Say It Ain’t So, Joe

It has been reported that the president will pick his new FBI director.
Rumor is he will tap Joe Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman?
JOE FREAKIN’ LIEBERMAN?
He has to pick a fossilized old former democrat-turned-independent-stiff?
This is the best man for the job?
He backed McCain over the Magic Negro in 2008.
He switched party affiliation from democrat to independent, even though he caucused with the dems. He could get away with this because, like many politicos who spend decades in DC, their reelection is almost automatic. The democrats dislike him, the GOP elite love him.
I will always maintain THERE ARE NO MODERATE DEMOCRATS!
That was proven with the Obamacare votes. They all just come with different price tags.
I do not regret voting for Trump, he’s done some good things. But there are a lot of things he does that are simply head scratching. He is who he is and that will never change.

Trump ‘very close’ to picking new FBI chief, leaning toward Lieberman
Lieberman would be an unusual pick for the job — past FBI chiefs have either worked at the bureau or served as a federal judge or prosecutor. He was attorney general of Connecticut before being elected to the Senate in 1988.
The former Democratic vice presidential nominee currently works at the law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres in New York – the same firm as Trump’s attorney Marc Kasowitz.

Senate Democrats say ‘hell no’ to Trump’s choice of Joe Lieberman for FBI Director
According to Politico, if Trump thought that Lieberman would be a choice welcomed by Democrats, he got it squarely wrong. Lieberman is not popular among his former Senate colleagues. From a series of policy defections on key issues to Lieberman’s decision to run as an independent in Connecticut after he lost the Democratic primary to challenger Ned Lamont in 2006, the former senator made many enemies among his own caucus.
Furthermore, critics of Trump’s decision stress that the role of FBI director should be filled by someone who isn’t a politician. Lieberman was Al Gore’s vice presidential running mate in 2000 and ran for president himself in 2004.

McCain To Democrats Criticizing Lieberman Over FBI Position: He Has More Experience Than All My Dem Colleagues, So Screw Them
In 2008, there were rumors circulating that Lieberman could be picked as McCain’s running mate. McCain reportedly wanted to make that happen. It didn’t, though Lieberman did address the Republican National Convention that year. He also endorsed McCain for president, which caused his Democratic colleagues, with whom he caucused with, some heartburn.

3 Republican Senators reject repeal of Obama’s draconian methane emission rules

CAN YOU GUESS WITHOUT LOOKING? I BET YOU CAN.

President Trump has scored significant successes undoing the toxic eco-activist legacy of his predecessor, including the executive orders moving the signing of Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines forward.
However, it seems that he cannot rely on certain establishment Republicans to continue his efforts. Before reading this piece further, pause for a moment and ask yourself which 3 GOP Senators would, when given a chance to vote to repeal Obama’s drilling rules, would just say “NO”.

If you guessed John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Susan Collins, you would be correct.

Wisconsin Democrats still blaming voter ID laws for Clinton’s loss

The subject of “Why did Hillary lose” has become the 21st century replacement for Why Can’t Johnny Read, and there will likely be even more books written about it before this issue ever settles into the dustbin of history. Everyone seems to have their own convenient version of the story, but at least some liberals in Wisconsin have settled on a favorite old stalking horse… voter ID laws.

http://hotair.com/archives/2017/05/10/wisconsin-democrats-still-blaming-voter-id-laws-clintons-loss/

Wisconsin voter ID law proved insurmountable for many votersBut it is not hard to find the dying woman whose license had expired or the recent graduate whose student ID was deficient — or Harris, who at 66 made her way to her polling place despite chronic lung disease and a torn ligament in her knee.
She had lost her driver’s license just before Election Day. Aware of the new law, she brought her Social Security and Medicare cards as well as a county-issued bus pass that displayed her photo. Not good enough. She was turned away.

Betsy DeVos Booed While Giving Commencement Address at Historically Black University

Half the graduating class turned their backs on DeVos, requiring the university president to intervene. Many students and alumni had objected to having DeVos as speaker in part because they said the outreach by President Trump and the education secretary to historically black schools is an empty gesture. But the president of the university defended her work as a philanthropist and her commitment to education.

