We lost a good one yesterdat. RIP John McCain
Don't always agree with him, but never doubted him.
Rest Your Oar, sir ~ |
Yes we did, a true patriot and dedicated to his country, we could use more like him. Would have been interesting to travel back in time and see what might have happened with a different running mate in try number two. It’s a shame more aren’t willing to work across the isle as he was, not to mention the willingness to show respect to all his peers, regardless of the differences of opinions.

We sure did.... RIP u earned it

two of my favorites in the political world were Krauthammer and McCain. tough couple of months. i don’t see either being replaced, ever.
didn’t always agree with his votes, but man it was hard not to admire the guy. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
In typical “small man” fashion, Trump nixed the staffs prepared speech intended to praise McCain for his heroism and dedication, instead issuing a short tweet. Even in his death Trump wanted nobody to upstage him, no mention of his name in the recent bill he championed and little else on his passing, there’ character for you.

RIP - a man who dedicated his whole life to the service of our country.

I was going to vote for him before he picked Palin. Great man.
Trumps treatment of him has been beyond reproach. Team deplorable. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

I might say reprehensible, deplorable or infantile |
Trump has already put the flags back to full height, McCain got one full day at half mast, great way to honor a true patriot.

No you were not ; ) . We argued this at length ; ) Trump's treatment of McCain all along has been terrible. I have read it goes back to the 90s when Trump wanted a several hundred mil federal loan WRT HUD / Development and McCain, as part of his Congressional duties said it was a bad idea to give DT that much money for development (agree).

Thank You for your Service Sir
Gotta love it, JohnR starts a thread about McCain's passing and some people just couldn't NOT make it about Trump. you know, a quick RIP, T&P's or "Thank you for your Service" would have sufficed. |
God rest his soul.
A true American who cared greatly about his country and was passionate about his beliefs. I did not always agree with him and his choices but it was good to have him voice his opinions and viewpoints RIP Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

In true Trump fashion, he ordered the flag up, Congress busts him on that, it goes down and Trump declares the flag will fly at half mast until his entournment; he saved the day again.

I'm sure it was a celebration up there when McCain was welcomed home. When I think of him the last few days, I keep thinking of an Irish blessing often said for people who spent their lives serving others. May the road rise up to meet you. May forever the wind be at your back, The sun shine warmly upon your face, The rains fall gently upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands. |

No I posted the right link. Did you, as usual, take off your thinking cap, and put on your tin foil cap, when you watched it? Yes, you did. You tell me what point Obama was trying to make. And you can google 100 articles of media making an issue of McCain's age, folks who I'll bet year's pay won't say the same thing if Biden runs again. |
Quote:
Yes - McCain is gonna kill us all, War Monger, We're all gonna Die, he is a rascist. Bet they'll say how honest Romney was and a guiding light and all that when it is his turn. |

"Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change. He has shown a cool head and sound judgment. We believe he has the will and the ability to forge the broad political consensus that is essential to finding solutions to this nation’s problems. In the same time, Senator John McCain of Arizona has retreated farther and farther to the fringe of American politics, running a campaign on partisan division, class warfare and even hints of racism. His policies and worldview are mired in the past." |

John McCain chose George Bush and Barack Obama to speak at his funeral, not Sarah Palin and Donald Trump.
That ought to tell you something. |

that mccain forgave obama, doesn’t mean obama didn’t hit him below the belt. it just means McCain was the better man. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

i also mentioned the media. endlessly saying he was too old, too much of a hawk on national defense. and the NYT running a front page story that he was a philanderer. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
