It is very poor form in a discussion forum and is worse than anyone's grammar mistakes.
“Every thread” is quite a stretch. It’s a valid observation and perpetuates our backwards, uneducated reputation, when so many can barely string together a sentence.

He thinks because there is a possibility that he could pass a 3rd grade grammar test that proves his "intellectual supperiority" Someone needs to inform the grammar policewoman that communicating ideas and philosophical views effectively requires far more intelligence than 3rd grade grammar which he/she hasn't demonstrated to me she has effectively mastered even 3rd grade grammar.

Why is this lady so mad? Her posting history is . Maybe a GoFundMe to buy her some punctuation?

Anything on-topic or were you just stopping by to say hello? I think the McCain thing has exhausted itself, as evidenced by the irrelevant posts.

Funny you should say that, since your irrelevant grammar policing post was the first post that started this path of the discussion.

You do that often. Post something irrelevant and then call others out for responding to your nonsense.

I didn’t police anyone. I made an observation about THIS THREAD. Your post was about ME. Surely you see the difference and now understand who derailed this, right? Relevant vs. irrelevant.

I believe that it was Cindy's childhood church and they were considered congregants there. However, John McCain publicly identified as Episcopalian until his 2008 campaign for president. Someone probably told him that being a Baptist was more palatable to Evangelical voters back then.

Did he blame her? I thought he kept that to himself?

But it is the case that she was the electoral shiv in his campaign's heart, a person who called the reporter asking "What newspapers do you read?" to a potential President a "gotcha question". You nominate a beauty queen you get a beauty queen, she became an international joke to all but the kool-aid drinkers & sunk his very good chances. It called into question his decision-making to those not of the Tea Party group & add that to his age & health....

It seemed to me he represented the independent, ornery, western conservative in the mold of Goldwater very well. He liked to BBQ & drink & watch football & apparently had all sorts of friends, not just those who were "politically correct" for his politics, that shows something good.

He wasn't actually from AZ though right, he adopted the state?

Mccain is now dead and buried time to move on to the living.

Prior to this week I simply didn't agree with McCain's politics. After this week I see what an egotistical and shallow person he was. He used his death to get one more jab at his political enemies and it cost the taxpayers a ton of money. This shows that he put himself above the people he said he served.

I feel this week was not a positive at all for McCain or Arizona as this thread suggests. I for one am glad he no longer represents Arizona.
Fantastic post. Spot on!

Speaking of intellectual superiority, I asked if you had anything proving your claim regarding Sarah Palin.
