John McCain is an honorable man, who served his country with courage and dignity.  I have have some very significant and profound difference of opinion on many policy issues with the Senator.  But the utmost respect for the former POW.  The smear campaign being waged by his own party during his last days on earth is absolutely appalling.

I'm obviously not a conservative, therefore i disagree with McCain on a whole breath of issues. However, what's going on with all these Trumpers is just shameful. It's a lack of basic morality and basic decency.

McCain is a complete disgrace to the Republican party.  A low level shitbird who has screwed over a lot of military vets (both current and from the Vietnam era) with his voting and decision making.  He uses the fact that he was a POW as a crutch in life.  Not to mention he traded in his loving wife for a trophy.  Bad example all around.

McCain is the only Republican currently serving in Congress that I have any respect for at all.

McCain was great before he went senile. Now his hatred for all things Trump exposes his Bush-like Democrat feelings. He is a Republican in name only. 

I respect what he did in the past, and that is how he will be remembered, but he should have retired after losing his bid for presidency.

...shows that his head is clearer than roughly 48% of the general population.

hahahaha  ... I see that completely different.  I would immediately question myself if I aligned myself with someone who has undergone brain surgery and is dying from brain cancer.  It doesn't take a PHD to know they probably aren't functioning at their mental best. Did you see him in the congressional hearings? He has lost it.

Besides .... McCain has always appealed to Democrats and that's why he was selected to run for president at the time.  Trump is very abrasive and can be not very likable but no doubt he is serving the Republican agenda well. More so than either of the Bushes. If you call yourself a Republican and don't support those agendas then you aren't a Republican. No one took Trump's banter worse than Rubio and Ted Cruz and yet they find a way to work with him. That's how politics work.

CF...you think that Trump is a good president, so you may just have zero ability to gauge others' mental faculties.

For the record though...every time I see Trump ranting at a microphone, I think:

Hahaha  I said I think he is getting things done. There are many things about him I would rather he change and I find embarrassing. The only saving grace I have with his childish antics is it sets off people who think things like "requiring parents to ask for permission to change a baby's diaper" is normal so they can set up a culture of consent in their homes .

I see Trump as the yin to the crazy left's yang.

The President and his alt right constituency are inciting hate from one end of this country to the other, tearing the country apart...and you think that focusing on one idiot who wants to ask a baby his opinion is a righteous thing?

Let me know when you get your head straight and decide to stop being part of the problem.

Hahahaha .... most of the people hating are on the left. Even the release of hostages has turned into anti-Trump. It’s gotten so bad even many on the left just shake their heads at how irrational it’s gotten.  It’s more fashionable to belittle and or attack cops than its a to hold kids accountable in school. In fact ... outside hate for Trump and anyone who may not “hate” him ... Democrats don’t have a political message any longer.

Man, CF went off the deep end. I knew he never made much sense, but it just gets worse and worse. It's a shame part of the country is like him.

On the other hand when you are at the end of your life and you don't give a shit what anyone thinks including your own political party, you tend to look at things differently. There's a special type of clarity that comes from the reality that your dieing.

When George Will, John McCain, George Bush, Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney are all being demonized and called RINOs because they aren't in lock step with Trump it is time to conclude the GOP has jumped the shark.

I have profound differences of opinion with McCain including some of his votes on veterans issues.  But they were consistent with his overall fiscal conservative philosophy. 

He makes a ton of sense...until he starts talking politics.


Actually, most of the people on the left are still in shock that anyone would vote for a draft-dodging, narcissistic, illiterate putz, and then, when the left realizes that the right doesn't care if Trump is a draft-dodging, narcissistic, illiterate putz, as long as he isn't a democrat, then we get a little frustrated at the ignorance required to take that position.

The hate...that's the right's domain. They hate the left, they hate people of color, they hate people who don't worship the way they do. Trying to put that on the left is simply transference in its purest form.

Release is good. 

Trump boasting how he and not Obama was able to secure the release of Tony Kim and Kim Hak Song is where I turn anti-Trump.

