I
was so ticked when I heard the interview that nIngraham had with a couple of
uniformed numbskulls, praising and extolling McCain and excusing the remarks
made to exclude Trump from his pending funeral, that I just had to share
some of my experiences with McCain. My name is Karen S. Johnson and I
live in Arizona and served in the Arizona legislature for 12 years back in 1996
- 2008. As I listened to Laura on her program this evening regarding John
McCain, I felt I had to share with her about this man and the actual firsthand
knowledge I have had with him. John
McCain is NOT a hero!! He is a traitor to this county and did not suffer
as a POW like the other men that were captured during that terrible war.
Just ask Captain Red McDaniel (whom I spoke with at an Eagle Forum Conference
privately along with Phyllis Schlafly and a few other Eagles) or a few others
that were in the Hanoi Hilton with him. Because McCain's father was an
Admiral at the time of his capture, he was definitely afforded special
treatment. Ask the brave service men that served on the same aircraft
carrier that McCain heedlessly flew his plane off of, ignoring the protocols
set forth by the military. He was reckless and put many other lives in
danger on a continual basis. He crashed his plane on two previous
missions as well as flying into power lines on a third. Check out the USS
Forrestal Fire where 134 sailors died.
After coming home and partying
and sleeping around, he divorced his wife who waited for him during the time he
was serving our country and himself. He then hooked up with Cindy Hensley from
Arizona and took great advantage of her family's fortune earned through her
father's beer distributorship - one of the largest Anheuser busch beer distributors
in the United States.
As a carpetbagger he won his
first run for Congress from the district that I lived in - in Mesa, Arizona.
In his first couple of terms he seemed to stay true to the conservative
majority he represented BUT after being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986,
replacing our retired Senator Barry Goldwater, he continued to serve himself
throughout including his problems with the Keating Five and associated
himself with the likes of the despicable editor of the Arizona Republic
newspaper as well as the Phoenix Gazette, Duke Tully. As a major force
with the Phoenix Forty (the ruling class that ran Arizona), McCain did all
within his power to remove an honest man with integrity who won the
governorship of Arizona in 1986, Evan Mecham.
I personally know all of this
because I worked for Governor Mecham during the short time (1 year and 3
months) he was "allowed" to serve as Governor. I distinctly
remember being in a meeting with Governor Mecham when McCain came into the room
with his entourage and literally threatened the Governor about the need to have
Arizona celebrate a Martin Luther King PAID holiday. I was young (and
naive) and spoke up to McCain about not speaking to the Governor "that
way". Talk about an excoriating look that could kill from
McCain.
I never thought more about it
until Mecham was impeached and I went on to work for a man that was the Chairman
of the Maricopa Board of Supervisor's, Tom Freestone. McCain actually
called Tom and demanded that he NOT hire me. Thank goodness Tom thought
it was funny and did not comply.
A few years later, when Tom
retired, I went to work for David Schweikert (who is now a Congressman from
Arizona) who was the Republican majority whip at the Arizona House. I
served as his assistant. Once again McCain called him to demand he not
hire me but fortunately David was his own man and hired me anyway. After
David left the House to run for Congress the first time, I went to work for
Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Guess what, McCain called Arpaio and told him not to
hire me as his legislative liaison on Criminal justice and Law Enforcement
issues to the Arizona legislature. You may know Joe a little, but no one
tells Joe what to do. Ha!
It was after that that I ran Pat
Buchanan's first campaign for President in Arizona and a few years later I ran
Ron Paul's Arizona campaign for President. I am relaying the last bit to
you in hopes it will let you know I am not a kook but a real person that knows
John McCain and the evil man that he is and has been much of his life.
Think Manchurian
candidate! The man has done great damage to Arizona and as to winning his
last run in 2016, I have yet to find a Republican that voted for him.
Vote fraud, you bet! The true Constitutional Republicans in Arizona KNOW
John McCain is a fake, a traitor and worst "un=american". Check
out the recent picture of McCain with the ISIS rebels in the Middle East -
shame, shame!
Please, please do not give
him accolades and shower him with praise for being completely self-serving and
a traitor to our beloved country.
