Enough with the slanderous attacks. @SenJohnMcCain and all our veterans - particularly POWs have earned our respect and admiration.
— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) July 18, 2015
So as you can see Jebbie is livid that "The Donald" would suggest that John McCain should not be considered a hero because he was a POW during the Vietnam War.And that should be admirable.
Except for the fact that Jebbie sent this letter to the men calling into question the heroism that earned John Kerry's a Silver Star during the same war.
Did I get that right?

I only skimmed the posting, other than the usual cheap shot at the left, it doesn't sound like it was written by Sarah.
DeleteCue up "Torn between two lovers", Sarah didn't write that, She couldn't finesse a "I like them both" but it's the dang libruls and lamestream media... blah blah blah.
DeleteShe's kissing both asses with equal enthusiasm, So now it's ok to dis her patriotic son? And real vets because she pals around with Trump???
Hand over your flag bling and shoes, you just sank to a new low.
Did Jeb come out swinging when his brother's campaign accused Senator McCain of having an illegitimate black baby in 2000?

DeleteThe Trashing of John McCain
Deletehttp://www.vanityfair.com/news/2004/11/mccain200411
Bush Waged Nasty Smear Campaign Against McCain in 2000
Bush Supporters Called McCain “The Fag Candidate.” In South Carolina, Bush supporters circulated church fliers that labeled McCain “the fag candidate.” Columnist Frank Rich noted that the fliers were distributed “even as Bush subtly reinforced that message by indicating he wouldn’t hire openly gay people for his administration.”
McCain Slurs Included Illegitimate Children, Homosexuality And A Drug-Addict Wife.
Among the rumors circulated against McCain in 2000 in South Carolina was that his adopted Bangladeshi daughter was actually black, that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict.”
Bush Campaign Used Code Words to Question McCain’s Temper.
“A smear campaign of the ugliest sort is now coursing through the contest for the presidency in 2000. Using the code word "temper," a group of Senate Republicans, and at least some outriders of the George W. Bush campaign, are spreading the word that John McCain is unstable. The subtext, also suggested in this whispering campaign, is that he returned from 5 1/2 years as a POW in North Vietnam with a loose screw. And it is bruited about that he shouldn't be entrusted with nuclear weapons.”
Bush Supporters Questioned McCain’s Sanity.
“Some of George W. Bush's supporters have questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain's fitness for the White House, suggesting that his five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam drove him insane at the time.”
Bush Supporters Spread Racist Rumors About McCain’s Daughter.
Bush supporters in South Carolina made race-baiting phone calls saying that McCain had a “black child.” The McCains’ daughter, Bridget, was adopted from Mother Teresa’s orphanage in Bangladesh. In August 2000, columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that the McCains “are still seething about Bush supporters in South Carolina spreading word of their dark-skinned adopted daughter.”
Rove Suggests Former POW McCain Committed Treason and Fathered Child With Black Prostitute.
In 2000, McCain operatives in SC accused Rove of spreading rumors against McCain, such as “suggestions that McCain had committed treason while a prisoner of war, and had fathered a child by a black prostitute,” according to the New Yorker.
http://www.bartcopnation.com/dc/dcboard.php?forum=8&topic_id=522&az=show_topic
And McCain hired the same people when he ran with Palin. Bridgett got tossed under the bus because he wanted to win at any cost.
DeleteI hope Jebnie's letter gets spread far and wide. What was done to Kerry was despicable. That the GOP are all standing up for McCain is hypocritical. All veterans deserve our respect. Especially from those that "we're doing other things" when they COULD have served.
ReplyDeleteI am sick of reading/hearing about the war hero McCain.
ReplyDeleteWhen will we start mentioning the other Americans who were capture and held prisoner?
John McCain WAS NOT the only American POW held captive. McCain and his apologist, the republicans and what passes for media continuing to parrot the "HE was a POW hero" .
Officially, 661 recognized American POWs were returned. ALL of them endured sickness, starvation, and torture.
What really did McCain do to make him a war hero? What about the hundreds of other Americans who were captured and held prisoner by North Vietnam? What were they, reality show contestants on the McCain show?
Why aren’t the 661 returned POWs ever mentioned? Why are they not touted as war heroes? Not a word from the hacks and w****s in the media? It is as if these people never existed.
Why have these POWs been ignored and disrespected? Why have their families been ignored and disrespected?
What if your father, husband, brother, uncle had been held captive, tortured, starved, maimed for life, only to return to be ignored and disrespected and be confined down the memory hole?
Personally, I despise John McCain for his voting against every major bill that would have benefited both the veterans and active duty personnel.
P.S. Google how Senator McCain treated the family members of those MIA when they were seeking to find out if their husbands, sons, brothers, uncles and friends might still be alive in NV as was reported.
I agree 100%, it also bothers me that since Iraq war we have this constant theme of thanking the troops like these veterans did so much more than any vets from previous wars.
DeleteIf little Johnny was such a herom WHY are his military records sealed? What is hidden in them? If his father and grandfather had not been high ranking naval officers, the little prick would have been court martialed for his behaviour. He should pay back taxpayers for the 5 military jets he destroyed.
DeletePeople, US and other tabloids are featuring Barstool with her new baby bump.
ReplyDeleteBristol must have been complaining to the tabloids, they've been ignoring all her stupid attention-seeking selfies so far.

