I'd Rather Watch Trump Takedown Than Misremembering McCain

[PaulX2]

MSM.

I'm glad McCain saved Obamacare but 98% of his votes were to help billionaires not working families.

Bye John.

1. +1. (n/t)

[world wide wally]

2. I think that McCain acted out of ignorance or non caring with a lot of his votes...

But I don't think he ever acted out of hate like the orange turdball.

[PaulX2]

3. Agreed

[still_one]

4. Obviously some don't walk in the shoes of the likes of Jimmy Carter, Bill and Hillary Clinton,

Barrack Obama, Al Franken, and most Democrats, and those here who have respect after someone who severed in the military, unlike some who cannot hold back at taking a swipe at someone who served his country in an unpopular war, to at least wait until he is buried.


Real class

5. Yup, the haters are finally out tonight.

I'd like to think we're better than that but maybe not. I'd rather join with Obama, Biden, Franken, Reid, both Clintons, Jimmy Carter, and the other Democrats who actually knew the guy in at least acknowledging his service instead of trashing him before he's even cold.

Jeez, people. Grow the fuck up.

7. i just see it as a way to brag about how much more liberal and pure one is

14. Self congratulatory statements about one's "higher level" progressive wisdom

Is not a progressive value.

Starting to see posters refer to themselves as capital "P" progressive in order to distinguish against us lower case ones.

16. It appears most of us here are Ocelot.

12. Glad you said it instead of me. "Class." nt

6. When You Are In A Death Match With Republicans

Who are working to help billionaires profit while the planet burns....

How far is being classy gonna get you.

McCain was the only Republican I didn't hate with the fire of a trillion suns.

All the class I could muster.

20 trillion in debt and hothouse Earth on its way.

Being nice isn't my style.

I did call his staff and thank him many times though.

8. lol, nothing about this is doing anything to battle republicans or billionaires or save the planet

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. It seems to me that it could be possible to work to battle Republicans

and save the planet while still being classy and decent, like these Democrats: Obama, the Clintons, Carter, Kerry, Reid, Franken, Biden, Pelosi, Gore, Schumer, Warren, Sanders, and Madeline Albright. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politicians-react-john-mccains-death-trump-al-gore-more-issue-statements-1137562 I think I'd rather follow their lead than be as hateful over McCain's death as the Freepers.

10. agree. i'm all for fighting the current republicans . just the fact that the dying mccain was the

toughest one to stand against trump until his final moments shows how bad they are.

i'm all for starting a thread about the coward paul ryan or any one of them and dragging them down . i would be totally fine with that.

[Honeycombe8]

13. +1. nt

11. He is a Republican, you know. He has a different ideology. It's what makes the country work.

Not this alt-right, twisted thing they call the current Republican Party.

It's part of the checks and balances system. Different viewpoints to hopefully keep extremism at bay. It obviously isn't working, now that Russia is involved.

I am not misremembering McCain. Speak for yourself. If he was good enough for the Clintons and Biden to call him a friend, then I think he's good enough for me.

[Raine]

15. Death happens and I think it's good

to take time and reflect on both it and life, there are other things besides politics.

17. McCain sponsored climate legislation,

a campaign finance reform bill with Russ Feingold and stood up against torture. In 2001 Senate Democrats tried to get him to switch parties. He was definitely a mixed bag. I give him props for requesting Obama give one of the eulogies. That’s class.
