There is a benefit to career politicians — they’re experienced. They should be experienced at something relevant upon their first election victory unless they are democrats.

Stood on the senate floor and said ‘we can’t do this, it’ll allow them to get out.’ And he was right. Without BAH I wouldn’t have been able to get out and go to school. But he’s still a decorated veteran. ....and to some degree I get it. We had to rid the demons left from our failure in Nam. We had to prove when we draw a line in the sand we mean it. But yeah, it bothered me. Heck, I needed the BAH so bad it dictated where I went to school. The whole "we don't want to give them the opportunity" crap forever made me hate him. And, don't give me that 'nam crap. The post 9-11 GI Bill gives the poor* an incentive to join and go to war... That old !@#$ based his argument on "I was an officer and the enlisted don't need to become officers." May he forever rest in hell. Maybe, one day I'll pass his grave and hive him a recycled scotch donation. Don't even get me started on his worthlessness and incompetence while he was serving. Guy should have been fragged half a century ago. Edited August 25, 2018 by Paulus

He should be honored for his military service, few have suffered as much. However, his time in the senate was disingenuous and not good for the country. . I was about to post the same thoughts, I agree with you 100%. I cannot stand his politics, but he did serve his country and deserves to be honored for it. His time in Senate (especially recently), not so much.

And I knew that I could sit at home like a lady, or go to war like a patriot. Btw, you say taxes as if it’s an option. That’s cute. You never pass up an opportunity to play the horse's ass, do you? I'm not the one who implied that taxes were optional, you dimwit. 1

That's certainly good news! Honestly though, I wouldn't have thought that helping others would ever become an aspiration. I've always treated that as something you just go out and do. You should get a purple heart for your sacrifices

Deranged Rhino Posted August 25, 2018 Posted August 25, 2018 You literally said "you say" now you say you didn't say it. You're terrible at this.

A person who put their life on the line deserves respect for having done so. Period. That aside, there are few politicians that I hold in a lower regard than John McCain. He was a shill for Hillary Clinton. He supported her agenda and worked hard against his president. To this day I think that he was nominated to assure that Obama would win, and I think the same of Romney, that sellout scumbag. I do however thank McCain, Graham, Romney, Rubio, Kasich, and others for turning me off to most republicans. 2
