(17,656 posts)The entire rest of the country was coming together to celebrate Martin Luther King's contributions to this country, but not McCain.
He fought against it to the bitter end in Arizona.

(50,254 posts)after crashing TWO planes in training(that never happens at Navy flight school). In fact, I kind of wonder if he really got shot down, or just crashed AGAIN.
(on edit)
Correction...THREE planes in training.

(26 posts)To tow the line in the RW party they would be against MLK and equal rights. When they say they are against political correctness - they're always attacking where political correctness is used - with minorities and discrimination.

(10,893 posts)he poisoned his daughter Meghan's mind like that. I know she's also a Republican and interested in the fiscal issues, but I'm not sure if she's as regressive-minded as her father.

(23,156 posts)I recall very clearly that it was common knowledge that he moved his residence from the rather lower income part of the city, to a much more upscale part while he was still a representative because he was planning to run for Senate.
Scum.

(32,086 posts)I have been hearing about what a scumbag he is for 20 years. I often wonder if his POW experience is the only reason people have been giving him a pass all these years, because he has more skeletons in his closet than Halloween store. But, then I realize there are an awful lot of people there who think just like he does.

(23,156 posts)And there's a lot out there saying he cooperated with his captors and was treated relatively well by him, and that he was not tortured as he claims to have been. I have no idea of the actual truth of those statements.
But it is true that he abandoned his first wife and took up with his current one while still married. Charmingly enough, they both lied to each other about their ages on their first date. So he is not exactly a man of unsullied integrity.
