<\/p>\nRUSH: La Crosse, Wisconsin. This is John. Great to have you, sir. Glad you were patient and waited. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, thank you, Rush. I\u2019m glad to be on. The point I wanted to make is I\u2019ve really been appalled all during the last weekend reading about Senator McCain and all this spite relating to his funeral arrangements. And, I mean, if he\u2019s really just that eaten up with anger over it, honestly, Rush, I think that at the funeral someone should walk up just before they close the lid for the last time on Senator McCain… Someone should walk up and put in a copy of the Christopher Steele dossier to be with Senator McCain for eternity.<\/p>\n
RUSH: This is obviously a reflection of the fact that Senator McCain was one of the leading political figures pushing the dossier. He actually sent a member of his staff over to the United Kingdom to get an early copy of it when he heard about it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s true, Rush, and I\u2019ve never heard him apologize. I mean, despite all the facts that have come out since about how it wasn\u2019t true, and it just seems like if he realized —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute. Has anybody apologized? Has Mueller apologized? Has Comey apologized? Has Brennan apologized? Has that stupid idiot Clapper apologized? Has Steele apologized? Has Hillary apologized? Have any of them apologized?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, they haven\u2019t, Rush, but I think that a lot of people who are reasonable, even if they never apologize themselves, they should just see how just unrepentant and just hard-core with rage these haters are.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I think in that crowd that these “haters” as you say are viewed as doing the Lord\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m sure. I\u2019m sure, Rush. I think that they look at this as sort of like President Lincoln suspending the writ of habeas corpus. It\u2019s just a national emergency that Hillary lost, and they need to put people in jail if necessary to preserve the union.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me ask you, what do you mean…? You made some reference to Mr. McCain\u2019s… What did you say, his anger or his…? What did you say? Spite?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I think both of those are true, Rush. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any question about it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you know, Trump did say that he doesn\u2019t have much respect for military people that get captured, and McCain\u2019s life story is based on his being captured and remaining in the Hanoi Hilton.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, he didn\u2019t accuse him of treason, Rush, or being a foreign conspirator. I mean, come on. Who\u2019s worse in this?<\/p>\n
RUSH: So you think it\u2019s a little strange that as McCain approaches the end of his life, that these are the things on his mind?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I think that McCain is really angry that that his side of the party seems to have lost hold of the voters.<\/p>\n
RUSH: What did you make of his admission that choosing Sarah Palin was a mistake, that he really wanted Senator Lieberman?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I read the excerpt, Rush, and I think it was pitched to him by his advisers that, “Well, we\u2019ll lose if you pick Lieberman,” and looking back now at the last eight, 10 years, I\u2019m not sure that McCain really even cared that much about winning the general election. He did, after all, suspend his campaign two months before Election Day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (impression) “That\u2019s because there was an economic crisis, fella, and we needed to treat it seriously!”<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, and it seems to me that people like Senator McCain or Mitt Romney, their main goal in these actions is just to deny the nomination to someone like, for example, Trump or any of the other candidates like that. And then they can just go fishing, for all they care. I don\u2019t think McCain was really in it to win in 2008.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I disagree.<\/p>\n
CALLER: That\u2019s why he\u2019s the left\u2019s favorite type of Republican.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I know what you\u2019re saying. I know what you\u2019re saying. I know the point that you\u2019re making, that you think they just wanted the next item on the resume: “Nominated presidential candidate Republican Party 2008.” But I think McCain did want to win. I just think he made some drastic misjudgments long before he even entered the primaries. But, you know, that\u2019s then, and he\u2019s dealing with the now. I\u2019m glad you called. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