NBC’s Lester Holt Interrupts Trump 9 Times in 3 Minutes – Gave Obama a Cake Walk Interview in January
But back in January of this year Lester Holt gave President Obama a cake walk interview.  Holt was nothing but agreeable with the former president who left office with the worst economic and foreign policy record in US history.

NBCNews.com on Thursday posted a two minute and 34 second preview clip of anchor Lester Holt’s exclusive sit-down with President Donald Trump. The clip features Holt conducting an interrogation-like interview in which the NBC personality interrupted Trump nine times and spoke over the president on many of those occasions.

Enraged Californians rebel against Gov. Brown’s massive tax hike on cars and gasWHEN YOU CAN’T GET A HANDOUT FROM THE FEDS, GET IT FROM THE HARD-WORKING PEOPLE. CUTTING SPENDING IS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION.

In the two weeks since the Democrat signed Senate Bill 1, opponents have launched an initiative drive to repeal the $52.4 billion transportation package as well as a recall campaign to eject a vulnerable Democratic state senator who is seen as the deciding vote for the law.

“The voters are enraged,” said Assemblyman Travis Allen, the Orange County Republican behind the repeal initiative, which is pegged to the November 2018 ballot.

Gas is already expensive in California — the state vies with Hawaii for the nation’s highest per-gallon prices — and SB1 will make it more so by dinging motorists with a 12-cent-per-gallon excise tax hike on gasoline, a 20-cent increase on diesel and higher vehicle registration fees in order to fill potholes, repair roads and bridges, and expand mass transit.

Steve Schmidt: McCain, Graham, Sasse Might Want “Democratic Congress To Protect National Security”

John McCain 2008 campaign staffer & MSNBC “GOP strategist” Steve Schmidt said that Republicans who support President Trump have become “faithless to their oaths” and suggested some members of the GOP like Senators Lindsey Graham, Ben Sasse, Richard Burr, and John McCain might be forced to support the Democrats in 2018 on grounds of “national security.”

NYPD cops forbidden from breaking up noisy parties
A new NYPD directive forbids cops from entering a residence in response to a noise complaint — unless they’re given permission.

The bizarre constraint is the result of costly, successful lawsuits against the city by homeowners who complained that cops barged onto their properties without a warrant, multiple sources told The Post.

“Parties will go into early morning, which will involve more drinking and neighbors getting into fights, resulting in more shootings,” noted another law enforcement source.

“It will be a long, hot summer.”

Democrat Refers to Middle America as ‘Podunk, USA’

HEY, DEMOCRATS… THIS ATTITUDE IS WHAT COST YOU THE ELECTION
Remarks by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D., Calif.) during a closed-door Energy and Commerce Committee meeting with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai raised eyebrows from those present.

The moment occurred when Eshoo pushed back against Pai when he was discussing expanding broadband access to rural areas.

Donald Trump fired FBI director James Comey in a letter that read: ‘You are hereby terminated and removed from office immediately’
Comey found out on live TV screens in Los Angeles that he was being fired but thought it was a joke until he was briefed by his staff
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote formal memo saying they had no confidence in him
Trump used letter dismissing Comey to say: ‘I greatly appreciate you informing me, in three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation’
Democrats piled on by comparing Trump to Richard Nixon who fired top justice officials in the Saturday Night Massacre but Clinton aide said: ‘No comment.’
New acting FBI director is Andrew McCabe – and he too is caught in the toxic impact of Clinton as his politician wife got cash from a Hillary ally

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4489966/Trump-accuses-Chuck-Schumer-hypocrisy-defends-firing-Comey.html#ixzz4gg9h0YwO

This puts Hillary in a quandary; she’s pissed and moaned for 6 months about Comey costing her her rightful destiny. Now that Trump has fired him she has to defend him. This, of course, smacks of rank hypocrisy but we’ve come to expect nothing less from one of the richest criminal enterprises in the course of this nation.

