Senator Pays Tribute To John McCain, Frets Over Arpaio
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., shares his thoughts about working with Sen. John McCain along with discussing the Arizona primary and Trump changing course on the U.S. flag at full staff over the White House.
I know who you are politically, Libertarian as you reject the view of socialism as state ownership. I know that Libertarians advocate freedom in economic matters, so we’re in favor of lowering and eliminating taxes, slashing bureaucratic regulation of business, and charitable — rather than government — welfare.
In other words, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, by yourself. Government programs are not needed.
Now lets us get back to Jeff flake, the man whose seat, ill just say who is an very interesting candidate for senator as he talks about working with Sen. John McCain.
If you would have saw this video report Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz was recalling his memories of Sen. John McCain all the way back when he was a candidate Steve.
Steve, Do you know what it means to pay Tribute to a person in death that you admired in LIFE?

"who is an very interesting candidate for senator". Well Ron, I guess you meant to use the past tense instead of the present.
As far as paying tribute, that is just a politician talking about another politician. Those of us barred from the man's funeral by the selfsame dead man, don't care.
I only know of one man who was barred from John McCain's funeral and that was Donald John Trump and the family of John McCain, did not want that man, nowhere near that funeral and that is their right to have it that way. Do you understand that?
That was the last wish and right of a dying man. Stop sounding so childish. I am sure you will hold that last right for yourself if you plan your funeral, that you demand that kind of respect for yourself, STEVE, that is your right, like it or not.
As for as the barring the majority of 2016 American voters, what Majority, that is a LIE and this too is just part of the war between Republican's as it continues on Trump.
GET OVER IT STEVE AND STOP CRYING LIKE A ITCH. You can choose a "W" or a "B" for that last word, that choice is yours.
THERE'S NOTHING TO GET OVER RON. McCain started the fued when he called Trump supporters "crazies". McCain is a six term senator, who people say "put country before party", was a bipartisan "maverick", who "was the first to admit when he was wrong". All lies, just like your lie that the President is not elected by the majority of Americans. If you don't believe that Ron, I'd say it's time for you to finally bite the bullet and read our UNION'S Constitution.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump held a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, that attracted several thousand people. He shared the stage with the father of a man who was killed by an undocumented immigrant—and Trump continued his rant against illegal immigration that began when he launched his campaign and started to surge in the polls. Not every Republican in Arizona was pleased with Trump’s visit. Senator John McCain, the Party’s Presidential nominee in 2008, reacted to the event with dismay.
“It’s very bad,” McCain, who was eager to talk about Trump, told me on Monday when I stopped by his Senate office. The Senator is up for reëlection in 2016, and he pays close attention to how the issue of immigration is playing in his state. He was particularly rankled by Trump’s rally. “This performance with our friend out in Phoenix is very hurtful to me,” McCain said. “Because what he did was he fired up the crazies.”
McCain, who has long supported comprehensive immigration reform and was a member of the so-called Gang of Eight that successfully pushed immigration legislation through the Senate in 2013, has been at war with the far right in Arizona for years. “We have a very extreme element within our Republican Party,” McCain said. He then noted that he was personally censured by Arizona Republicans in January of 2014 and has been fighting to push out the extremists in the state G.O.P. ever since. “We did to some degree regain control of the Party.”
But McCain fears that Trump may be reversing those gains. “Now he galvanized them,” McCain said. “He’s really got them activated.”
Sorry Steve, this blog is not about you and want you did or didn't buy into. Do you have any thing to say about paying tribute to John McCain or the pettiness of the President rising the flag while John was still above the surface?