DeleteHiIlarious, now she is a medical assistant!!!
DeleteBaby's first selfie! Pregnant with her second child, Bristol Palin is all about documenting her 2015 milestones on Instagram. Last week, the Wasilla, Alaska, native got to celebrate two major moments: Six years at her job, and her first baby bump selfie.
On July 13, Palin, 24, took a selfie in the dermatology office where she works as a medical assistant, showing off a hint of her still tiny baby bump. Wearing a white blouse and a long coat, Palin pouted her lips in the mirror photo. (Look closely: Her iPhone case features a photo of son Tripp, 6!)

What a bunch of nonsense! I'd hardly call that a baby bump. Obviously the grifter's daughter can't stand the non-attention so she's sucking up to the tabloids, as usual. Damn, she is so her mother's daughter, isn't she. Pumping out babies and that's pretty much it for her.

ReplyDelete$arah is catching hell on fb for defending trump & McCain...ja ja ja!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's not much else Jeb can say or talk about these days, McCain is the only safe subject.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise he might be overheard saying something sane... and boom! there goes his candidacy.
Exactly. No one in the Republican party was outraged when John Kerry was swift-boated. No, they went along with it and they all joined in the lies.
ReplyDeleteThe R's are getting exactly what they deserve in Trump. They created the atmosphere in which a fellow like Trump can thrive. And of course, Trump is playing the media like a finely tuned violin.
It all started last week when McCain called out Trump for bringing out the crazies (I guess McCain wasn't around when people were yelling to kill Obama at the Palin rallies, eh?).
However, as a veteran, I find it disturbing that anyone makes light of someone's service to their country.
Wait for it.... Sarah Palin has weighed in. Evidently Trump and McCain are both heroes and all of this is the fault of the liberals.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cnn.com/2015/07/20/politics/john-mccain-donald-trump-sarah-palin-hero/
And I have to add that Sarah sent an email to CNN. She sent an email because she is too chicken and too afraid of being interviewed by anyone when she isn't given the questions beforehand.
DeleteSame old Sarah.................
The strangest line to me is the one that says we should respect our "ethical" veterans and military personnel. What the hell does that mean? Does she want to exempt Kerry from respect because he isn't "ethical"? And this comes from the ignoramus who doesn't have an ethical bone in her hideously bony body.
DeleteWho cares what that old hag says or thinks, she can't even find her daughters newest baby daddy and now poor Cletus the Fetus is fatherless in that planned abstinence pregnancy.

Finally the GOP is getting a taste of their own medicine and after they start whining, they want an apology.
ReplyDeleteThey don't have a problem disrespecting Pres. Obama, they were happy to smear John Kerry, but how dare you say anything bad about a republican.
I think it is about time the tables are turned and I hope Trump keeps it up. Wonder if McCain also sent a letter congratulating the swift-boaters?

Poll Finds That If Trump Runs As An Independent, Democrats Will Win In A Landslide
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/2015/07/20/poll-finds-trump-runs-independent-democrats-win-landslide.html
Karl Rove/GWBush relentlessly attacked/questioned John McCain's service during the primaries when they were both seeking the GOP endorsement for POTUS. Bush also started whisper campaign about McCain's adopted daughter.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans chose different path when John Kerry's war record was questioned
ReplyDeletehttp://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/21/republicans-chose-different-path-when-john-kerrys-war-record-was-questioned
I will never forgive or forget John McCain never speaking up when Kerry was swift boated. McCain sat by and never stood up for a fellow veteran. Everyone knows that Roce was behind the smear of Kerry's service because of legitimate questions were being brought up about W's service-or lack of. Hate McCain. He's phony, opportunistic, egocentric and I cannot stand the man. But let me tell you how I really feel!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. I remember they had their undies in knots because he married Teresa Heinz, an heiress. And those swiftboat surfing ads were despicable. But Jen Exclamation Point had no problem when his brother sold the world a bill of good and started two wars. And all those "working vacations" at the ranch in Crawford......
ReplyDeleteThis is the real reason the GOP is worried about The Donald:
ReplyDeletePoll Finds That If Trump Runs As An Independent, Democrats Will Win In A Landslide
The new ABC News/Washington Post poll found that if Donald Trump follows through on his threats to run as an Independent, he will be handing the White House to the Democratic nominee.
According to ABC News:
In a general election trial heat, Clinton leads Bush, the GOP fundraising leader, by a slight 50-44 percent among registered voters. But with Trump as an independent candidate that goes to 46-30-20 percent, Clinton-Bush-Trump – with Trump drawing support disproportionately from Bush, turning a 6-point Clinton advantage into 16 points.
Trump’s support in this three-way matchup was 21 percent from Thursday to Saturday, vs. 13 percent in Sunday interviews.
Donald Trump support did drop in the national poll after he attacked John McCain, but a Trump third-party candidacy could set up a reply of the 1992 presidential election. 2016 could feature a Clinton, a Bush, and a crazy rich guy running as an Independent.
The Republican Party will already begin 2016 in a big Electoral College hole. Statistically speaking, the GOP will already require a dramatic shift in the electorate to win the White House. A Trump third-party candidacy of modest popularity would make the election unwinnable for the Republican nominee.
Donald Trump is not a serious threat to win the Republican nomination, but if he stays in the upper tier of candidates through the early primaries, Trump and his ego could launch an independent bid for the White House.
Some Republicans already believe that Trump is a Democratic plant that has been sent to destroy their party, but Republicans created Trump as a political entity, and it would only be right if he ended up costing them any chance of taking back the White House.
http://www.politicususa.com/2015/07/20/poll-finds-trump-runs-independent-democrats-win-landslide.html
I wonder what would happen if, say, Clinton and Walker both won their primaries, and Trump and Sanders both ran as Independents?
