Seems like there were quite a few McCain supporters here not too long ago.

Huh? I'm here all the time, and I've never seen them.

WTH ever happened to the NE corner of this country where this whole thing started?

Answer is it didn't really start there, not first settlers and not the beginnings of the Revolutionary War. Those were both in the South. Had to have a different national mythos after the Civil War, and so history was revised.

First thing comes to mind when McCain is mentioned...he loved to start wars everywhere.

I remember the hopelessness that came over after McCain secured the nomination.

I also remember reading earlier that year in 2008 that Sarah Palin was a contender for VP. I thought "They would NEVER be that smart".

Turns out they were devilish. Have McCain lose to Ubama, Ubama becomes president, pin the loss on the biggest rising Conservative star that has been proven a major threat to both establishments.

Like I have said, John McCain was Emmanuel Goldstein. A manufactured opponent.

The problem is the Uniparty threw Thomas Jefferson (Sarah) in there with him and next thing you know the Prols are revolting.

I also think part of the motivation to bring Palin on board was to drive away the Hillary voters who were still upset with Obama over the Nomination. As it turned out, Hillary supporters still went overwhelmingly for Obama.

If you are a Republican, why would you give a crap about McCain? He backstabbed, undermined, and contradicted everything a standard Republican would stand for. He sought approval from those who hated republicanism. McCain is the guy who eagerly volunteers to do the bidding of the invading Martian force. He did many things. He didn’t stand up for me.

Trump is everything politically that {we don't say his name} *pretended* to be.

Who honors veterans?

Who worked with John F'ing Kerry to make sure POWs / MIAs rotted beyond hope in SEA?

Pointless column.
I’m not confused at all.