I guess I should tell my friends that I used to visit Pulse Nightclub with that I'm a homophobe. And maybe tell my Puerto Rican nieces and nephews I'm a racist. How about my wife's deaf black cousin?  I should definitely let him know. I actually have so many relatives of color that I lost count.  One of my best friends is Muslim from Saudi Arabia as is his whole family that I grew up with. Should definitely let them know too. I'm going to be busy for a while. BTW ... how ironic is it that gays and lesbians defend a religion that doesn't not only agree with them (which is the reason the homophobic tag was given to the right) but they actually want them to die. 

The fact is name calling has lost it's effect for the exact reason I just pointed out. Trump was a buddy to minorities until he ran as a Republican. He has the awards and pics with his buddies Jesse and AL to prove it. Now he is a racist because he ran as a Republican.   In a world where democrats are condemning Trump for the same view of immigration that democrats had before him and it's become racist to only want citizens to vote .... I guess name calling is the only non hypocritical thing the left can do. As such ... no one is offended by labels any longer.

He says a lot of stupid stuff. Although I hate that too ... I would rather he do that than not be able to deliver. He is getting the things done that I voted him for. Him being a friend to the media has no bearing on that to me.

I hope Senator McCain either speedily recovers completely, or passes peacefully and without a (further) prolonged and difficult illness. I hope his family finds solace in a difficult situation.

Given that there are plenty of crazies on the far left who insist that Hillary Clinton is basically no different than a Republican, I guess it's not too surprising to see their mirror image: crazies who insist that George W. Bush is basically a Democrat.

The only thing Trump's voters ask from him is that he infuriates the libs.  As long as he continues to do that, they will be happy.

Hahaha .... there's no way it's only far right people who feel that way.

That's the same mentality that got him elected and will again. While for some that may be the only reason but for most of us that's not true at all ... but it is a bonus. Trump's tax cuts, his Supreme Court nominees, him being tough on Isis and regime's like North Korea and Iran, him taking out the mandate for health care, and his goal to curb illegal immigration resonates with many people. Just the fact he wants the citizens of American to be put first in the USA is enough to want him.  Apparently it took an asshole to push the conservative agenda and I think many of us are ok with that as we don't have to sleep with him. 

Do you enjoy carrying the cross for the entire far right? I don't think that every person on the right is a hater...just the ones raising your banner the highest.

I use to think that most on the right just had some differing opinions.  But when the supposed backers of the military are okay with Trump attacking McCain or those who claim to be consertive Christians ignore Trumps sinful behavior but make a big deal of every transgression by dems or those feel one investigation into russia meddling is a witch hunt but weren't satisfied with dozens of investigations into Bengaziti i am changing my view.

Backing the military has nothing to do with being okay with what Trump said about McCain. I don't think most Republicans are okay with that and even other Republicans tried to use that against him to no avail. Other issues are more important.

Being a Christian conservative who likes where his policies are headed has nothing to do with accepting Trump's personal issues. I think the one thing that history has shown is that most presidents have a history with women both before and during their time in office. It's actually pretty funny you and others trying to point out his issues but are ok with Clinton, Kennedy and so on. Unfortunately for conservatives Mike Huckabee  isn't going to win an election because given the chance, someone like that is who the conservative Christian would rather have. As it is you have to pick your poison. It isn't as if the Democrats are moral people who were overlooked to choose Trump.

Sorry but it seems pretty clear Trump didn't collude with Russia or they can't prove it. Add in the biases that have been exposed and it does seem pretty silly but the email scandals were just swept under the rug.

I tire of people lazily chanting that criticism of conservatives is What Got Trump Elected.  I never hear anyone - even liberals - say that criticism from the right is What Got Obama Elected twice.

For people who are supposedly for free speech, against political correctness, and anti-snowflake, you guys sure are thin-skinned any time it comes to dealing with criticism of your positions. Oh no, we'd better not say anything mean about the right, or Trump will win again!  It's no different than political correctness, just with a conservative flavor.