Comey’s Temporary Replacement Has Strong Ties To A Clinton Ally
MCCABE IS CLOSELY TIED TO TERRY McAULIFFE, VIRGINIA GOVERNOR, AND THE MOST VICIOUS PUNK IN AMERICA
McCabe was previously the deputy FBI director and following President Trump’s dismissal of James Comey, he will be in charge of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency. The White House said Tuesday that the search for a new FBI director will begin immediately.

Until the administration finds this director, a man strongly connected to the Democratic Party will be in charge. The Democratic Virginia governor’s PAC donated $467,500 to McCabe’s wife Jill McCabe’s 2015 state Senate campaign. The Virginia Democratic Party also spent a little over $200,000 on the campaign.

The now-acting FBI director’s wife lost the campaign to the Republican incumbent. After the Wall Street Journal reported these findings, then-candidate Trump said, “We’ve never had a thing like this in the history of this country.”

10 Major FBI Scandals on Comey’s Watch

The FBI interviewed almost every terrorist who successfully struck America
Comey will inevitably be remembered for the controversial role he played in the 2016 presidential election, where his agency conducted surveillance of the Trump campaign as well as investigated the Clinton camp for mishandling classified materials, giving both sides arguments for how the FBI ultimately swayed the vote.

But even before the 2016 campaign, the FBI endured a number of humiliations under Comey’s tenure. Most damning were revelations that the FBI was generally aware of almost every terrorist who successfully struck America over the last eight years.

The democrats have used Comey as their scapegoat for the chaos in their party,saying his investigating,dropping,then resuming the search of Hillary’s e-mails is what cost them the White house.Now they must pivot to claim he was fired because he was about to indict somebody in the Trump-Russia election tampering case.Anybody with a functional brain knows this never happened,which leaves out the democrat electorate.They just swallow the liberal horseshit whole.

Liberals are predictably having the vapors over the dismissal of a man who had no business being there in the first place.
The dems’ best friend, Juan McAmnesty, sided with them, along with Linda Graham who claims everyone was aware of the Russian collusion.

Democrats Go WILD! Conspiracies, Condemnation, and Vitriol Over Comey Firing

Third, McCain noted that Montenegro is under assault by the Russians and accused Paul of “working for Vladimir Putin.”

Fourth, Paul said, “He makes a really, really strong case for term limits.”

John McCain: Media’s Useful Idiot

They like him; they really like him. At least, that’s what he’s convinced himself of in his own delusional mind. Recall when he was defeated by George W. Bush for the Republican nomination in 2000 and had to wait his turn in 2008. At that time he famously stated that the media was his voting base. It never once dawned on him that the only reason they tolerated having him around was to bash his own party, especially for W., which they held in bitter contempt after the Democrats tried unsuccessfully to steal the Florida vote, hence the presidency.

McCain has never met a media ass he wouldn’t kiss or an ally he wouldn’t betray. I did a piece about him on this blog a few months ago. In case you’ve forgotten, he was Russ Feingold’s co-conspirator on the infamous legislation to “get money out of politics.” Even though the problem was politicians who could be swayed by the filthy euchre. Including the self-serving, sanctimonious prick himself:

John McCain and the Keating Five Scandal

Just what is the Keating Five scandal?

Senator John McCain was one of five senators accused of corruption in 1989 in the Savings and Loan (S&L) crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The other four senators were Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI). The crisis was the failure of 747 S&Ls in the United States costing an estimated $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

These five senators were accused of improperly intervening before the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) in 1987 on behalf of Charles Keating, chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was a target of a regulatory investigation by the FHLBB. The FHLBB subsequently backed off taking action against Lincoln. By failing to take action, Lincoln was able to operate for two more years until its collapse in 1989, at a cost of $2 billion to the federal government. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings.

John McCain Slams Administration as in ‘Disarray’ at Munich Security Conference
WHY THE HELL DOES HE PRESUME TO SPEAK FOR AMERICA?

