Because the Obama girls were trashed makes it acceptable to Trash Trump's son? Not in my book and it wasn't acceptable bash Obama's children either. As I said both sides engage in the hate speech and trash talking. The left has no moral high ground over the right.
Thats why I refuse to support either party.
Are you new to politics. This is how it always is....candidates are trashed by the other party. The right trashed the Obama girls and Chelsea.

I don't often agree with Senator McCain, but I know this; the man is patriotic to the bone, serves his nation honorably, and is a hell of a lot tougher than some alt.right wanker who would try to lay charges on him when he's hospitalized.

I fully expect that if the North Vietnamese could break both his shoulders and arms several times, torture him for 5 years, keep him isolated and alone from the other POWs, cripple him for life, and still not break his spirit, cancer can't do it either.

These idiotic armchair Generals sitting down in their basements, callusing their fingertips by writing slander all day do not bother John McCain. But they make me sick, and as an old Navy vet who is also feeling his age, I would still take one on in defense of Mr. McCain.

He continued to serve and honor his country even when death was whispering in his ear, trapped in a jungle with no hope of ever leaving alive.

The least the rest of us can do is if we cannot honor him, then leave him alone and allow him to recover.

Yet, it didn't bother you when the left mercilessly attacked and ridiculed him when he ran for President. I'll bet any amount of money you happily voted against McCain in 2000.

I so not remember the left calling him a fake hero. I do remember Donald "bone spurs" trump doing that. Pretty priceless. A draft dodger trashing a POW.

Yes. It is. Very tough. Though not impossible. Being a Christian, truly following Christ, isn't easy. It isn't supposed to be.

As for Senator McCain, I hope he beats cancer like it owes him child support.

I didn't vote for him, but I didn't ridicule him, either. Do not expect me to apologize for your generality.

I won't, and I won't apologize for my own vote either. I don't ever speak for anyone other than myself, and you should not make such sweeping generalities.

My vote did not dishonor John McCain any more that a vote for him honored him.

Those who vote seriously cast their personal feelings aside and choose who they genuinely believe to be the best person for the job. That is what I always do, and I only speak for myself.

If I was ever to meet him in person, I would be very honored and glad to shake his hand warmly. And if he was to ask how I voted, I would tell him to his face. And I know he would not be insulted by the truth.

You endorsed the human trash that smeared him and what he stood for. So save us the grandstanding about him now.

I know The all in or all out mentality. That is the problem with hardliners.
The left in this case is pretending to be upset about McCain, but have no problems bashing him when it suits their purpose. They also have no problem attacking a child, simply because they disagree or hate his father.
The left forfeited their high ground with their own hate speech.
The left the left the lef....blahblahblahblah...

I'm not pretending a damn thing. Point out where I've bashed Senator McCain. Just once. You can't, because I haven't, and wouldn't.

So knock it off with the putting all liberals in the same effing box, because I don't fit there.
