In reply to the discussion: How do you think Sarah Palin is reacting to the news she's in McCain's regret column? [View all]vi5
(13,305 posts)5. Oh brother.....is it all starting now?
I know McCain is dying, and while he doesn't rise to the level of someone who I will gravedance for (unlike Scalia, Brietbart, and a few others), I"m also not going to be willing to rewrite history to play into this completely false notion of him being some kind of "maverick" or independent thinker. He's been a party line Republican for at least 95% of the votes he's cast.
He's repeatedly sold out his dignity and self respect by supporting and backing and providing cover for cowardly men who have denigrated him (both Bush and Trump).
I'll feel bad for him and his family, but let's not also make him out to be something he wasn't.

OP
The town hall meetings prior to this had gotten progressively bolder and uglier. She made it worse.

Actually, he might have been a genius choice -- even though Lieberman is terrible

She's busy smacking the bottom of her PAC tip jar, hoping more change drops out.
