| Look what you helped do to the country. |
For the first time since 1984, Arizona Sen. John McCain won’t be speaking at the Republican National Convention, according to reports.
That's because he won't be there, according to the Hill. A former GOP presidential candidate, sitting senator and go-to guy for the talking-heads news shows?
You have to wonder: Is it Donald Trump or McCain’s Democratic challenger Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick who has Arizona’s one-time maverick senator running scared?
McCain told the Hill he’d be focusing on his race against Kirkpatrick – and he’d better. Polls show them in a dead heat.
There’s also the Aug. 30 GOP primary, when Arizona mastodons who feel McCain is insufficiently conservative will try to replace him.
Apparently the McCain is just one of the many vulnerable Republicans being warned to stay away from the convention.
Kind of ironic isn't it? Here is a man who was once considered essentially bullet proof now running scared because the woman that he plucked out of the wilds of Wasilla has helped to usher in the utter destruction of his political party.
Let's face it, if there were never a Sarah Palin, Donald Trump would not now be leading in the fight for the GOP nomination.
How is THAT for a legacy?
Anyone know when the last time was that he appeared on MTP? He used to be a staple.
ReplyDeleteHe was on Face the Nation until his old buddy Schieffer retired.
DeleteNo show McCain,no appearance at the RNC! Chicken shit.
ReplyDeleteYep, Johnnie boy, forget the statesman, POW war hero stuff. This WILL be your legacy.
ReplyDeletePerfect pic caption, Gryph!
His father, an admiral, bought him his commission and kept him in the Naval academy when he should have flunked out and been disciplined for the accident that was covered up. He didn't like his wife because she was pretty after being in an accident so he dumped her for Cyndi. Cyndi bought him his senator position and pays his huge gambling debts. He is a huge risk taker that has never had to face repercussion. Cyndi is no peach either.
DeleteWhy are people with power, opportunity, or money such shits?
Karma, baby!
ReplyDeleteOr the Palin curse still working its magic!!
Senator McCain doesn't need the Palin curse. He is doing just fine on his own. He's been a mafia style snake for years and years, affluent kid with family that set him up and got him out of his crimes.
DeleteIn an honest election, I believe he would loose his current bid for Senator. I question it will be honest. He may 'win'.
MARINE TO JOHN MCCAIN: I WOULD HAVE YOU ARRESTED FOR TREASON
“I want him in handcuffs,” Santilli told the Arizona Republic. “He needs to be held for his account.”

Foreign Government Involvement in 9/11 Shouldn’t Stay Secret. Congressman Thomas Massie described the 28 pages as “shocking” and said, “I had to stop every couple pages and…try to rearrange my understanding of history. It challenges you to rethink everything.”
My husband was in VN. McCain was a traitor; ask anyone at the Hanoi Hilton.
DeleteMcCain made a deal with Viet Nam on behalf of his wife's company Bud. They could sell bud if they dropped pursuit of POWs/MIAs.
DeleteMcCain should not have been a pilot and was responsible for flight deck incident.
There are other things. During 2008, he called his wife a c__t because she affectionally touched his hair. I heard he was involved in a deadly car crash around naval academy.
For once and for all the word LOSE, as in, I hope I never lose my wallet is spelled LOSE not spelled LOOSE, which means my dog's collar is too loose. C'mon now.
DeleteSometimes typing comments self corrects thereby producing wrong word choicest.
DeleteA nonprofit with ties to Senator John McCain received a $1 million donation from the government of Saudi Arabia in 2014, according to documents filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
ReplyDeleteThe Arizona Republican has strictly honorary roles with the McCain Institute for International Leadership, a program at Arizona State University, and its fundraising arm, the McCain Institute Foundation, according to his office. But McCain has appeared at fundraising events for the institute and his Senate campaign’s fundraiser is listed in its tax returns as the contact person for the foundation.
Forget John McCain for a moment. How appropriate is it for so-called “institutions of higher learning” to be accepting million dollars contributions from an absolute monarchy where women can’t drive and with obvious ties to 9/11?

