McCain: don't be scared of Obama

[KayF]

i.e. stop listening to all that shit on the radio! Exactly the opposite of Trump, who says the radio shit is the only thing you should trust.

1. Thank you, KayF. This is how I will remember John McCain.

In that Town Hall and during the moment in Congress when he gave a thumbs down to the GOP bill to kill Obamacare.

4. He did the right thing

and in the right way, but what bothered me then and still does, is why is that considered exceptional? Any reasonable person should have responded that way, yet it is so rare these days.

That is not meant to be a diss on McCain, but on most republicans who don't have the decency to shut that kind of crap down.

5. I recall thinking that was politically stupid.

I would not be pleased if a Democrat had done that in response to someone mischaracterizing a Republican candidate. I could see him not affirming what she said and even disagreeing with it. For instance, if a Democrat said that a citizen "had nothing to fear from (such and such Republican) becoming president," I would not care for that. Now, all that said, I'm glad that McCain did say that!

6. I hope this was the real John McCain

He was such a political chameleon that I'll never be sure what his true values were.

9. Well, what he said about Obama took bravery & risk, knowing how his supporters wouldn't like it.

He was a decent person.

7. You remember that he was championing Sarah Palin as his VP?

8. I remember watching that Townhall on tv at the time.

He was brave to say that to his supporters, knowing how they felt about him. This video shows who McCain was. A decent person deserving of respect.

10. His party chose the path of the woman in red n/t

11. His Military background made him an Adult; but he was a republican and should not be Deified.
