GETTING TO KNOW THE REAL JOHN McCAIN

By Burma Davis Posey

McCain graduated 894th in his class of 899 students from the Naval Academy. He was known for being wild and it usually revolved around women. He was a member of a group of students who called themselves "The Bad Bunch".

He married Carol Shepp who was a successful swimsuit model. She had been married to one of his classmates and had two children from her first marriage. She and McCain became parents for a daughter one year later. He had been quite a playboy and was already becoming bored with the domesticated life. He requested active duty in Vietnam. While he was there, Carol faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously for news about her husband. His plane was shot down in 1967 and he became a POW.

On Christmas Eve 1969, Carol and the children were spending the holiday with her parents. After dinner she was going to take gifts to some friends. The road was icy and she slid head-on into a telephone pole. She was thrown from the car through the front window. Her legs, spine, and right arm were crushed and she was in the hospital for 6 months. Ross Perot was an advocate of POW's and he paid her medical bills. She requested that John not be told because she felt he already had enough to deal with.

McCain was released in 1973 and returned home to much fanfare. Carol had several surgeries, lost 5 inches in height, and gained some weight.. McCain told reporters he was overjoyed to see Carol again. But friends say privately he was ‘appalled’ by the change in her appearance.

As a war hero, McCain was moving in ever-more elevated circles. "He started carousing and running around with women.", reported Robert Timberg. Bob Timberg was a retired Marine, an American journalist, writer, and author of four books, including THE NIGHTINGALE'S SONG and JOHN MCCAIN: AN AMERICAN ODYSSEY.

McCain admitted he started having many girlfriends and affairs during this time. On one trip to Hawaii he met an Anheuser Busch distributer heiress, Cindy Hensley, at a cocktail party. She was 17 years younger than McCain and worth $100 million dollars. He invited her to have drinks with him at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. He said by the end of the evening he was in love.

They had an affair for nine months while he was still married to and living with his wife Carol. McCain wanted to marry Cindy but needed first to get a divorce. He and Carol separated in January 1980. He requested a divorce in February, the divorce was sped along and granted in April. He and Cindy married 5 weeks after the divorce was final on May 17, 1980. Carol and their children were devastated. McCain callously left his first wife and children behind. He and Cindy moved to Arizona. Cindy's father was well-connected and helped McCain move smoothly into Congress representing Arizona in Washington DC.

McCain's new wife and her family were extravagantly wealthy. Her father was one of the largest distributors of Anheuser Busch in the country and she was an only child. The divorce settlement afforded Carol McCain full custody of their three children, alimony, child support, including college tuition, houses in Virginia and Florida, and lifelong financial support for her continuing medical treatment from the car accident.

Carol said the reason for the divorce was John turned 40 and he wanted to be 25 again. Carol was extremely hurt. She went to work as the press assistant for soon-to-be First Lady Nancy Reagan. She became loved and respected in Washington. She kept a dignified silence about the horrendous way McCain had treated her.

Some of the McCain friends were less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.

Despite his popularity as a politician, there are those who have not forgotten his treatment of his first wife. Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam is now a leading campaigner for veterans’ rights.

Ted said, "I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is... deceit. "When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it. Eventually he met Cindy and she was young, beautiful, and very wealthy. McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better.

"This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. Yet he has no character. He is a fake." Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel, even by the standards of modern politics.

Mr. Perot said, "McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory.

After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history. A man who cannot be faithful to a loving, self-sacrificing wife cannot be trusted to be faithful to the American people.

Cindy has also had to learn the lessons about her husband the hard way. Even though she and McCain put on a perfect front for the public, especially when he is running for office, she really is an invisible wife to him.

Tom Gosinski, who served as director of Cindy McCain’s nonprofit American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT) wrote in his journal about the McCain marriage: "During my short tenure at AVMT I have been surrounded by what on the surface appears to be the ultimate all-American family. In reality, I am working for a very sad, lonely woman. Her marriage of convenience to a U.S. Senator has driven her to distance herself from friends, cover feelings of despair with drugs, and replace lonely moments with self-indulgences. She became addicted to Percocet and had a doctor prescribing them for her illegally. When her parents learned she was taking them, they helped her stop.

