CDZ John McCain's funeral extravaganza, do we need to stop treating politicians like Lords and Ladies?

[miketx]

So, this endless funeral procession....we need to stop it. This was, to me, excessive and dumb. Let his family mourn him, then bury him....this lying in state as if he was a king....ridiculous. He was a brave man, and a corrupt politician..... nothing more.

Yawn, guy, the only reason why you are upset is that his funeral exposed how small and petty Trump is.

The sad thing about the GOP is that it rejects a truly great man like McCain and idolized a truly awful one like Trump.

The Goebbels effect.

We all know the implication of not inviting Sarah Palin, for she was picked by John to appeal to conservatives. However, now that he can no longer use her like a woman uses a tampon, he just discards her and makes derogatory comments about what a horrible decision it was to choose her as a VP.

You mean... a politician who admitted he made a mistake?

Picking Palin was a mistake. She was not ready for the position, and for every Conservative she "inspired", there were two moderates who didn't want her a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

McCain wanted to pick Joe Leiberman. Personally, I wouldn't have been for that, but it probably would have been a better political move. Although McCain was probably doomed in 2008 no matter who he picked.

This never ending ceremony for John McCain brings to mind the idea that our politicians are now no longer public servants...but are lords and ladies, our "Betters" ......

Where the heck did you get that idea?

.......

I think that we need to stop treating them like Nobility, end the ceremonies and the titles....instead of calling them Senator, and Congressman.....we should call them by their last names or their first names........

Where do you see anyone treated "like nobility"? As for calling them Senator or Congressman, you know that's their job title, right?


And where do you come by the need to further demean our already widely reviled political representatives? Do you have such disdain for our nation?

It has been ridiculous to have day after day of memorials for McCain.

There will be yet another thingy today.

McCain has got more funerals/memorials than all the Kings of Siam, combined.

In reality he wasn't even that important. An arrogant incompetent egotistical politician who dumped his wife that stood by him when he was a POW and married a hot young chick that was rich.

Couldn't even beat an incompetent nobody affirmative action extreme Left Winger when he ran for President.

Now everybody that has ever served in Congress will want to have the John McCain treatment.

So you are still exploiting the man's death ?? The gift that just keeps on giving eh ??

No, I'm just pointing out where the GOP has gone wrong.

McCain is a man of honor and decency. Served his country in Vietnam, endured horrid things as a POW, married his wife Cindy and stayed married for 40 years. Worked selflessly to improve the country. Some of his ideas weren't terribly thought out (McCain-Feingold), but they came from a good place.

Then you have Trump. Avoided Vietnam on a dubious medical claim, cheated on all three of his wives, and had a career of perpetual self-promotion and petty scams.

And which of these two men does the GOP admire?

Listen, the bottom line is that it's not about these guys private lives, but it's about their public servant lives and leadership. Focus on what they do in the position they have been given by we the people, and forget about their past. Let the dead sleep in peace, and focus on the living today.

Trump is thought to be a threat to the Demon-crats past agenda or radical bullcrap In which they had going, and in which was mostly against the majority of the people's will in this country. This frustration is what produced Trump as president. Now everyone needs to focus on what Trump is doing as president, and leave the past for the ultimate judge who ain't Bob Mueller.