Jeb Bush: “I Don’t Know What the 28 Pages Are”
https://28pages.org/tag/2016/
Sarah Palin would be in the “I Don’t Know What the 28 Pages Are” league.
Can she even count to 28?
DeleteWhatever happens. Let's not have to read those 28 pages. We need to keep our friends.
DeleteMade public, the missing pages of the 9/11 Report could dampen U.S.-Saudi relations.
http://fpif.org/lets-review-saudi-arabia-not-friend/
the infamous 28 pages.... Called a “void in the history of 9/11” by the New Yorker, they deal with Saudi support for the 9/11 hijackers, most of whom were Saudis.
Lumpy little Johnny is as corrupt as they come. I hope the woman running against him beats his flabby little arse. He has made his fortune at taxpayer expens. Gets a paycheck and healthcare while lining his pockets with donations like this. The Keating Five scanal should have ended with him in prison.
ReplyDeleteI thought McCain wasn't going to run for re-election any more. I'm surprised he's running and more surprised he's tied. I thought for sure any opponent would have a strong lead over him.
DeleteI find it hard to believe even Republicans in Arizona would vote for his old wrinkled sorry ass.
There's a fairness in that.
ReplyDeleteDuring the 2008 run, wonkette had a picture of McCain next to George Bush - maybe on an airplane - with Bush's around around McCain's shoulder, and John looking like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world. During that convention, Bush appeared only briefly on a screen, but not in person. Nobody wanted him around in '12 either.
That's because with each passing year Bush's legacy slips further and further down the crapper.
DeleteRepublicans tried to shore him up as one of the "great" Republican presidents but you can't muzzle the truth. He sucked as president and as time has passed the degree to which he was downright horrible has been exposed further and further. Fewer and fewer yes men are willing to cover up or spew the company line to shore up his lousy administration.
History will portray him for what he was. Inept, embarrassing, incompetent and the role others played in him stealing not one but two elections. And the consequences of such.
It doesn't help that he was succeeded by one of the best presidents this country has seen. I'm sure what really burns the Republicans cookies is not that Obama is a Democrat or that he is Black but that he is such a good president and role model that in comparison he makes little Georgie look even worse.
Yep, with each passing year Obama's legacy will shine brighter and George's will sink further into the excrement.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
As for McCain, he will be remembered as the lecherous potty mouth that unleashed Sarah Palin on this country without proper vetting and never apologized to the American people for it.
McCain is ultimately responsible for the t'baggers and all the other right wing neo nazi fundamentalist nut jobs that slithered out of the darkness attracted to those naughty monkeys. His VP pick legitimized racism, bigotry and "Stupid Pride" in this country. Let the history books reflect his legacy too. If they mention him at all.
It was all McCain's to lose. And then he chose Sara.
ReplyDeleteI remember the reaction to her in the DC area after her first pit bull lipstick and anti-media speech. It was a shock to see such viciousness come out of her innocent looking mouth. And then using Trig and her children as both shield and weapon.
I wonder if other countries will allow us to immigrate if Trump becomes president.
It wasn't McCain's to lose at that point. His campaign wasn't doing well, and nominating the Serpent's Heart was a Hail Mary pass that didn't work.
DeleteAmerica will survive a Trump presidency just fine, I can't believe all the hysteria and people threatening to move and be immigrants in another country because of Trump being elected.
DeleteDo you really want to go to another country and be an immigrant, just because of who is President? Think about it for a second, and I think you'll realize that is crazy talk. A lot of people are piling onto boats and drowning in the Mediterranean because they don't agree with their leadership, do you want to be like them or just be a proud American and tough it out?
He won't become president. Hillary's got this.
DeleteMcCain and palin knew they were in like flint. America has never elected an African-American president before, and the won't now.
DeleteBaby, they were dreaming of all the things they were going to do once he was elected: Boogers coming from noses from the bust of famous people, Vaseline on WH door handles, sliding on just waxed floors in the WH, giant slip-n-slide on the front lawn, basketball court out and shooting range in, truck hitches all over the place,
And their egos would be off the chart.
No telling how many more babies bustol would had had.
Game of Life:
DeleteYou make a great point, but you always tend to miss the "big picture".
America did weather a half-black president. There was dissension in both our Congress and in the public but we made it through that. He was good, he did some things that were important.
We will, I maintain, do okay under Trump. He's going to fix a lot of what is wrong in America right now and clean this place up and create a stronger America because he's going to require that Americans actually BE Americans before just settling down here and squatting on American soil.
It's an important point, and one that many miss.
Please do go, the less liberal ninnies the better.
DeleteTrump scares me because he is threatening if attacked. I do not trust the people who surround him.
DeletePeople really are not doing as well as portrayed by the media. People are just ashamed to admit it to others. Trump's bait is that he will personally bring in prosperity.
No. Trump will do what is best for trump not us.
DeleteHe can't win a general election, you fucking morons.
DeleteHe will always be known for his selection of the peawitted ninny. No prominent war hero legacy for him.
ReplyDeleteLatest fb post by Palin...hawking tickets to film that debunks Global Warming...
Deletehttps://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/
During his POW time he became a stool pigeon and ratted out the US. That's his legacy also.
DeleteOld senile McCain is up there with the top ten most corrupt criminals ever to reign in Washington DC.
DeleteHow was he a war hero? He crashed several pricey fighter planes, and was captured because he disobeyed flight orders. He got special treatment as a prisoner as well.
DeleteHe was a shit head to his first wife. He married a mafia princess and dirty money got him into politics. There is nothing about any part of his life or career that has anything to do will honor. The last thing he is is a hero.
DeleteCalling the planned fiasco “Operation Detain McCain” — mostly because the last two words rhyme — the alleged “grassroots movement” plans to send homeless veterans to occupy Sen. John McCain’s Phoenix office until he ends homelessness among vets and also answers for his crimes or something. This is not related to that one Oath Keepers guy who wants McCain executed for treason; despite the “Detain McCain” moniker, there doesn’t actually appear to be a plan to arrest the senator, but all those vets camping out in his office should slow him down some should he try to get to the coffeemaker, so same thing.

