McCain is a hypocrite asshole


When the arizona senior senator goes on the Sunday talking shows and wants to send troops all over the world why doesn't anyone ask him what the mission will be and what will it cost in lives and money to make it successful.

I am sick of this old asshole getting away with his usual line of bullshit without being challenged. How did that Iraq thing work out?

Certainly no serious journalists would bother to give this guy any ink or airtime.

and I was mocking the voice over with "and here to discuss is Senator John McCain" and before I could finish my rant the announced him... I gave him a few and turned him off.

Hopefully the ratings folks picked that up.

Reagan said the "Founding Fathers" thing about the CONTRAS in Nicaragua: http://www.nytimes.com/1985/03/02/politics/02REAG.html

And those guys in the photo weren't the Taliban then, they were called the Mujahideen. The Taliban didn't show up until several years after the Soviets left Afghanistan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban#Origin

never to show his face in public again, just for having dragged Sarah Palin off the tundra; we are still paying the price for MCain giving that brainless ninny enough publicity to make her think she's a pundit. And McCain still has the nerve to believe he's got a shred of credibility left.

8. You really should pity the man.

He's not as nasty as he sounds. He's just disappointed and guilty. He was shot down and held prisoner in a war his nation lost. It doesn't matter how many times people tell him he's a hero, he can only remember that it was all in a war we lost. He is an angry man, and he thinks that if he can get us into a war that we clearly win, then he will be vindicated. He's just a sad little man trying to fix what's wrong with him.
