Rand Paul: We're Very Lucky John McCain's Not In Charge...

[Fenton Lum]

Isn't this the guy the GOP was all in for in 2008?

No. That is why he lost.

Because Republicans backed Obama.

Yep, and the one your side called "nuts", "lunatic", "warmonger", and I believe the word "traitor" was tossed in for good measure...but when he trashes Trump, he's the cat's pajamas.

Well, there's always name callers on both sides....can you point out where I personally said such things?

BTW....I'm seeing RWrs now calling him "traitor".

 

[Fenton Lum]

The stupid part of claiming Rand Paul was the guy the GOP was all in for in 2008. Although the republicans nominating McCain was pretty dumb but not as dumb as picking his running mate.

McCain whipped everybody else in the primaries and Palin was a terrific choice for VP....the problem was McCain's advisors didn't use her properly and then undermined her when she went rogue.

She wasn't ready for prime time and did herself in with that crackpot shyte.

Spot On, Rand. McCain's a bitter old nutter.


Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) ripped fellow Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) on Sunday after McCain criticized President Trump’s escalating war of words with the media.

He argued that the nation is “very lucky” that Trump is president and not McCain, who won the 2008 GOP nomination but lost to Barack Obama in the general election.

Paul said that McCain’s recent criticisms of Trump are driven by his “personal dispute” with the president over foreign policy.

He added that McCain and Trump are at odds because McCain supports the wide deployment of U.S. troops to protect and promote American interests abroad while he characterized Trump’s views as closer to a realpolitik approach to foreign policy.

“Everything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he’s got running with President Trump, and it should be taken with a grain of salt, because John McCain’s the guy who’s advocated for war everywhere,” Paul said on ABC’s “This Week.”...

Rand Paul: We’re very lucky John McCain’s not in charge

McCain has advocated for war everywhere. Rand Paul is the only one that takes these clowns to task.

There has pretty much been no one on "either" side of the isle who has consistently objected to the irrational and preemtive use of the military as an instrument of empire.

The last outsider, Reagan, managed things pretty well. No wars.

Rand Paul is the only one that takes these clowns to task. I don't agree with him on anything else that I can think of so I have no problem giving him props.

Rand's father Ron Paul was pretty consistent on that subject and if I'm not mistaken so was Dennis Kucinich, beyond that nobody else having held a federal elected office with a long enough record to accurately determine the question of consistency comes to mind; the rest are/have been either part-time or full time War Hawks.

No. They didn't turn out. True conservatives can't stand Mcnuts.

The trend across this society over time is utterly bipartisan; we would take out anyone else doing what we do.

I said "your side" not "you" and yeah, I see McCain being called a traitor and it disgusts me. By the time the little bastards at Hoa Lo tortured him long enough to get something from him, it was useless information. They had no ability to attack a Carrier group which is all he knew anything about.

No, that would be the lunatic leftists globalists. Then Clinton got paid by China and made things a thousand times worse.

There aren't any true conservatives, just folks who wish to be viewed as such.

.
Yup.

The Republicans nominating McCain was almost as stupid as the Democrats nominating Hillary.

Nope.

'Nope' to which part of stupid?

The stupid part of claiming Rand Paul was the guy the GOP was all in for in 2008. Although the republicans nominating McCain was pretty dumb but not as dumb as picking his running mate.

I read Bodecea's post as referring to McCain.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Isn't this the guy the GOP was all in for in 2008?

If you mean McCain yes. I think the country dodged a bullet by electing Obama over him that year.

Yes, Clinton and the neoliberals built upon what Reagan had begun, it has indeed been utterly bipartisan; this societal wealth extraction begun under Reagan.

Uh Shortbus, McCain lost badly, because he could not rally support from the GOP or anyone else. Old Openborders should have never been the nominee, but the establishment demanded it was "his turn."
