McCain was never an isolationist ethno-nationalist. That’s what the base of the current GOP has devolved into.
he was a neo con that never met a war that he didn't like.
Mccain and the Bush doctrine of endless wars and endless occupations, bad trade deals and open borders was REJECTED by the GOP and the Bushes and Mccain couldn't accept that.
A great article on McCain from a conservative source. Finally some truth on this comedy spectacle.
Quote:
Yesterday the country was forced to endure an extravagant display of the Uniparty’s self-regard, and of the media’s boundless dishonesty, when everyone who represents everything that is wrong with America gathered in the National Cathedral for the funeral service of John McCain. Suddenly, politicians and news outlets joined together in a repulsive, over the top, thoroughly embarrassing display of propaganda regarding a military hero and a political cretin. There was to be no dissent because the occasion was weaponized to disparage President Trump.
Who knew that even the dead could enlist in the resistance?

McCain’s political career was one disgrace after another, one betrayal of what he told his Arizona constituents that he would do followed by another. When the media wanted a Republican who would criticize and harm other Republicans, McCain was their first stop. “You’re my base,” McCain famously told them and for once he had an honest moment.
He came close to being indicted in the corruption scandal known as the “Keating Five.” When Lois Lerner went after legitimate Tea Party groups rightly seeking non-profit status in President Obama’s politicized IRS, McCain encouraged her efforts, urging her to bankrupt the groups in the process. He infamously torpedoed repeal of Obamacare with his single vote because of his hatred of President Trump. He’d run on repealing that dreadful law for years and years. His personal bitterness counted for more than honoring the promises he had made to his voters. He sent his top aide to Europe to personally secure a copy of the Hillary Clinton funded, Russian sourced hoax “dossier” so that he could personally provide the FBI with a copy, even though the corrupt FBI had long had its own. John McCain never met a war, or the possibility of one, that he didn’t like or help try to bring into existence.
This is the “public servant” the Ruling Class insists you admire.
In 50 years, few will know or care who he was. He will be a footnote to history.
Furthermore, life is not a popularity contest. Many whose names no one knows have helped and touches thousands of lives.
In 50 years, John McCain will be more highly regarded by historians than Donald Trump, who will be viewed, almost unanimously as the worst President in American History.
John McCain will be remembered as a bitter terrorist who killed thousands of civilians who will never be remembered.
Conservatives repeatedly bash liberals for not supporting our troops, yet use the terrorist card on a man who faithfully served his country for 60 years.
Absolutely disgusting.
