“President Trump must be willing to confront Putin from a position of
strength and demonstrate that there will be a serious price to pay for
his ongoing aggression towards the United States and democracies around
the world. If President Trump is not prepared to hold Putin accountable,
the summit in Helsinki should not move forward,” a press release from
McCain’s stated in light of special council Robert Mueller’s indictment of 12 Russian hackers.
Editor's notes: I doubt that I was ever a fan of McCain. His pretense at being a Conservative was never genuine, IMO. In this case, the arrogance is sickening. McCain has no clue as to the ultimate plans of our President. . . . .

John McCain supports the Syrian rebel leader, General Idris, who believes and has said: "Israel is an enemy country (to the Palestinian people)" and that is why we cannot - must not - get involved with Syrian, militarily.
General Salim Idris, framed as a "fine leader" and a "moderate" by John McCain, set in on an interview by Al Jazeera, on May 8. In that interview his anti-West bias became more than obvious when he went so far as to accuse Syria's Assad and the terrorist/anti-Israel organization of being "Israeli collaborators." You should know that Salim Idris is the commander of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which is deemed a “moderate” force by both the Obama Administration and the likes of John McCain. The May 8 interview includes the following (comments McCain most definitely knows were made by Idris):
“Israel
In the same Al Jazeera interview,
Idris accused Bashar al-Assad and Hizballah (which is designated a terrorist
group by the U.S.
McCain complains that the US has no credibility in the Middle East.
(CNN) – It’s high time for the United States to cut off
its $1.3 billion in aid to Egypt as the military regime cracks down violently
on protesters, Sen. John McCain argued Sunday.
The Arizona
Republican added the U.S. has lost its credibility in the region after failing
to follow its own law that requires suspending aid to states overtaken by a
military coup–though the U.S. has not officially described the recent regime
change in Egypt as a coup.
Editor's notes: Here are a number of reasons why McCain needs to sit down and shut up:
1. First, his "principles" are out of whack. He complains about the anti-Democratic Muslim Brotherhood being taken out of power by the military, when, as a point of fact, the Muslim Brotherhood only used the democratic election process to win power, looking to establish Shira Law and rule Egypt as an oppressive dictatorship. We should never forget that it was the Muslim Brotherhood that murdered Anwar Sadat, Egypt's very pro-Western, very popular president, back in 1981. The Brotherhood has been around for decades, and has always been militant and subversive.
2. Two, the military only facilitated the will of the Egyptian majority. Understand that 33 million Egyptians demonstrated in the streets of Cairo, against Morsi and his band of Islamic thugs. In the strictest of terms, therefore, there was no military coup in Egypt - the military only controlling the obvious will of the people. Without those demonstrations, Morsi would still be in power. And, when the fighting comes to an end, Egypt will have elections and a non-military, civilian government, once again.
3. The millions given to "Egypt," is money actually given to the military, in that country. The aircraft given to that country was, of course, actually given to the military. To cut off this supply of funding, would be to permanently destroy what is left of Egyptian/American diplomatic relations.
4. Contrary to whatever McCain is thinking, we need the Egyptian pro-American government to remain in power. That is critical and for the following reasons:
-- continuation of the Camp David Accord with Israel;
-- the free flow of oil and commodities through the Suez Canal;
-- a working diplomatic relationship with those who represent a Middle East population (in Egypt) that is larger than all other Middle East nations combined. If Egypt falls into the hands of a Radical Islamic regime, the existential danger to our homeland increases immeasurably.
Dang !!! McCain wins again. A solid victory for GOP compromise and nothing more.
McCain wins by wide margin — PHOENIX — Sen. John McCain routed former Rep. J.D. Hayworth in the Arizona Republican primary Tuesday night after a contentious campaign marked by stinging attacks and McCain's attempts to burnish his own conservative credentials. . . . .Editor's notes: the discredited "Politico" rag gets it right -- McCain wins by wide margin. Here is what this bunch of Leftist manipulators completely miss: McCain is a part of the old guard within the GOP who is despised by the conservative base of the GOP. He is a compromising boob with no moral centre when it comes to politics; a man willing to compromise on just about anything. Let's not forget that during the '08 campaign, this clown declared his intention to use Al Gore as his environmental chief !! It was under his "leadership," the dark side negative to Newt Gingrich, that the GOP Congress lost its majority and gave up trillions (4 trillion in total) in debt. Now that he is "safe" for another 6 years, expect him to return to his compromising roots. HE is the reason why Obama is president. Some 5 million conservatives stayed away from the polls in '08 and another [perhaps] 6 million decided to give the "new guy" a chance.
You can be sure that this will not happen again.
Too bad JD Hayworth was the alternative. Turns out that Hayworth was as compromised as McCain.
Point of post: we have no higher purpose in this post than to simply complain about a man who helped to drive the GOP off a cliff.
