McCain: An Amazing Douche

John McCain is an insanely rich man. Johnny and his wife own eight houses. That’s pretty sweet. How many houses do you own? The wife is an heiress to the third largest Budweiser distributor in America. The company is worth $300 million, which makes Cindy McCain worth a sweet $100 million.
As heiress to her father's stake in Hensley & Co. of Phoenix, Cindy McCain is an executive whose worth may exceed $100 million. Her beer earnings have afforded the GOP presidential nominee a wealthy lifestyle with a private jet and vacation homes at his disposal, and her connections helped him launch his political career — even if the millions remain in her name alone.
Wow. A private jet. That’s some serious common-man shit right there. And just like most guys, the family owns a piece of a major league baseball team.
Cindy and her children own a minority stake in the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Groovy. I’ve bought a few baseball tickets, so we’ve got quite a bit in common. Oh, and Johnny likes to entertain the press at his modest estate.
John McCain held a barbecue recently for reporters at a two-story cabin near Sedona, Ariz., that sits on 15 acres owned by his wife's family trust and a real estate partnership in her name. The property includes four single-family homes and is worth nearly $1.8 million.
Of course, the majority of this information was released with Grandpa’s tax return information to the press. John apparently lives on a paltry salary.
McCain's Senate salary and book royalties amounted to $215,304 in 2006 and $258,800 in 2007. In 2006, the senator paid $72,771 in federal taxes and $84,460 in 2007.
They probably use his salary to tip the staff.
Now, you’re probably wondering why I’m bringing up the incredible wealth of Mr. and Mrs. McCain. It’s no crime to be rich, even if you keep calling your opponent an “Elitist.” Well, what about a guy whose family is worth over $100 million who is taking yearly Navy benefits of $58,358?
That’s how much McCain took in last year for injuries incurred as a Vietnam POW. He sort of forgot to list it in the tax return he released to the media, but that’s probably because the benefits not taxed. How sweet is that? Fifty-eight thousand tax free. Might actually mean something if he wasn’t a crazy rich millionaire.
On Monday, McCain's staff identified the retirement benefit as a "disability pension" and said that McCain "was retired as disabled because of his limited body movements due to injuries as a POW."
His body is so “limited” that he hiked the Grand Canyon in 2006. Actually, his staff described him as “technically disabled," the poor bastard. Actually, McCain did experience some horrible injuries. When his plane went down, he had a broken leg and two broken arms. The Vietnamese then hung him from his broken leg for a while, which is totally not cool. Maybe that was why Johnny sung like a bird when he was in captivity – after a whole 13 days.
McCain was shot down on October 26th, 1967. By November 9th, he was giving interviews to foreign correspondents, providing information on his prior command, casualties and tactics, which is kind of in direct violation of the Military Code of Conduct. But, hey, he was tortured. He spent 5 ½ years as a POW. I’m sure some of you are saying the guy deserves the cash.
He would, if he wasn’t a hypocritical douche. See, Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel wrote a new GI bill last year that would increase troop college education benefits. Considering how royally we are fucking over our troops, it’s pretty much a no brainer to increase their education benefits.
Well, not for “58K A Year McCain.” Even though Webb practically begged him to support the bill, McCain opposed it.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, seemed to give a thumbs down to bipartisan legislation that would greatly expand educational benefits for members of the military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan under the GI Bill.
McCain’s opposition comes a day after petitions from 30,000 veterans arrived at McCain’s Senate office, urging him to support the modernized bill to offer veterans a college education.
Nice. He didn’t even bother to show up for the vote. See, he knows what it is like to be a soldier. Like most soldiers, he returned home, divorced his model wife because she had become fat and married a multi-millionaire. Now he collects a sweet 58 thousand a year while opposing a needed increase in education benefits.
So, why does McCain oppose the bill? It’s actually the most disgusting reason you could think up.
I want to make sure that we have incentives for people to remain in the military as well as for people to join the military.
John doesn’t want to give soldiers incentive to leave the military. The Pentagon is opposed to the bill – and Bush will veto it – because…
Officials in charge of Pentagon personnel worry that a more generous and expansive GI Bill would create an incentive for troops to get out of the military and go to college.
Oh, the horror. We can’t have that, now can we? So, every time you look at McCain, think about how that millionaire is taking in $58,000 a year, tax free, while opposing an increase in education benefits for our soldiers, because it will keep them stuck in the military.
McCain is a class A cunt.
