(8,200 posts)I see her crashing the service, drink in hand, with a cheap bola and low cut cheap rag for adornment and being propped up by her drunken son slurring out some incomprehensible jargon about her five minutes of greatness. All played to the admiration of Trump who has been ban from a services as a outcast as welcome as a whore at church. Now you have to admit these Trumpites have a decree of class only recognized by racists, women molesters, con artists and other associated bottom feeders.

(66,388 posts)After she was tabbed, she started strutting around as if she was the Presidential nominee. I'm pretty sure McCain didn't like that.

(14,174 posts)Apparently, John's choice was Joe Lieberman. But the new fresh rising tea bagger wing demanded he take a bagger.
I still thing Obama would have won, but Lieberman, rightly or wrongly, had a reputation as someone who could work with both sides, would be a former Democrat as well. They would have been a more formidable force for Obama and Biden to run against.
dameatball
(7,398 posts)No teabaggers were going to to vote for Obama, no matter who McCain chose. If he picked someone more centrist he could have picked up some middle of the roaders. But I agree, Obama would still have won.

(4,448 posts)If she attended the public portion of it, I don't believe they could legally turn her away if she was behaving like any other member of the public.
In a private ceremony, they could simply bar her access.

Trump is having screaming tantrums ever since McCain died. Now that's spiteful.

Ah well, I'll get over not hearing it. There is no need for her to speak anywhere publicly, much less at a memorial service.

(6,252 posts)"...a couple of days before McCain gushed loving praise for Bush at the Republican National Convention, he blamed Kerry for eliciting the Swiftboat attacks himself because he had made his Vietnam record a political issue in the campaign. Thats the way McCain showed his solidarity with a fellow navy vet who served in Vietnam."
When he ran in 2008 he "... accepted large campaign contributions from the following Swifboaters: Bob Perry, T. Boone Pickens, Carl Linder Sr., Harlan Crow, Jack E. Caveney, Albert Huddleston, and Sam Fox. He has even recently added the prominent Swiftboater, Bud Day, to his stable of war veterans who are currently shilling for his campaign. According to the Federal Election Commission, McCain has raked in over $600,000 in cash from former members of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

The fundamentalist Christians told the McCain camp they were planning to stay home on Election Day if McCain didn't find a running mate they liked. They like Sarah Palin a lot.

(1,089 posts)That was one of the biggest stains on his career, regardless of who actually put her on the ticket. It also propped open the door for idiots (see current POTUS) to climb to the heights of government. He always defended her publicly, but I'd bet that privately even hearing her name made him shudder.
Selfishly, this is good news. For a long time, I looked forward to her being all but forgotten, and it appears we've reached that point.

(37,648 posts)That's a bold statement by McCain. I'm surprised, frankly. His feelings must be very strong about her to leave her off the list.
She's a Trump supporter & endorsed him, I think. That may have something to do with it.

(24 posts)****** FOXNEWS ALERT ****FOXNEWS ALERT*****
Harvard Scholar and former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin became the last VICTIM KILLED by Barack Obama's DEATH PANELS just before he left office. That is the reason she cannot attend Senator McCain's funeral.
What is most cruel of the past administration is that Sarah Palin's remains were secretly taken from the DEATH PANEL HQ and fed to an Alaskan GRIZZLY BEAR by members of the DEEP STATE.
Afterward, The Bear, whose deeds were only known by members of the DEEP STATE, was given for target practice to the NRA flying in helicopters over Alaska.
After this sarcastic act the Grizzly Bear's body (with our heroic Sarah Palin in it's belly) was flown by the DEEP STATE and secretly BURIED in Barack Obama's NATIVE HOMELAND OF KENYA so as to hide the DASTARDLY DEED.
In these WICKED END TIMES we here at FOX NEWS are here for YOU Dear Reader, providing KOOLAIDE FOR THE MIND!
