RSSDonald Trump Goes There, John McCain’s a War Hero Because He Was Captured, “I Like People That Weren’t” … “We Want Results … We Don’t Want Tone”
THIS GROUP WANTS RESULTS, THEY DON’T WANT TONE …
It looks like there is a little riff between The Donald and Sen. John McCain (AZ-R). Nothing is off limits for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and in thinking about it, it probably should not be. Trump reminds McCain and the rest of the establishment GOP, you better not bring a knife to a gun fight. During Family Leadership Summit in Iowa Donald Trump went there and said the following of RINO John McCain, “He’s a war hero ’cause he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” OUCH, he certainly did go there. Now just to provide context to those remarks from Trump, McCain who earlier criticized the Donald for “firing up the crazies” last weekend during a rally in his home state of Arizona.
Was it right for Trump to make the statement, probably not. Donald Trump meant it as a specific comeback against McCain, who had made an insulting comment about Trump followers, calling them crazies. But it will be taken as an attack against all POW’s. But, are all POW’s considered heroes? I, personally believe they are, but not all do. Because of course If Sen. John McCain is not willing to take the arrows, he should stay out of the fight. Why is it okay to insult American citizens who happen to gravitate to the blunt, strait forward message of Trump? Why is it okay for McCain to call American’s crazies who think he’s a Rino? HERE IS THE MAIN POINT, just because one is a war hero does not give them carte blanche to make insulting comments about others. Have you ever seen McCain when he is challenged on a topic, crazies, eh? Personally, I am sick of McCain, he needs to retire or get a full time gig on a cable network. God only knows he is on them enough. John McCain had his chance to run for president and he failed badly. Is McCain a war hero, yes! Has McCain done anything as a politician, no. One would think that he would make the VA his pet project and make sure it has been fixed for wounded warriors. How’s that been going?
In the end, Trump probably owes POW’s an apology, but isn’t that part of the problem of the sad state of affairs that this country has become? Everyone and their mother is offended about something someone said, because they are only willing to look at their own situation and not the bigger picture? Trump made a larger point during this interview and that was, the people want results, they don’t want tone. HE IS CORRECT. When everyone is so worried about tone, an being PC and making sure that every word they say doesn’t offend anyone … in the end, you have said nothing of any importance. Remember when Americans cared more about America than themselves and their fragile feelings? Me neither.
Is Donald Trump rough around the edges, YES. Does he give a damn what he says and who’s feelings he hurts, it doesn’t appear so. Can Trump win the GOP nomination, I don’t think so. But I don’t believe that is Trump’s purpose in life. I think Trump’s ultimate gift to America is not to be President of the United States, sorry Donald, but to bring the gutless, limousine, establishment Republicans back in line with the Republican base and make them responsive to the will of the people who are registered Republicans and the true Independent voters who want leadership in the mode of Ronald Reagan. Lest we remind everyone, including all the mushy-middle Republican politicians, Reagan fought the establishment, privileged GOP just as much as he did Democrats, sometimes maybe even more.

AMEN !!! And for that I luv what he is trying to do. He is putting a voice to the silent majority on the immigration issue and making the Republican Party change the platform.
I also don’t get offended by someone speaking their mind, at least you know where they stand. He is a true New Yorker and I am a Virginian. I am completely fed up with all of this Politically Correct sh**. What happened to this country being founded on FREEDOM of SPEECH!!!
Trump comes on a little strong sometimes to make a point. John McCain managed to get as far as he did in the military because of his father and grandfather. Yes, he was shot down on a bombing run in Vietnam and spent years as a POW.
Has he done anything as a politician to make the USA a better place? Little to none. His run for President was flawed because he would not attack the Democrat candidate for his lack of openness and the con-man mantra of “Hope and Change”. He did find Sara Palin who pulled him ahead briefly, but when the Wall Street banking cartel came apart because of the foolish rules of the Clinton administration, he had no answers.
I don’t remember the specifics, but if anyone is interested, they can likely find them on Google.
Sen. McCain, prior to being a Senator and certainly prior to being a POW. crashed his jet fighter on an aircraft carrier by carelessness and caused the death of several sailors. He was not court martialed because his father was an Admiral, so it is said. It seems that he was trying to “Show off” when landing his plane which caused it to crash.
However, I do admire him for refusing to be released by North Vietnam until those who had been there longer than he were released. The offer to release him was made because of his father’s high position in the Navy. That did display great bravery.
He is a RINO, though, and I hope he is replaced in the Senate by a real Republican.
Trump could very well be paving the way and trying to set the guidelines for the next GOP candidate. I think his messages are speak up, address the issues head on and do something about this damn mess. Why have we allowed obama to lead this country into such great despair?

Navel airman McCain was less than a good pilot. He crashed four aircraft prior to being shot down in Vietnam. One of them was a T-34 trainer that he put either in Oso bay or Corpus Christi bay (probably on runway 04/22) when he was a student at Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Tx.
He also crashed a trainer that he flew to Pennsylvania for a football game when he was training in Florida. How does a student pilot get permission to fly cross country for a football game? Admiral dad had a hand in that one.
Re #3: Two minutes of research might have prevented you from posting a story that is a complete lie. The man undoubtedly made mistakes, but the fire on the aircraft carrier was not one of them.
Maybe Trump’s brashness will expose the PC mantra for what it is.
It is simply a socialist/progressive process to prevent ideas and discourse by attacking something they don’t like. In other words it is an attack on free speech and freedom of choice. More rules for radicals in action.
