Then we would never have had that shite-stain Obama as president.

But they're nothing but hypocrites. Now that he's gone, they act like he was the greatest politician to ever grace Washington, but none of them voted for him.

Both men were essentially cut from the same cloth.

Nobody was going to beat Obama in 2008. It was the perfect storm of American politics that put that man in office.

The horror. Honoring a man whom they did not vote for. For many human beings, this transcends politics. And predictably for many, but not all, here it does not because he did not toe the party line.

No one is saying he shouldn't be honored, but this over the top admiration for a politician that they vociferously attacked a few years ago is incredibly hypocritical and apparent to everyone.

Like I said, for many humanity transcends politics. They attacked his politics. So let me ask you this. Are you calling our vice president a bald-faced liar and hypocrite? Because he gave an awesome tribute to John McCain.

Two problems with this assertion. DJT does not “toe the party line”, he is a political outsider despised by most establishment politicians on both sides, and people here love him for it.

Secondly, if McCain refused to toe the party line because of his own beliefs and values, that would be respected. However, he seemed to go against party line simply out of spite for DJT.

Long before Trump, McCain was well known for not toeing the party line. He often voted across party lines

We appreciate his service to this country. The guy couldn't even raise his arms due to the torture he was subjected to when he was serving America in the Vietnam War.

Not only that, they painted him as a mean spirited, old white guy, racist and put out questions about his mental health due to his captivity in the Vietnam war. Short memories.

Don't forget about his attempt to destroy the tea party using the IRS with O's approval.

Palin killed it.

Had they gone with Libermann he would have won.

Liebermann is a DINO.
