Do you see Democrats’ celebration of the late John McCain as convenient anti-Trump hypocrisy, or is it sincere?
I believe it is Guilt with a capital “G”. The Democrats, if they had been so inclined would have seen that John McCain was a “gift” to America, and those who were so vicious to him should have instead rallied around him to unite our country during the 2008 Election cycle. Yeah I know the Democrats had to have their own candidate because that is how the game is played. But to take a basically unqualified first term senator whose claim to fame was “community Organizer” and then to launch a filthy campaign against McCain by shaming anyone who didn’t vote for their candidate by labeling them racist was just too much.America wanted to feel good about themselves and to prove to the world that they, without bias, could and would dump their “favorite son, their hero” to elect a black man, no matter how little experience he had. His blackness was the most important qualification OBama possessed.I am not predudiced so let me say it loud and clear. I would have voted for and would have welcomed a black candidate with the right experience. I actually had hoped that Colin Powell would have vied for the job back in his coherent days. Do not answer or comment to my answer with any racist comments. I am not a racist. I further believe that George Bush was unqualified to be president. I base this on his lack of economic experience and his eagerness to wage senseless wars. But I’ll say it again ; we (Americans) lost an opportunity to have a great man as our president because we were “color blind”. The campaign was about “blackness” and in that category, McCain just couldn’t compete. After it was all over the 8 year disaster began. America owed McCain and we didn’t deliver. We paid for our “reverse” prejudice. Yes, when John McCain died it was Guilt that we gushed. Shame on us .
Is Trump right that there was electoral corruption in Arizona?
The answer is that anyone who believes a word that comes out of Trump’s mouth needs psychiatric help.It really doesn’t take more than two brain cells to know that vote counting is overseen by dozens of election officials from both parties. No votes magically turned up - all mail-ins and provisional votes are already in storage from before and through election day.Every single election that Republicans lose comes with accusation of fraud. Fraud has been investigated over and over again. In the last study of over 1 billion aggregated votes, there were found to be exactly 31 maliciously cast votes.If there was some grand plan to defraud - as is accused year after year - why has no one ever demonstrated that actual fraud took place? I mean, high priced legal teams fight it out every time - and nothing!Could it be because there isn’t any?
Are there any Americans living safely in Mexico near the Arizona border?
One hour south of the border lies Puert Penasco aka Rocky Point. It is four hour from Phoenix or Tucson. It is about one third american and canadian expats. Many are part timers who also live in Arizona. It ranges from beach front mansions, houses and condos to modest homes away from the water for under $100,000. I go down there several times each year. I have several friends who live there. I have never felt any threat or danger besides reckless drivers (mostly americans in a hurry). Everone I know who has been there often considers it as safe as Arizona, or safer. YMMV.
Have you considered that John McCain may have "Stockholm Syndrome" and will psychologically revert in a crises?
Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological condition where a victim becomes emotionally attached to his adversary and converts to that adversarial point of view. McCain was horribly abused as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese and may have survived by submission to his captors. Later, as a war hero, he is elected as Senator from Arizona and has a reputation as a "maverick". So, we now get to obamacare and the Republican repeal of it. The Republican Senate has twice prepared a bill, and it appears that McCain will be the negative vote to kill each of them. So, the question is why? Do you think that it is simply because he has an overwhelming dislike for Trump, and the reason for that dislike is that Trump is a flamboyantly mom-and-apple-pie pro-American patriot. It causes McCain to react with the Stockholm Syndrome psychosis? So, if it is important and McCain has to make a critical decision, he will fold and go with the other side to avoid the pressure of doing what would otherwise be considered the right thing to do.
Why is McCain calling for more regulation when he called himself the greatest deregulator alive?
Because he's a hypocrite. Reform is good, unless you are looking at the stuff McCain-Palin have done, then it's off limits: http://www.bofads.blogspot.com/2008/09/p...
Why did John McCain dump his wife after she was crippled in a car accident?
Does that sound like "Character" and "Family Values" to you? ------------------ Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam and is now a leading campaigner for veterans’ rights, said: ‘I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit. ‘When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it. ‘Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better. ‘This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html
What is John McCain's Keating Five Problem ?
He was a part of the scandal and was reprimanded by Congress for it.
Why did John McCaine leave his sick wife and mother of his children for a younger woman?
She first knew John McCain while he was attending the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis from 1954 to 1958. She then married one of his classmates; she and her husband had two children, Douglas (born 1959) and Andrew (born 1962).They subsequently divorced. Five feet eight inches in height, Shepp was a successful swimwear model in Philadelphia. Shepp met McCain again when he was stationed at the Naval Air Basic Training Command at Pensacola, Florida in 1964, and they began dating. On July 3, 1965, Shepp married McCain in Philadelphia.The following year, John McCain adopted her two children.The McCains then had a daughter named Sidney in September 1966. Carol McCain would later say: "The breakup of our marriage was not caused by my accident or Vietnam or any of those things. I don't know that it might not have happened if John had never been gone. I attribute it more to John turning 40 and wanting to be 25 again than I do to anything else." http://www.flickr.com/photos/milkyr_chobi/2565429647/ Doug McCain has been a pilot with American Airlines since 1990. He currently flies as a First Officer on the Boeing 777 out of JFK International Airport. Prior to American Airlines, he flew the A6-E Intruder in The United States Navy. Andrew McCain is Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Hensley & Company in Arizona. John McCain gave Carol a settlement that included alimony, child support, houses in Virginia and Florida, and lifelong financial support for her ongoing medical treatments resulting from the 1969 automobile accident.
Why do you think John McCain’s VP running mate, Sarah Palin, was not invited to his funeral? Did they have a falling out after they ran together?
Why wasn’t Sarah Palin invited to McCain’s funeral?Because Palin represents THE REAL JOHN MCCAIN.McCain did want to choose a scum like Lieberman, a longtime political Judas figure who did more to defeat Al Gore with his weary sanctimony than the passive-aggressive Clintons did pretending not to exist; but yes, the RNC advised against Lieberman, too strongly for McCain to oppose.Feeling thwarted McCain acted out willfully and wildly against the RNC, choosing Palin without any vetting beyond ensuring the person who showed up on his doorstep was as a matter of fact the Republican Governor of Alaska.Not many people know that Palin governed Alaska more like a democratic populist, having raised taxes on oil related operations in Alaska and disbursed those increases directly to individual citizens rather than filter them to minority groups through government as Democrats do or filter them to corporations through government as Republicans do.It isn’t out of the question that the sight of Palin brought back memories of McCain’s younger days and so removed more IQ points than McCain had to spare. To spite the RNC for blocking Lieberman, McCain chose Palin, someone they couldn’t block without dividing the party even more than McCain himself did.McCain is about 95% legend and 5% real person. The real person inside the legend was a spiteful fuck who never accepted responsibility for anything if he could get out of it. Even his POW refusal to accept favorable treatment was standard procedure; McCain could have been court-martialed had he taken the NV offer to go home out of turn. Further, McCain was a leading bad actor in the Keating scandal, not a trailing figure. McCain gulled the other senators into selling favors, but he claimed - while crying like a baby in a closed door senate hearing - that he was too stupid to know how that sort of thing worked, after which his wife’s money paid for the PR that made it stick.Not inviting Palin removes any possibility of cameras playing on her during the memorials and commentator observations drifting into an area less than morbidly saccharine grandiose praise. Without Palin in the simpering crowd the event is sanitized; one truth about McCain’s judgment is off the table, and a separate truth about his character is off the table, at least in the form of the living, breathing Sara Palin.