I wish Palin had an office for her coffeemaker and camp outs.
Who is not disappointed in John McCain?
ReplyDeleteWe will be at the Homeless Veterans Camp at 660 West Camelback Road Phoenix, Arizona.

ReplyDeletethanks, gryph
ReplyDeletemz kirkpatrick's campaign just received a contribution because of your mention.
it's the least i could do. ;)
No one is immune to Palin's toxicity.
ReplyDeleteOld guy, come on tell us about your vetted vp.
ReplyDeleteDo tell, Senator - not that white-washed fiction that your campaign was peddling from Culvahouse And Associates ("high-risk, high reward"). The real "vetting" - the meet-and-greet in Sedona, just before the convention in Minneapolis. When the two of them went for a walk in the woods for two hours. The whispering pines know!
DeleteIt is funny her buddies, McCain, Trump and Cruz are ditching her and are staying far, far, away...
ReplyDeleteAdd to that, Greta, Hannity, and the Duck Dynasty.
DeleteNow Sarah is posting on her FB that a one day, two hour movie about climate change will be appearing at several places. Are they rooms or theaters? Yes, she is still say Nye is the Science Guy. She is not in the movie, I don't think, but will be at one of the showings to discuss it with her scientific experience. So much for that big venue for her.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.climatehustlemovie.com
DeleteHere is the list of theaters where it will be showing on May 2nd. I doubt that Palin will even show up in Anchorage to promote it. She barely shows her face up here, and I really doubt that many will attend this movie in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Did she thank the birthday boy for all the consulting work he did?
DeleteDeclassify the 9/11 Pages
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely perpetrated by a group of towel heads, but which ones?
DeleteDeclassify the Trig Palin Pages. What did McCain know and when did he know it?
Delete(eyeroll) 2:37.....
Deletepssst... McCain doesn't give two shits about the Palin-Trig conspiracy. It is doubtful he even remembers the kids name.
Towel heads... so sophisticated!
Delete3:10 PM
DeleteAbsolutely he is too senile to remember anything. He has things set up to cover his ass. Legacy ass and all.
These old Palin-Trig conspiracy photos say it all.