Washington rumors were saying McCain had an inappropriate relationship with the young and lovely lobbyist, Vicki Iseman. Ms. Iseman began visiting McCain's offices and campaign events so frequently in 2000 that his aides were "convinced the relationship had become romantic". One staff member supposedly asked, "Why is she always around?" His staff members began a campaign to "save McCain from himself" by restricting Iseman's access to McCain during the course of the 2000 presidential primary. According to the Washington Post, McCain's political advisor John Weaver met with Iseman at Washington's Union Station to tell Iseman not to see McCain anymore.

It is not a real marriage between John and Cindy McCain. Real marriages usually involve living together. McCain and Cindy have not "lived" together for 20 years. To defend this, McCain brags the family takes two vacations together every year and Ms. McCain is the one who has always made that happen."

Two vacations per year...What a farse and fake!! Nothing about this man is real. He has no compassion or empathy for anyone except himself. The only real thing emotion he is capable of is anger. He is famous for his anger.

Part 2/2

His father and grandfather were both decorated Navy Admirals. He was given

special privileges and extreme preferential treatment while he served in

the Navy. He was a pilot but according to his colleagues he was a very bad

pilot. He actually crashed three planes. There was a horrendous incident

that happened on his aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Forrestal, that killed

134 men. There has been a debate since the incident with some being

convinced John McCain was responsible for this accident. Others are angry

about anyone who would dare speak against a Naval officer and embarrass an

entire branch of service.

Many witnesses have reported that McCain was guilty of a "wet start". When

a pilot wants to be a show off, with a "wet start" his engine start creates

a large startling flame and lots of surprise noise from the rear of a jet

engine on start up. McCain did the "Wet Start". It was not an accident. The

flames from the wet start torched off the launching of a powerful Zuni

rocket on the plane behind him. The Zuni rockets were famous for having

electrical problems. It shot across the carrier’s deck hitting other parked

planes that were packing 1,000 high-explosive pound bombs. This caused the

bombs to explode. The subsequent massive explosions, fire and destruction

went several decks below and nearly sunk this major 82,000 ton U.S.

aircraft carrier.

This stunt and aftermath caused the death of 134 sailors and blew off arms,

legs, and caused blindness and burns to another 161 sailors. McCain jumped

from his plane, rolled across the flames, and escaped. He watched the men

dying and the burning from a closed circuit television on the ship. Sadly

all of those lives were lost.

They had to take the ship off the battle line for 2 years when it had to be

taken back to port for $76 million dollars of extensive repairs. That does

not include the cost of replacing the airplanes or ammunition.

Other Navy pilots causing this type of death and destruction would have

been arrested and would probably still be in prison. Why didn't this

happened to John McCain?

McCain's grandfather was a famous FOUR STAR Navy admiral and his dad, at

the time of the incident, was also a powerful illustrious FOUR STAR Navy

admiral. McCain had graduated from the Naval Academy. Witnesses say the

good ole boy Navy tradition went into high gear immediately. McCain was not

even repremanded. When there is a cover-up, the soldier is usually simply

assigned to another ship. McCain was quietly assigned to another ship.

There is an ongoing debate about the incident to this day.

John McCain's lack of character was further demonstrated when he voted not

to repeal Obamacare. He had run his 2016 Senatorial race under the banner

he would LEAD the fight to repeal Obamacare. He hates Donald Trump so very

much he gleefully held his thumb down for his vote rather than a thumbs up.

He laughed afterwards and said, "Let's see Donald Trump save America now!"

What a horrible man. He stabbed his constituents and the citizens of

America in the back. Liberal socialists now call him their hero.

McCain has recently discovered he has a brain tumor. I am genuinely sorry

for anyone who has to face a health issue especially when it involves

cancer. Thankfully for him the doctors have said it is curable. The fact

that he now has a brain tumor does not change the horrendous things he has

done in his life because of his extremely low flawed character.

If Senator McCain's own health care was dependent on the Obamacare he has

continued to saddle the American people with, I guarantee he would not have

voted thumbs-down.

But because he married a wealthy heiress and has plenty of money to take

care of his own health needs, he does not care.

Here is a fact-checker who verifies this info.
