911 was allowed to occurr on purpose by the Bush regime. I would even bet they facilitated it. There is no doubt they covered up what happened. Why would John McCain gush over Bush after despising him for the horrible tactics of his campaign and unkind things said afterwards? And why had McCain completely lost his independent streak? Anyone here think that leverage was gained on him from NSA monitoring of his private life? Whistleblower Russ Tice said that's what his job was in 2005.

This dottering example of advancing dementia belongs ANYWHERE but in the Senate. I don't care WHAT sort of "hero" he was in Nam - he's a dolt all these decades later as a legislator. Just IMAGINE this rube and Palin in the number one and two slots! Global warming would truly be inconsequential because we'd be in the throes of a nuclear winter at this point.

John, please excuse yourself from your job (like your VP pick did!) and go spend your final days trying to figure out how many homes you have and just where they're at.

He's ALWAYS on TV saying stupid shit that can be debunked in two seconds, but the media is too busy fawning over him like a teenage girl at a Justin Bieber concert.

for going into Iraq in the first place. While no one likes Sadaam he would never let the seeds of terrorism take hold now we pay for the neocon lies.

He has milked an entirely mediocre military career, which he never would have had if not for daddy & grandaddy, turning it into an entirely mediocre political career. I don't give a rat's ass that he was a POW. He was disobeying orders at the time he was shot down & received preferential treatment when the Vietcong realized who they had. He accepted early release, yet criticized Bergdahl's release, which is beyond despicable and hypocritical. He has conned reporters & the public alike & if you dig one inch below his "maverick" facade, you'll see those contrary votes were the result of a petty vendetta or perceived slight. He put the country in real danger when he chose the Wasilla Grifter in 2008. Deep down he knows he's not worth shit, and his ego can't handle it. I despise him more than just about any other politician because he is such a liar. I didn't even mention his despicable behavior towards women. "Country First", my ass. It's always been & always will be "McCain First".

Apparently the Senator equates crashing some of the aircraft he flew with "victory." The man is completely bonkers!
Iraq is gone, returning to its ethnic, religious and tribal roots; that is, the status before the "west" partitioned it off in the
late 19th/early 20th century, with zero understanding of what the hell they were doing. Shooting itself (Europe...)
in the foot.
Truly a massively dumbass move.
