A patriot and warrior, decorated and remembered for his service and his time as a POW. Sometimes a horrible man and horrible senator and backstabber and nut. May the Lord almighty receive his soul in redemption.

I respect and thank him for his military service. I can't say much positive about his political career, but I also won't speak ill of the dead. I'll just say RIP and pray for his family.

Thank you for his service, prayers for his family.
As a politician, I am glad he is no longer a US Senator.

Huffington Post remembers the younger John McCain like Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger and George W. Bush. A war criminal.

I guess you could say this is a piece that might make you think better of him.

The latest update on the memorial is one of the biggest brow-raisers yet: along with former vice president Joe Biden and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, openly liberal Academy Award winner Warren Beatty will serve as a pallbearer in Saturday's services at Washington National Cathedral.

They apparently worked together on campaign finance reform.

His list of pallbearers is a mix from both sides of the aisle, just like life. They don't get more conservative than former Sen. Phil Gramm.

If McCain had won the presidency in 2012, then re-elected in 2016....Sarah Palin would now be President of the United States.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Doubtful. She couldn't even finish out her term as Gov. of Alaska. :roll:

If he had won the nomination in 2012, I doubt he would have picked her as a running mate.

That’s what I get for copying a remark from some other site without checking accuracy first. McCain ran in 2008. :headscratch

It's a shame he didn't retire a few years ago so he could focus on his health and enjoy time with his family.

I was always taught that in situations like this "if you can't say nothin' nice, don't say nothin' at all."

Thus I have remained silent on the subject. :tiphat:
