John McCain, America's War Monger

Of all the people in this country or the world that you would think would be hesitant about sending our troops to war, John McCain should be at the top of the list.

But every time you turn on the boob tube, there he is talking about what we need to do in Iran or Syria or North Korea or wherever the War of the Day might be. He just can't shut his big warmongering mouth.

For a guy that has been to war, that was tortured by the enemy, one might think he would care more about the men and women in the US military? But, at the drop of a hat or a rumor of chemical weapons, he is ready to put their lives on the line. In other words, he is a first-class asshole.

The guy was at the bottom of his class but his connections (daddy and granddaddy) kept him from getting the boot.

7. Mr. McCain is going to pay for the war out of his own pocket.

For all the sequestering why does McCain want to spend our money on tinkering in other people's business. I didn't hear much from him about the wars in Chad.

Seems that the USA is getting all terroristy and war like again. Could this be because they can't agree on a budget? Can't balance the books so let's have a war.

But nope we are a nation addicted to war and I'm sure the rest of the world would love to put us in rehab.

Have often wondered about this very thing. Is it dementia or posing for votes? Either way, he needs a big reality check.

my view is he's a crabby old man that will be a footnote in history, no more.
