    The only thing I give songbird credit for, the only thing is agreeing to be the 2008 Republican sacrificial lamb nominee. What does it say when only Sarah Palin would agree to political suicide and be his VP. 

    A self admitting carpet bombing war criminal.

    60 MINUTES

    WALLACE: (Voiceover) People who know McCain well say he can hold a grudge. He also has a legendary temper. But if McCain can be hard on his friends and even harder on his enemies, he can also be very hard on himself.

    Sen. McCAIN: I m--made serious, serious mistakes and did things wrong when I was in prison, OK?

    WALLACE: What did you do wrong in prison?

    Sen. McCAIN: I wrote a confession. I was guilty of war crimes against the Vietnamese people. I intentionally bombed women and children.

    WALLACE: And you did it because you were being tortured...

    Sen. McCAIN: I...

    WALLACE: ...and you'd reached the end of the line.

    Sen. McCAIN: Yes. But I should have gone further. I should have--I--I never believed that I would--that I would break, and I did.

    Will he live to witness his wildest dream? WW3 with Russia/Putin, time will tell.

    UNSUNG you're not alone.

    If you are saddened to learn that John McCain has been rendered incapable of returning to the Senate by a disease to which he will almost certainly succumb, it is only because you have found a way to compartmentalize away from truly comprehending the reality of what this man is and what he has done to the world. In order to avoid the cognitive discomfort of deeply recognizing the unspeakable horrors that the US war machine has unleashed upon the world with McCain’s devoted assistance, you’ve avoided looking directly at it, avoided considering it with emotional and intellectual honesty. Dissociating from the products of John McCain’s blood-saturated career has been more psychologically comfortable for you than facing the truth.

    Unsung said that John McCain getting brain cancer was "good news".  So you are saying the same thing here?  You couldn't start another thread to spread your hate?  And no, I'm not a huge McCain fan but as I said earlier, that's not what this thread is about and I would never say someone getting brain cancer is "good new".

    So now you're our latest AMT troll?  Lovely.

    so let me understand your thinking, I think its good news (absent any opinion comments) that Mccain has brain cancer with regards to the "your not alone" instead of Caitlin Johnsons, the author linked?
