.

[bgill]

When was he great?

[Hoosier-Daddy]

He was called a maverick because he would do things may absolutely no sense... unless you were beholden to somebody.

[Maskot]

He graduated #666

[VanDeKoik]

He hid behind Reagan to get some “conservative credentials”, and blended-in with the rest of the RINOs during the Bush years.

He was then rewarded with “his turn” to lose a presidential race.

And in the end, he’s become the Democrat he has always wanted to be like Arlen Spector, and Jim Jeffords. Juan just doesnt have the balls to declare it.

[Fiddlstix]

Another "tribute" to 'ol Juan McScum for you
May he rot in hell

If John McCain’s daddy had not been a “Flag” level officer in the Navy WE WOULD HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM. Think about that for awhile. The only thing notable that he did was crash 6 aircraft and squeal on his fellow prisoners so he could get out of the “tiger cage” he was in. Other than that...he has done nothing more that breath up the oxygen some other useful person would have done.

[Paine in the Neck]

A rotten student, a disaster to men and equipment post-commissioning until the N Vietmanese took him out of circulation, then a philandering, backstabber of a husband while being a crook and enemy of the Constitution as a politician. When, exactly, was McStain a great man?

[cnsmom]

I’ve never been a fan of JM. I feel his bitter hateful self if rearing it’s head. I feel sorry that Cindy has been married to this man so long. I hope God takes him soon and gives the family the peace we all know they must need.

[RooRoobird20]

He was never a great man. Never.

[editor-surveyor]

John McCain was never anything but a self-serving buffoon.

My verdict on McCain is the same as his on health care reform - thumb down.

To arrogantly deny me and millions of others affordable health care cost coverage is horrid.

May he wind up with Nero and Caligula for eternity.

[BwanaNdege]

That is a piss poor showing!

He graduated, which probably was inevitable considering his father & grandfather, but evidently did well enough to be ranked ahead of several others.

Or, he may have received enough 'passes' to be ranked higher.

Disregarding McCain, do not disparage those who graduated from one of the service academies at the bottom of their respective classes.

But there is no clear relationship between Academy class rank and leadership qualities. For example, Jimmy Carter, the only Naval Academy graduate to serve as president to date, graduated 59th out of a class of 820, so draw your own conclusions. Seventeen class anchors have attained flag rank, and many low-ranking graduates have gone on to brilliant careers. This tracks with the thesis I developed in my book Last in Their Class; the bottom of the class tends to produce a different kind of leader than the top. Those who wind up at the foot are often there by choice.

("...the “Anchorman,” the lowest-ranking midshipman."

[Boardwalk]

You had me at Jimmy Carter. Point taken!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks!

McCain sized correctly when viewed through the wrong end of the most powerful German binoculars.

[Ford4000]

Don’t forget, Reagan had little tolerance for backstabbing of Republicans by Republicans. That might have had something to do with McCain’s better behavior back then.

[trebb]

Pray for his soul - it’s better for your own souls and he’s become irrelevant as far as what happens from here on out.