In other words: it doesn't matter if Trump attacks POWs (or Gold Star families) because Other Stuff is more important.

I wonder what you would say if liberals claimed that disrespecting the military was less important than, say, protesting police brutality.  I imagine Colin Kaepernick has a pretty good idea.

Conservative Christians had the opportunity to choose Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, and any number of other morally sound Republicans.  They overwhelmingly preferred the serial womanizer on his third marriage who refers to his own daughter as a "piece of ass," and brags about using his position as the head of a beauty pageant to go into the dressing room and ogle teenaged girls.

Though I must say, I am surprised by your newfound clarity on separating policy positions from a candidate's personal life.  Certainly this will be applied evenly and fairly going forward.

And to be clear, here: what we are NOT talking about is a situation where a candidate is accused of moral wrongdoing and you disbelieve the accusations.  Trumpists accept that accusations against him of immoral activity are TRUE, and they don't care.

It sounds like you still believe government employees using private e-mail accounts is a crime, or something.  Like the rest of your moral foundations, you were supposed to discard that notion when Trump took office (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/352384-six-trump-officials-used-personal-email-accounts-for-white-house).

One more thing:

Well, since I don't subscribe to an ideology that demands that I impose my sexual morals on everyone else, I don't particularly care what two consenting adults do.  So no, I don't really have an issue with Clinton getting a blowjob in the Oval Office.  JFK died before I was born, so I wasn't alive to endorse anything he did, but I probably wouldn't have cared about him sleeping around either.

In contrast, you and yours claim to care very much about these issues, and criticized Bill Clinton endlessly for his affair... yet you happily support Trump even after cheating on his wife with a porn star, to say nothing of being caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women.

I don't think Obama was just randomly attacked. In general, the right had to be careful as if you disagreed with anything you were called a racist. If you are talking about the far right extremists then you are speaking of a minority that make up the whole group.

I'd have to ask for examples because I never saw marches from the right because they got their feelings hurt.

This is an old tired argument. Police brutality is pretty minimal except in the minds of money makers of the black community. It's just another in the whole long line of liberal brainwashing. It doesn't equate to one weekend in a city like Chicago, let alone over the whole country. Try spending a 10th of that same energy in the black community that is killing itself and raising kids without fathers who will grow up to kill other blacks. the Democrats have the black community so brainwashed that they have them sending money to organizations like Planned Parenthood which was started to kill blacks.

Conservative Christians did vote for them .. and they lost to Trump. It's really nice that you believe in stereotyping but the whole Republican party isn't conservative Christian. In fact ... I know many Republicans that are atheists and even some Christians who are Democrat. Go figure.

I voted for Clinton twice and said the same thing then. I though the Lewinsky thing was overblown and was a matter between Hilary and Bill.

LOL ... Just because liberals deny the evils of their candidate does not make them wholesome.

If that's true then they should be disciplined as well. I think National Security should be first and foremost. We get hacked enough without making it easier for our enemies.

Jesus Christ, are you guys still arguing about Trump? He won, it's over, get over it, you got another 6 years to go, LMFAO.

Yes, that would be me you're referring to. Although I'm not a Republican, nor an atheist. I would identify with a conservative. As far as, does God exist? I don't give a fuck either way. If he does exist, fuck him in the ass with a big purple dildo. Yes I'm talking to you God! Not really, but it's fun to pretend...

Кто-то выиграл, но это была не Америка

(Somebody won, but it wasn't America)

So dramatic, just like a little schoolgirl. You gonna cry now?

Any Clinton loss is a big win for America.

Ahhhh, that one struck a nerve, eh comrade?

Struck a nerve? How so?

Because you immediately went to the 3rd grade "are you gonna cry" response...and I usually expect at least a 6th grade response from you. Thus, nerve struck...

Sure, if you say so. Anyhow, your president appreciates your support and thanks you for helping him in all of his success since he WON, LMAO...

This thread has obviously run its course