Sen. John McCain wasted no time at the Munich Security Conference in Germany on Friday as he portrayed the Trump administration as being in a state of “disarray,” in contrast to the message of reassurance from administration officials.

John McCain Becomes Critic in Chief of the Trump Administration
“In many respects, this administration is in disarray, and they’ve got a lot of work to do,” he said.

A day later, in an interview for “Meet the Press,” Mr. McCain challenged Mr. Trump’s contention that the news media is “the enemy of the American people.”

“The first thing that dictators do is shut down the press,” he said, adding that while he was not calling the president a dictator, “we need to learn the lessons of history.”

YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DICTATORS, DICKHEAD; YOU JERKED ONE OFF FOR EIGHT LONG YEARS

John McCain’s “dictator” talk ignores reality and his own past with the media
Arizona Senator John McCain is a very popular figure with the mainstream media. (I bet that’s a sentence you never thought you’d read.) The latest reason for this newly emerging love affair between the press and the decorated war hero is his response to the speech given by President Trump during his rally in Florida yesterday. Following the brief but raucous event, McCain was ushered out to give the media his own take on the speech, during which he invoked the image of a “dictator” when discussing the president’s critique of political journalism. (CNN)

“I hate the press,” the Arizona Republican sarcastically told NBC News’ Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.” “I hate you especially. But the fact is we need you. We need a free press. We must have it. It’s vital.”

McCain: Trump’s Attacks on Press Are ‘How Dictators Get Started’

TAPPER AND McSTAIN WERE BLOWING KISSES AT EACH OTHER

Rand Paul: We’re “Very Lucky” Trump Is in Charge and Not McCain

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted fellow Republican and anti-Trump Senator John McCain (R-AZ) this morning on ABC’s “This Week.”

Paul said that McCain’s recent criticisms of Trump are driven by his “personal dispute” with the president over foreign policy.

He added that McCain and Trump are at odds because McCain supports the wide deployment of U.S. troops to protect and promote American interests abroad while he characterized Trump’s views as closer to a realpolitik approach to foreign policy.

Where was McCain when Obama attacked the free press?
“That’s how dictators are made!” he shrieked. It was rich stuff, given that most of his European listeners do not have the same wide press freedoms found in the states. But more to the point, it was McCain up to his old tricks: Ingratiating himself to the anti-Trump press by playing its champion, in a bid to be the media’s darling.

What stands out here is the hypocrisy of his claims. He’s suddenly concerned about press freedoms and dictators?
Where was McCain when President Obama was systematically violating press freedoms every which way to Tuesday?

Seven examples of Obama’s attacks on a free press spring to mind and not one of them drew any significant criticism from McCain.

McCain has ‘more hope than belief’ that GOP can investigate Trump White House

McCain, R-Ariz., was asked if he was confident the GOP majority in Congress was able to thoroughly look into the relationship between members of the White House and Russia.

“I hope so. And I have to believe so,” he said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired on Sunday. “More hope than belief.”
And I think the rollout of the, quote, ‘immigration reform’ was an example of a need for an orderly decision-making process in the White House. And that, I think, is probably what’s plaguing them more than anything else right now,” McCain said.

RINO John McCain says TWO WORDS about Trump, has conservatives laughing
As for understanding the issues, again I think that McCain seriously underestimates Trump and has read him completely wrong. What’s more, I think a lot of John McCain’s hot air is his attempt to stay relevant and be in the limelight.

The strains in the European Union over Brexit and refugees are strains of their own making. Trump puts America first and frankly, I don’t give a rat’s ass if that upsets them. And I’ll say it again, the Cold War never ended, it shifted. These bozos just don’t get it and it is very, very dangerous. The executive order on refugees could have been rolled out better, but the substance of that order was constitutional and something that is necessary for the survival of this country. McCain needs to stop dissing the President and start looking for how he can help improve things.

