Not hypocrites IMO. Americans have wakened to reality in a very rapid fashion over the last few years and especially over the last year. We realize how fricking naive we have been in believing there was any difference between establishment politicians of either party.

The war hero is a traitor to the ideals he is supposed to represent.

Conservative war hero? Attacked? Here? I've read the whole thread and can't see where a conservative war hero has been attacked.

The press has their freedom, and they chose to whore themselves out for Democrats and have been ridiculed for it. Is calling a whore a whore removing their freedom to communicate?

If the media prints a lie or smear, or steals debate questions, or work with a political party to craft narratives, or torpedoes someone's campaign in coordination with the DNC- the left calls this free press.

When Trump calls them out for it, he is panned for being dark and unpresidential. When Obama did this to Fox News, it was called "soaring rhetoric".

And why the hell is a senator from AZ hob knobbing all over Europe and shitting on the CIC on my dime? What kind of self respecting soldier does this?

No one is attacking freedom of the press, Nancy, but when 95% of the media cheerleads for one party over another, it should be pointed out and the people should be able to choose to ignore the obvious propaganda "news."

The post Trump media is a complete joke, but fortunately, it's so obvious that even the dumbest of voters can see it.

Man, people were licking McCain's arse and wanting to smooch Palin's when he ran against Obama, but now almost everyone in this thread hates his guts.


Not me. Before voting for Trump this past election, my last time to vote was 04. That is thanks in large part to the horrible campaign McCain ran. His campaign was an embarrassment. That clown ran for the highest office in the land and refused, absolutely refused to criticize Obama. He inspired no one to vote for him. To top it all off, he chose a gov that no one had ever heard of to be his running mate. It was nothing more than a cheap, no imagination gimmick and not rooted in any desire to win.

And a state run press is how dictatorships get started as well. Chose the lesser of two evils IMO

The DNC and MSM constantly scratching each other's backs isn't in democracy's best interest either. I'll take an admin and press constantly checking each other
