i offer the following:
I respect mccain's military service and admire his bravery as a prisoner in hanoi. I know that accounts and opinions vary on the goings on then, but i am comfortable with what i understand to be the facts; that is his bravery under torture and devotion to our country.
He was a terrible senator. I have said for years that his goal was to get a great eulogy in the editorial of the NYTimes.
He was weak. He thought we could make friends with our enemies by being nice to them. Understanding them. Reaching across the aisle and doing the work of the american people.
Naive or worse, and dangerous.
The media have always loved him. He's a maverick. That is, he's a lib with an R. He is a useful idiot, a stooge and the pet of the socialists.
For context, when has the media EVER called a democrat a maverick and praised them for reaching across the aisle and doing the work of the american people? No, those people like black conservatives are traitors to the cause.
But like white idiots in BLM are useful idiots, so was johnny mccain to the socialist party. He needed to be loved by the media. He was screwed by the media, but that is not the same thing. He was used by the media but there is no love there either.
There can be no love without respect. And mccain was the monkey and the socialist were the organ grinder.
As proof of this, the media who he thought loved him, treated him as just another slut to be abused and disposed of when he ran for president. At that point he was an R, not a maverick. And he was running against a black man so he must be a racist.
Recall the animosity directed at him as a candidate for president. The media and the socialists loved him again after he lost...because he could be useful to them again.
They REALLY love him now. He hated trump. Trump hated him. That makes johnny useful to the media and the socialists, whose overarching goal is to nullify the 2016 election. That is done by driving down trump's approval ratings and his perception to the uninformed, the idiots and the socialists. They will sing mccain's praises to the heavens. Those who excoriated his racism in 2008 will now laud his statesmanship and his principles.
Because it hurts trump. They think.
The louder and longer they laud mccain, the more they think it shines a light on what a bad man trump is, to have an enemy in such a fine statesman as john mccain.
Seriously, a week of half staff flags?
Seriously, lying in state in the rotunda?
Seriously, i await them naming a street near the capital; Mccain Way. Anyone who is against it is against bipartisanship, against our military,
AGAINST AMERICA.
The socialists and the media are not praising mccain for mccain's sake. They are doing it to degrade trump.
It will continue for as long as they think it helps.
Then mccain becomes as he was in 2008, as cindy sheehan became and as david hogg will become. Just another spent round of ammunition fired at an enemy of socialism.
