John McCain was the single greatest political leader of our time when he was one of many candidate for the republican nomination in 2008. Once he was nominated, of course, he was a nasty, mean-spirited, hateful warmonger. Now that it’s politically expedient for the accepted narrative against today’s nasty, mean-spirited, hateful warmonger, John McCain is again the single greatest political leader of our time.

The media have been compulsive liars for decades. #FakeNews is not new; only the label is new.

Torture worked on JM. The UCMJ (or other regulations) requires that a POW give only his name, rank and Id #. He gave more than that per the articles. Confessing to non crimes gives enemy propaganda value. Don’t know if he gave up useful intel. His “claim to fame” is that he refused parole and stayed with his men in captivity until the end. Very honorable and deserving of recognition. Been through SERE training. Not going to be a hero, would not likely been able to handle the real deal.

I must have missed the part of the article where Dana
Milbank endorsed McCain over Obama in the 2008
campaign.

To receive simple, unadulterated TRUTH from these people would be like receiving fresh, pure, uncontaminated water in the midst of a desolate, barren desert.

The most detestable thing about the Left and its propaganda machine, viz. the "news media," is their contempt for TRUTH, simple, pure TRUTH, TRUTH for its own sake.

Funny! The journ-O-lists did not think he was preezy material back in 08. They had their collective heads in the a$$ of the sham-wow artist- who they turned into the idol they worshiped.

McCain easily makes my top 5 Despicable American Politicians list and no military service can negate the destruction he has caused our nation. It’s disappointing that apologists choose to ignore what they see in favor of what the media prints.

The voice of the American people decided he was less of a leader than both George W Bush and Barack Hussein Obama, in 2000 and 2008.

‘John McCain is the single greatest political leader of our time’

Imagine Obama reading this headline. And he obviously did; if there’s one paper he reads, it would be WaPo.

He was Hitler in 2008, but now........
HE HATES TRUMP! OUR HERO!


Bullseye. They luv McCain when he is a “maverick” poking other Rs in the eye (especially an R president). But when he was running, they demonized him as racist and unstable.

You’d think McCain would have learned from that. But no. He is more than happy to be their tool till the end, selling his Party down the river for puff pieces in the WAPO.

If he was any kind of political leader he would resign rather than stay in Arizona unable to go to Washington and vote.