...definitely perpetrated by a group, but which ones?
DeleteIf the powers that be don't want us to know, we will never know.
http://media.salon.com/2014/12/clinton_bush.jpg
I think even McCain himself realizes that this will be the last election he will participate in. He will be elected once again but will probably have to step down or die in office.
ReplyDeleteI hope Ted Cruz figures out a way to get Sarah invited to the convention to speak and John McCain develops a bleeding ulcer after watching her on TV.
ReplyDeleteHe's never gotten payback for springing her madness on the country. He's due. Way overdue.
This is too good . . . I have to share it.
ReplyDeleteOver on the Democratic Underground site is a comment about the report that Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill in 2030. Something about wondering how a racist will feel when his ATM will only give him Tubmans!!!
Then, there's this comment:

But I hope I'm still around in 2030 with a sufficient number of my marbles left to enjoy watching racists hoard their Andy Jackson twenties like Sarah Palin with an incandescent light bulb.

Andrew Jackson was horrible. Should have bee gone long ago.

I took a YouGov poll today, asked me to pick the worst Presidential Candidate of all time. Gave me a list including the usual suspects, winners and losers, W was there, as was his father. Romney, Nixon, and a spot for filling in my own. I could have listed Jackson, or one of the Johnsons. Or Roosevelts.
ReplyDeleteI picked this asshole.
Why don't you retire you old reprobate and go live of your wife's fortune? Just sit in a corner and drool in the beer she gives you. You must be as dumb as bag of rocks to pick that dim witted twit like that.
ReplyDeleteMcCain could be the hero just by spilling the secrets about Palin.
ReplyDeleteMcCain's wife just as bad as Palin. She had a charity that hurt many people.
DeleteCindy got off all her crimes and thrashed the people that cared about the children she stole the drugs from.
DeleteMcCain had the DEA leave Cindy alone. The opposite of what he did for Alaska with Sherry Johnston. Palin needed for the Johnstons to go down so she had more control over the situation.
Now Mccain is like Reagan and can't remember what he doesn't want to remember.
He is a criminal just the same.
Could this be the reason why Donald Trump is boycotting the RNC?
ReplyDelete“He’s not a war hero,” said Trump. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
McCain doesn't want to see Trump nominated?
Several GOP Senators--'at least 4'--who are facing tough re-election fights are passing on the convention.

Hillary will beat trump but it will be ugly.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't be too hard, the Trumpeter is already UGLY !!
DeleteSo, does this show he's against Trump for his "hostages who get captured" comment? Or that he has a shred of shame over unleashing the beast? I think it's more about Trump. If McCain was a real man, he'd begin each sentence with "Sorry I picked poorly for VP candidate, I was thinking with the wrong head, please forgive me"
ReplyDeleteIf Trump would promise to:
ReplyDelete1. Bring McCain up on charges,
2. Force Sarah Palin to produce Trig's birth certificate,
3. Force both of them to apologize to Americans for that shitty hoax they tried to put over on us,
4. Put Sarah and Todd on trial for all the criminal activities they have profited from,
then...I would vote for him.
+++++++++++++
DeleteI wonder if palin is doing all of the car and boat shows this year?
ReplyDeleteMcCain is just the scapeboat. The GOP had to approve Palin as the VP nominee. But the GOP has no loyalty and he will be thrown under the bus in a way.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Schadenfreude.
But he could just out her in all her craziness and say he was forced to allow a certifiable lunatic to be on the ticket and, had they won, been a heartbeat away from the presidency.
That is one scary thought. STILL.
