McCain fundraiser Carla Eudy confirmed to People that Palin had not been invited — possibly, People speculated, at the behest of the McCain family. The news comes on the tenth anniversary of the date in 2008 when Palin was announced as McCain’s pick for Vice President. Palin now joins President Donald Trump on the list of those barred from the funeral. But unlike Trump, Palin never feuded with McCain and never criticized him. When news broke on Saturday of McCain’s passing, Palin said: “Today we lost an American original. Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life — and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self. “John McCain was my friend. I will remember the good times. My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family.” Last year, when McCain was reported to have said that he regretted choosing Palin instead of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-VT), Palin described the news as a “gut punch” but refused to blame McCain personally, telling the UK Daily Mail that she blamed his “ghostwriters” for such reports. When McCain selected Palin as his running mate, the two had both built reputations as corruption-busting “maverick” leaders who were not afraid to buck their own parties. After the 2008 election, they moved in separate political directions. Palin became an inspirational figure for the Tea Party and for grassroots conservatives in general. McCain campaigned as a conservative border hawk in his 2010 re-election race, but became a harsh critic of the Tea Party, calling Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY) “wacko birds.” Many in the Beltway blamed Palin for McCain’s loss in 2008 — even though Barack Obama had benefited from a sudden financial crisis and a biased press corps. That view seemed to have seeped into McCain’s own thinking. Still, Palin never took offense, and always honored McCain. Even after being excluded from the funeral, she declined to criticize him. People quoted a source close to the Palin family: “[O]ut of respect for Sen. McCain and his family we have nothing to add at this point. The Palin family will always cherish their friendship with the McCains and hold those memories dear.” McCain will be laid to rest on Sunday in Annapolis, following several days of memorial events and ceremonies. This guy went to his grave with premeditated HATE about his fellow patriots. He was a Fuckin' weird guy.
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who was Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)’s running mate in the 2008 presidential election, has been excluded from his funeral. Breitbart News has independently confirmed an earlier report in People magazine, which reported that Palin was not sent an invitation, and was told through intermediaries to stay away from the ceremony.

Honestly, he thought politics was a full contact sport and he held grudges. Sad way to end one's life, being bitter. It makes me think that some folks are going to line up to urinate on his grave.
From: NATIONAL VIETNAM P.O.W. STRIKE FORCE To: CBS News, 10/12/97 You did not do your homework well enough on “Hanoi John” McCain. If you had read the lengthy article about him in the April 1973 issue of U.S. News and World Report, you would have seen that in none of his quotes did he allege torture, except from the irate civilians at the scene of his crash. Once in captivity, he lived in relative splendor compared to his hapless cohorts who refused to denounce America on the radio and paid for their patriotism in blood, literally. Here are some other facts your sloppy journalism omitted: (1) USAF Major Overly could not have cared for McCain’s “wounds” for very long; he collaborated and accepted early release in less than five months from shootdown. (2) Another of McCain’s roommates “disappeared” and was not released at Homecoming I. McCain was kept in the camp for “progressives” (collaborators) and away from “reactionaries” (John Wayne types who spit in the face of their torturers). Other roommates were Day and Flynn, both of whom made propaganda broadcasts along with McCain urging pilots to return to carriers and soldiers to surrender. (3) McCain returned from communist captivity 10 pounds heavier. (4) Patricia O’Grady, daughter of a POW/MIA, on a visit to Hanoi to look for her father, was given a tour of the “Hanoi Hilton” prison. They showed her McCain’s cell. It had a writing desk, a large bed, a goldfish bowl, a flush toilet and a nice window of downtown Hanoi out the window. (5) Both North Vietnamese Generals Giap and Bui Tin met with McCain in his cell. No other returned POWs reported meeting with high-ranking generals. I have a picture of McCain enjoying a large plate of food while talking to a Soviet KGB officer in the Foreign Ministry. A Soviet doctor was rushed to Hanoi to treat his wounds. (6) In personal conversations I have had with General Bui Tin, he assured me they never touched McCain, saying that since he was the son of the CINCPACFLT Admiral, “He too important”. (7) McCain said in 1973, he sustained his ordeal with his “love for his wife”. In a matter of months he had dumped her for a woman 1/3rd his age whose father owned the Coors Beer franchise in Phoenix. (His good friend Senator Kerry, about the same time, dumped his wife after fornicating with Jane Fonda.) McCain also has a secret “wife” in Hanoi and an illegitimate son. (8) McCain would sit beside with army officers at a table when newly-captured pilots arrived and urged them to cooperate. (9) McCain viciously fought against the formation of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA and then got on it and sabotaged any hopes of finding real answers. He called me and others crooks profiteering on the issue, yet he is the biggest loot recipient of the Keating Five. (10) If the “Crowned Prince” of the “Plantation” does not stop his outlandish lies about his “torture”, several of his fellow POW’s “will” soon break their “code of silence”. McCain is a brainwashed Manchurian candidate who has fawningly supported Hanoi and the Communist Bloc countries ever since he entered congress. The man is a liar, a traitor and a crook. Any senator who uses the word “scumbag” 20 times a day addressing his employees is not fit to serve. Also, CBS, you went on to a segment of a Latino who was on death row (wrongfully) in a “miscarriage of justice”. The biggest “MOJ” of this decade would be for traitor and Hanoi lover McCain to continue in office after the 1998 elections. Joe L. Jordan USN Squadron VQ-1 Da Nang 1967-68 National Vietnam P.O.W. Strike Force P.S. McCain is the only returned POW NEVER TO BE DEBRIEFED. *** Source: CONTACT: THE PHOENIX PROJECT, October 27, 1997, Volume 18, Number 9, Page 10
THIS IS A TAG LINE...Exercising rights is only radical to two people, Tyrants and Slaves. Which are YOU? Our ignorance has driven us into slavery and we do not recognize it.
Sarah is easy on the eye... but dumb as a box of shit. Her opinions on McTumor are testaments to her ignorances.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
If given the chance, I’d bring a six pack of beer to his grave and pour it over. I’d pass it through my kidneys first.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I swear I will drink a 36 pack of Brew 102 so as to perform that action you mentioned. However, he is going to Arlington Cemetery on Sunday. Arlington is a well protected government cemetery from acts of comic relief, even if well deserved.
Doesn’t mean you can’t UPS a box full of human shit stuffed in ziploc baggies to the McTumor residence. Let them surviving assholes know you care.

He treated her like crap after he performed his duty to lose the election. He was loyal to those who pulled the strings.
You re wrong she is just being polite.
No, from what I read and hear he'll be going to USNA, the Naval Academy cemetery. His last wishes should be honored.
Ain’t no reason to be polite to that asshole. Regardless if he was active military or freshly dead. McTumor was the traitor asshole the passed the Steele bullshit dossier to the FBI... (then laughed with Chuck Schumer saying (“let’s see him make America great know”)...simply because Trump spoke ill of the RINO, and then beat him in the primary. McTumor deserves to die, just for doing that alone.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You voted for this POS, John McCain. Look at how he treated his own running mate, in the past and NOW! Years ago, in 2008, I told you were off on a silly tangent. Now, ten years later ... HE BANS HIS OWN PERSONALLY SELECTED RUNNING MATE FROM HIS OWN FUNERAL!
Very incredible position of the great statesman we're told to revere and remember this week. Great point, buckeroo.
John McCain was a goddamned liar about his entire life serving the People of America.
All Cindy's got is a brewery full of Budweiser.
This guy went to his grave with premeditated HATE about his fellow patriots.
