RIP John McCain

[parkerbink]

I don't think that comparing Trump to McCain is an apples to apples comparison, which I think is actually at the root of what Parker is saying. McCain was a public servant for most of his life, regardless of whether you liked his stances (or his flying ability for those that brought that up) or not, his dedication to public life has to be recognized. Trump, with the exception of his time currently as the President, has never served the public. So to compare McCain's 60+ years of service to Trumps <2 years is a bit disingenuous.

However, I'm not going to wholly discount the point that gwb is trying to make either, that liberals are only now more than willing to hold McCain in high esteem because he's dead and it makes liberals seem compassionate and sympathetic. When McCain was still alive and prior to brain cancer, he was demonized by the left for any number of reasons, so to act as though he was a perfect politician in their eyes now is also a bit disingenuous.

I was voting for McCain until Palin in 2008. I am not a liberal, I am a person that is able to see what is going on for what it is and make objective decisions not based on tribal bullshit but actual data.

I never said McCaine was perfect, nor have I said Republicans are the antichrist. I live in Arizona so I see what McCain has done. He was a good man that (I believe) did his best to do the right thing. Trump is a bad man that does what is best for Trump.

Had there been a reasonable Republican candidate (Kasich) in the last election, I'd have voted for him, KASICH!

Oh bullshit Parker. Like you’d show the same for Trump.
You’re a progressive hack

High praise indeed coming from a clueless person such as you.

Trump is the anthesis of heroic.

Not a thing to do with left or right. It's about common decency.

You are the baby. He voted against something you wanted and now you are whining about it? Or (more likely) you have no clue why you hate him, just Trump does so the weak of mind do too.

At least you are predictable.

God you sound like a baby. Guess what, not everyone likes all politicians. I think it's odd that the left is praising the guy so much

Thanks. It's a simple thing. Offer respects or stfu.

But no. People have to hate.

well, Sanders is a socialist that would in fact ruin the American economy.

Look up the definition of fact, it doesn't include trying to predict the future.

[parkerbink]

look at all the P&R jockeys coming out of their sub-forum haha

nice guys.

Another RIP thread where someone interjects their opinion at the worst possible time.

Seems to be the norm these days. Everything is an extreme, there is no middle ground, and you have vilify anything which you disagree with. Trump is a Nazi despite never killing anyone, Sanders is a socialist who would have America spiral into an economic disaster like Venezuela, and death of the opposition is met with joy.

Fuck people.
