Senator McCain

Senator McCain,
What has happened to you? You served your country in Viet Nam, fought in a war that we were told was to stop Communist domination in Southeast Asia. Viet Nam was referred to at the time, as a valuable domino that must not teeter or fall, as if it did the “Red Chinese” would over take the Eastern Hemisphere and democracy would die a slow death. You were brave Senator McCain, and despite machinations of the Industrial-War machine at the time, in-spite of the propaganda of the Presidents, and their cohorts in the Congress, despite the lies told about yet one more war for profit, you did what was expected of an American and served your country. No one can or should take your dedication to country at that, time for granted. And no one should ever consider you anything but a hero suffering some of the worst conditions in the ‘Hanoi Hilton’. 

No one should call you anything but a hero, but in fact Senator McCain, the presumptive candidate for your party, the GOP, has in fact told America just how much of as loser he thinks you are. He likes his Troops NOT to be captured. Mr Trump insulted your efforts in Viet Nam, (and remember he had 5 deferments), called you a loser because somehow it was your fault you got captured, and now Senator McCain you have decided to support Mr Trump. So tell me Senator McCain, you were fearless as a fighter for liberty, but suddenly a man who is nothing but a reality celebrity scares you? This is not the first time Senator McCain that you placed your priorities before the rest of the country. In your quest to become president, again from the party of NO, the GOP, you selected as a running mate a person, with very little vetting, a person whose knowledge of anything at the time was beauty pageants and ordering police captains to chauffeur her family around Alaska, and a person who had not performed anything for the public but a talent contest. You didn’t care Senator McCain at the time that what you were doing was bad for America, nope, your handlers said, lets get a female, lets get Christian, lets get a “Purty Lady” to woo the Evangelical’s. It was John McCain first and screw America if they got in your way.


So, now you are once again running scared as a politician. Your state of Arizona home of Jan Brewer and Sherif Joe Arpaio has decided that Donald Trump is the go to guy. You want yet one more run at the Senate and have become the coward that Donald Trump defined you as. No backbone anymore John, no sense of Patriotism, John, no awareness, John  (just as when you selected Palin as your running mate) Remember Senator McCain how hard you fought for America, once when you were a Soldier. But now that you are a politician all bets are off, and the only person you will fight for is yourself. I never thought I would be agreeing with Donald Trump on anything, your selfish, self-serving, disinterest in anyone but yourself has made you quite the loser.