SORRY FOR THE RANT. I JUST GET SO TIRED OF THIS WORLD CLASS POMPOUS ASS BEING HANDED AN OUTLET EVERY TIME HE WANTS TO EMBARRASS HIS OWN PARTY AND PRESIDENT. HE HAD HIS CHANCE. HE GAVE IT AWAY TO LOOK “GENTLEMANLY.” FUCK HIM.

AS USUAL, THERE’S A BUNCH OF USELESS CRAP I POSTED IN THE COMMENT SECTION… JUST TO SATE MY OVERINFLATED EGO

The Media Collect Their First Scalp – UPDATED

CLICK ON THE TITLE.  THERE’S LOTS MORE CONTENT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION!

The trouble with the Trump Administration is that they’re bad liars and even worse at covering it up. The democrats have it down to a science. None of them ever pays a price for the lying, the bribes, the corruption, and the double dealing. When they must, they yawn and moan: ‘I take full responsibility.’ Which means the press drops the issue and it’s back to business as usual. That in no way excuses Gen. Flynn lying to Vice President Pence about communicating with Russia and putting the VP in an awkward position. He resigned today, being a man of honor and wanting to bring no more shame on the Commander-in-Chief.

Make no mistake, he was sabotaged by leaks to the press from inside the intelligence community. These are career operatives always looking out for #1. Their leaks to the media are reminiscent of the infamous “Deep Throat,” who made liberal icons of Woodward and Bernstein. Their brethren in leftist hackdom are lusting after a scalp of their own.

ADDED BY CTH:  February 14, 2017 — Multiple sources in and out of the White House report that the leaks that led to the abrupt resignation Monday evening of White House national security adviser Michael Flynn were the culmination of a secret, months-long campaign by former Obama administration confidantes to discredit Flynn, an opponent of the Iran nuclear deal, handicap President Donald Trump’s national security apparatus, and preserve the nuclear deal with Iran.

National Security Advisor Michael Flynn Resigns
Turns out he did discuss sanctions against Russia with the Russian ambassador.
In the course of my duties as the incoming National Security Advisor, I held numerous phone calls with foreign counterparts, ministers, and ambassadors. These calls were to facilitate a smooth transition and begin to build the necessary relationships between the President, his advisors and foreign leaders. Such calls are standard practice in any transition of this magnitude.

General Flynn Is An American Patriot, But The CIA Finally Took Him Down
The CIA and the liberals must be so proud of themselves today, as General Flynn resigned from President Trump’s Team. He will no longer be there to protect the American people with his honesty and to advise President Trump, as he is going to need it. This is just the beginning of the attacks on Trump’s Team.
The left is attacking Gen Michael Flynn over unproven allegations that he discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador before President Trump took office. The media and the Left is going to use leaks from the Obama administration hold-overs to smear every one of Trump’s staffers and confidants.

McCain says Flynn resignation shows ‘dysfunction’ at the White House
JUST LIKE THE JACKALS WHO FEED ON THE DEAD, SO DOES JUAN McSTAIN SHOW UP TO BASK IN THE MEDIA SPOTLIGHT
“At the same time, General Flynn’s resignation is a troubling indication of the dysfunction of the current national security apparatus,” the Arizona Republican said.

CIA broke the law to take out its critic General Flynn
Senator Chuck Schumer, of all people, laid out on January 2 what was going to happen to the Trump administration if it dared take on the deep state – the permanent bureaucracy that has contempt for the will of the voters and feels entitled to run the government for its own benefit.

CNN’s Henderson: Some Might View Flynn Resignation as the Press Having Scored Points Against the WH

“You imagine that some people might be looking at this as some sort of reset — to get this story off the radar, to get this story off the front pages, like The Washington Post and The New York Times,” she said. “And others might be looking at it as the press having scored some points against this White House. And we know this is a White House that has an ongoing feud with many different outlets.

Trump, GOP lawmakers eye ‘illegal’ leaks in wake of Flynn resignation
The president, after accepting Flynn’s resignation overnight, tweeted Tuesday morning that, “The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington?”
Flynn echoed that point. Asked Tuesday morning whether the leaks were targeted, coordinated and possibly a violation of the law, Flynn told Fox News: “Yes, yes and yes.”

