Deeply ashamed and hopefully in jail... Yeah, your fishing will go nowhere... No one here anti-socialist will give the guy any slack.

Politicians have feet of clay no less than the average human, probably more so, since they over-represent Type A's. It should not surprise us any longer when they are revealed as cheaters and/or other forms of scumbags.

Except for James Lankford. Pretty sure he saved himself for marriage, and has been totally faithful since then.

Human is right, you lefties on here would still have him in office if he was a dem. The GOP? We spend very little capital defending a POS like him. Hope he burns in hell.

Now the Democratic standards? What standards right? You will gladly and with a smile on your face walk into that voters booth and vote for the most corrupt, shrill, vile and repugnant national political figure in decades, and when she gets indicted for her many crimes....will defend her till your dying breath. pathetic.

Hastert set a new standard for how low you can go and still get rewarded.

I hope he burns in Hell for eons.

The lack of condemnation speaks volumes tho. Silent approval, I guess. Like Trump saying McCain was no war hero. He lost my vote right there.

Hey Trump, Cruz, HC, Ole Bernie, they all say stupid things. When you talk that much, you will say stupid things. I'm waiting for it to come out when HC about 15 years ago was pondering how wonderful the country could be if the Feds could get just acquire 10% of the money in private pension plans.... for the greater good of course. With the way the country is heading toward bankruptcy, what better way to get yourself out of it than take people's wealth, after all, it's the government's money. Isn't that what you lefties on here think?

Now it's the ones that DO stupid things, that you have to fear the most.

[Serenity Now]

Trump could have said "I don't like McCain. He served his country and I respect that. But, he's lost his way." He says bat**** crazy stuff and then doubles down on them when he could clarify.

Please elaborate on just Who qualifies as a War Hero in your opinion!~

[Serenity Now]

Please elaborate on just Who qualifies as a War Hero in your opinion!~In my mind, anyone who signed up and did their thing with the potential to lay their life on the line for the rest of us is a hero. Cooks, drivers, soldiers, etc. I don't think you necessarily know where you're going when you sign your name on the line. But to say someone's not a hero because they got captured is ludicrous. "I like people who weren't captured..." And, he had ample opportunity to say that he misspoke but he declined that opportunity.

Just 'cause someone serves their country doesn't make him/her a war hero.

Your question should have been, "What qualifies John McCain as a war hero?"

John McCain......shot down over 'Nam. Captured, POW. Tortured. Offered repatriation by the North Vietnamese but refused an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer.

His refusal to come back early, to wait his turn, makes him a war hero in my mind.

'Vet, If you don't think this qualifies in your mind I'd like to hear why.

Welp, Ima member of the Silent Generation but I gotta speak up....I signed up,
served in a coupla places overseas, one of 'em had lots of sand. Closest I came
to combat was the 7 Day War when the Isrealis kicked a bunch of Arab backsides.
We were on lockdown and had a bunch of ragheads outside the wall but our mission
was to listen to what was going on all over the world, which we did. Still marvel at
how badass the Isrealis were/are. So, no, I'm no hero, McCain? Yup, you bet he is!
For Trump to disparage him or so many other of the guys caught up in a screwed up
war is TREASON, in my opinion, and, talk about disqualifying someone to be CIC!!!!
May God have mercy on the U S of A if the electorate is stupid enough to put him in
office. HRC, with all her warts, is a better choice...Socialist Bernie is a better choice..
Cruz is in the same s***hole as Trump. Those of you good folks on the right should
look deep inside when you go in the booth...assuming that you do..(so sez some who
have said they were going to sit this one out).

Here's the deal, imo, HRC is in, the Senate flips to the Dems, the House stays Pub but
a lot closer margin and, actually, really and truly, stuff gets done until 2018 and the
freakin' war is renewed. SCOTUS adjusts, the Pubs practice the minority blocking with
McConnell's upper lip actually moving in the Senate, Ryan moves to a major position
for POTUS in 2020, HRC is one term, E Warren gets involved and the Pubs stay irrelevant,
because they can't figure out how to be friendly with the Hispanics, African Americans and
women, especially if they keep Priebus as chairman. Just reread what I typed and am
pretty sure that some pulses quickened, even RLIMC, TDTW, 77 and THA hyperventilated.
Vet is chuckling and plottin potstirring just for snicks and grins....

Aw, wtf....flame on...I am silent again...Boomer!

I weep for this Country!I hung out of Hueys got shot did my duty. I aint a ****in HERO. Im just a dude who went and did!
Please Read his exact words, OK?

[hawaii 5-0]

""He's not a war hero," Trump said at the Iowa Family Leadership Summit when moderator Frank Luntz brought up McCain, who spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Immediately modifying his original remarks, Trump said, "He's a war hero 'cause he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, OK?"

"Perhaps he's a war hero, but right now he's said some very bad things about a lot of people," Trump said.



He backtracked quickly as he often does, but the words still came out.

"Blood coming out of her......whatever."

The guy is known for shooting both at the hip and at the lip.

He's done at lot since he lost my vote (July I think it was when he dissed McCain). However this was the original stupid remark among a bunch that just confirm that he's not fit to hold any elected office.

Bite me.

The difference is that most have a small percentage of what you term misspeak. Trump's rate is much higher. Hell, he referred to the size of his penis.

How 'bout this gem recently by Trump? ......"Ted Cruz's father helped Lee Harvey Oswald in his shooting of John Kennedy."

Whopper of the Week.

It really is difficult to take one seriously when their main source of information is the National Enquirer.

This is more than saying that he was in a picture.
----------------------------
“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. “What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”

“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump continued. “It’s horrible.”

When Trump says "reported" please note for background purposes that it was not in some "real" media like Drudge, WND or foxnews. It was reported in the National Enquirer. L to the O to the L.

Here are a few National Enquirer stories that I found for some perspective...

Titanic survivors found unobard! Shocking story of how they stayed alive under water.
Terrorist plot to blow up the internet.
Dick Cheney is a robot

If you'd have written a letter to the 2012 me from 2016 and described the dumpster fire that the GOP has become...I wouldn't have believed it. I mean, Mary Falin's name has been brought up for VP and no one is being "punked"...

Back to the topic at hand. You know, hypocrisy. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrisy

The guys who led the impeachment of Clinton:

Hyde: Carried on with a married woman.
Newt: Multiple affairs. Cheating on his wife while leading the impeachment hearings.
Livingston: Stepped down after Larry Flynt threatened to release details of four affairs.
Hastert: 15 months for bank fraud. And, he was apparently an old school pedophile who will escape punishment for those crimes.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Hey SN, I could list a similar list for the Socialists... you got nothing... I'll give you a few hints, Hastings, Rangel, Fattah, Menendez, J. Jackson, Jr., House Banking Scandal - mostly dims, Bustamonte, Brasco, etc., etc.

[Serenity Now]

You miss my point. They were the leaders of those impeaching Clinton over the lewinski affair.

Show me where anybody those guys tried to impeach a president over similar issues and I will agree with you.

I happen to think that sex in the Oval Office is an impeachable offense. Impeachable does not necessarily I mean illegal...it just means not fit for office and Clinton some aspects wasn't... I would impeach Zippy for his extra constitutional actions, but no one has the guts...

Let's not forget that Ken Starr has turned a blind eye to Baylor's out of control football program that is wreaking havoc on women in Waco, Texas.
