He would have received better if not for the fact that he insisted on orchestrating his funeral… to settle scores and to poke a finger in the eye of the President of the United States</i>.'<br /><br />If he had deserved better, he would have arranged better. McCain's funeral reflected his loyalties, which lay with the elites and the Left, but definitely not with Americans.Ominous Cowherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802991559947782419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-26170988670591325212018-09-03T19:30:30.108-07:002018-09-03T19:30:30.108-07:00Obama-speak is cringe worthy.

The 'bipartisan' tributes to McCain are fitting. Can anyone point to a piece of legislation he authored that provided a general benefit to the country? His signature accomplishment was a law that made it more difficult for citizens to campaign against incumbents, and many of his 'bipartisan' gestures favored the status quo to the detriment of his (nominal) party and the country as a whole.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-29418878176016899392018-09-03T05:37:37.514-07:002018-09-03T05:37:37.514-07:00Did you ever wonder who started this kerfuffle bet...Did you ever wonder who started this kerfuffle between Trump and McCain?

I only wanted to go because I had lived there and wanted to catch up with friends, and because McCain made up somewhat for his obnoxiousness by picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. I held my nose and voted for him in November, and while the alternative was worse, I really don't think it was all that worse. sestamibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713681322114049960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-67361037910808626352018-09-02T09:12:17.904-07:002018-09-02T09:12:17.904-07:00"And yet, it made McCain look petty and mean-..."And yet, it made McCain look petty and mean-spirited… as though he could not miss a last chance to play to the liberal media crowd."

Her grandmother was an oil heiress and her grandfather and great-grandfather were admirals in the Navy. She's never accomplished a single thing in her life that wasn't due to the circumstances of her birth. I'm getting a little tired of folks who were born on third base and think they hit a triple.<br /><br />As for the other funeral, all of the speakers at Aretha Franklin's funeral who took swipes at President Trump and alluded to the state of black Americans as being less than ideal are themselves far richer and far more privileged than the average white male. Certainly none of them mentioned the numerous small business owners, trades people, and landlords the Ms. Franklin seemed to have a habit of stiffing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-36703728406052316072018-09-02T08:20:07.241-07:002018-09-02T08:20:07.241-07:00As I said before, McCain lost me, my respect at h...As I said before, McCain lost me, my respect at his long goodbye.

But at least with Pence there, we can see it is personal, not political. And it really was a bipartisan affair to indirectly speak against Trump's repeated unrepentant offensiveness.<br /><br />I was at the Wellstone Memorial days before the election and there was just one speaker who really let his irrational emotions take over that probably gave away the election to Norm Coleman. That's maybe where I first learned how "true believers" see things differently than the rest of us. The McCain funeral was a bipartisan party of "true believer" against our sorry excuse of a president.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-64726265238998863722018-09-02T06:23:42.612-07:002018-09-02T06:23:42.612-07:00Is there not anything that the democrat party, Nev...Is there not anything that the democrat party, Never Trumpers and the DC swamp cannot debase and ruin? And the Wellstone Memorial for the most politicized and polarizing, dishonoring funerals this year goes to #1 John McCain and in a close #2 Aretha Franklin. "Dishonorable Mention" goes to the Media for demonstrating TDS.<br />The truly sad part is that these poor excuses for human beings have not the slightest idea about what this says about them.