National Security Council’s Keith Kellogg tapped to succeed Michael Flynn; David Petraeus floated as permanent replacement
Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg served as the National Security Council chief of staff under Flynn and was tasked with overhauling the Defense Department under President Trump’s transition team.

John Q. McCain and Assholeciates

The “Q” stands for quisling (one of CtH’s favorite words).

This duplicitous turd has, for almost 50 years, lived on his ‘war hero’ status. As a U.S. senator and Washington insider, he’s gotten fat and very, very rich. He has long delighted in criticizing his own party to curry favor with his Democrat buddies, get invited on Sunday talk shows and the most trés, trés cocktail parties on the circuit. Just as sure as night follows day, he and his loyal, if largely effeminate sidekick, the whiny little Lindsey Graham, will defy the president just to get some attention.

19 Republicans criticize Trump’s immigration ban

So far, at least 19 Republicans have announced opposition to or questioned Trump’s executive order banning travelers and refugees from 7 countries from entering the U.S.

HERE’S HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED: THEY OPPOSE HIM UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S HAVING AN IMPACT AND THE VOTERS APPROVE. THEY’LL CLIMB BACK ON THE BANDWAGON AND PRETEND THEY SUPPORTED IT ALL ALONG.  CHECK THE LIST. IT’S ALL THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

Trump accuses McCain and Graham of trying ‘to start World War III’ after they release joint statement calling his immigration ban ‘a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism.’

[CtH: Where were they when Obama banned Iraqi refugees?]

Trump signed an executive order barring any non-U.S. citizen traveling from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen from entering US for 90 days. Protests broke out, and the ACLU won a legal battle halting deportations on Saturday.

Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham issued a joint statement. In it, they attacked Trump for punishing innocent people and failing to properly vet the policy, saying his ‘haste’ led to widespread confusion.

[CtH: No, their refusal to inform the public of the actual terms of the eo and the fake newsy coverage by the MSM has led to widespread confusion.]

They also pointed out ban could have the opposite effect on homeland security
‘This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country,’ they said.

[CtH: Or, they could be making statements reassuring everyone that America is not banning Muslims, but only trying to shore up our vetting process to protect our citizenry from terrorists.  But then, that might interfere with the money George Soros slips into their back pockets.  Or maybe it’s the blackmail folders the Democrats have on them that makes them behave like traitors.]

Trump denied accusations of religious discrimination and lashed out on Twitter. The president fell back on his usual tactic against critics and suggested they focus their energies elsewhere ‘instead of always looking to start World War III’.

I’VE HAD THIS STORED FOR AWHILE.  THIS WILL TELL YOU WHO ‘WAR HERO’ JOHN McCAIN REALLY IS. YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW THE WHOLE SORDID STORY.

The REAL John McCain – Bully, Traitor, Liar, Adulterer and Warmongering Criminal by Roland C. Eyears [February 28, 2008]

It is now clear that what is left of the Republicon Party, after being fatally poisoned by the Bush administration, intents to commit suicide by nominating Senator John McCain (R-Hanoi) for the presidency. Where do I start?

Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is scant chance he would have been admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy. Given his behavior patterns and academics, had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is little doubt he would have been thrown out. Instead, in 1958 he managed to graduate 894 out of 899. Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is no chance he would have been accepted into the prestigious naval flight training program over far better qualified officers. On his way to becoming a North Vietnamese ace, the aviator lost 3 expensive aircraft on routine, non-combat flights. Little was made of all that, because he was, you know, the son and grandson of admirals.

McCain’s 5½-year stay at the Hanoi Hilton (officially Hoa Loa Prison) has ever since been the subject of great controversy. He maintains that he was tortured and otherwise badly mistreated. One of many who disagree is Dennis Johnson, imprisoned at Hanoi and never given treatment for his broken leg. He reports that every time he saw McCain, who was generally kept segregated, the man was clean-shaven, dressed in fresh clothes, and appeared comfortable among North Vietnamese Army officers. He adds that he frequently heard McCain’s collaborative statements broadcast over the prison’s loud speakers.

On October 26, 1967, McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down over Hanoi. The fractures of 1 leg and both arms were reportedly due to his failure to tuck them in during ejection.

COME ON UP. HERE’S A CHECK.

Teaming again with Teddy Kennedy, at al, the senator from Hanoi sponsored an amnesty bill for illegal aliens. A top aide, Juan Hernandez previously held a cabinet level position with ex-president of Mexico Vincente Fox. This dual citizen is on record as favoring “Mexico First.” McCain supports open borders.

Personalities aside, I’m not certain how much difference it makes. McCain has essentially endorsed Hillary. According to him, “She has integrity,” and “I have no doubt that she would be a good president.” He likes, really likes the woman, and says, “I think she’s a very good person.” Meanwhile, Barack Hussein Obama’s policies differ not one whit from Hillary’s. So that’s a popularity contest.

About John McCain

We all know him.War hero,married to a fabulously wealthy beer heiress,going into his 30th year as a US senator.A favorite on the Sunday talk show circuit,owing to his zeal in stabbing his fellow republicans in the back.his career has been based solely on the years he spent as a POW during the VietNam war.He lost a close primary to George W. Bush in 2000,which put him next in line for a presidential run based on the GOPe hierarchy.We will never know how he would have fared against a previously unknown mulatto from Illinois who had never worked for anything in his life.He seemed more concerned with looking gentlemanly and barely said a negative thing about a community organizer who was plainly the most radical person ever to run for the office.
But unless you’ve been a political junkie for a lot of years you may not be aware of how completely corrupt and willing he is to throw anybody under the bus to save his cushy job.After bowing down and handing the presidency to the Magic Negro he ran for his next term against a talk show host,J.D.Hayworth and spent more than $4 million viciously attacking him.NOBODY! can get his seat from him.He has the money,the power and the party backing to be an incumbent as long as he wishes.
THE KEATING FIVE
McCain: The Most Reprehensible of the Keating Five
You’re John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker.


Obviously, Keating thought you could make it to the White House, too.
He poured $112,000 into your political campaigns. He became your friend. He threw fund raisers in your honor. He even made a sweet shopping-center investment deal for your wife, Cindy. Your father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was cut in on the deal, too.
Nothing was too good for you. Why not? Keating saw you as a prime investment that would pay off in the future.
DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR????
Since Keating’s collapse, you find yourself doing obscene things to save yourself from the Senate Ethics Committee’s investigation. As a matter of course, you engage in backbiting behavior that will turn you into an outcast in the Senate if you do survive.
When the reporters fail to print your tips quickly enough–as in the case of your tip on Michigan Senator Donald Riegle–you call them back and remind them how important it is to get that information in the newspapers.
Those who survive will be the sociopaths who can tell a lie with the most sincere, straight face. You are especially adept at this.
On Sunday, Senators Dennis DeConcini, Alan Cranston, and Riegle refused offers to appear on the Brinkley show. What must we make of that?
There you sat with Glenn, both sweating before the cameras, waiting to answer questions: two badly tarnished American icons.

No one forgets that Glenn was the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth. You won’t let anyone forget that you were a prisoner of war. But you have played that tune too long. By now your constant reminders about your war record make you seem like a modern version of Arthur Miller’s tragic failure Willy Loman.

Clearly, both you and Glenn sold your fame for Charles Keating’s money.
Just keep telling everyone that it was your wife’s money invested in that shopping center with Keating and that you knew nothing about it.
You sought out a master criminal like Keating and became his friend. Now you’ve discarded him. It shouldn’t be surprising that you are now in the process of selling out your senatorial accomplices.

You’re John McCain, clearly the guiltiest, most culpable and reprehensible of the Keating Five. But you know the power of television and you realize this is the only way you can possibly save your political career.
THIS MAN IS EVERY BIT A CORRUPT LIAR AS HIS FRIENDS THE DEMOCRATS.
