ALF Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 He was a true bipartisan , someone I really looked up to and will miss.
donbb Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 RIP Mr. McCain. I rarely agreed with his politics but he was a war hero and great family man.
Rob's House Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but I'm getting a little nauseated watching people choke on this guy's rooster. I give him the same level of respect for going to war that I give anyone else who answers the call, and no more. Otherwise, in keeping in line with my first statement, I don't have much to say about him. 1

He was one of the primary architects of the palace coup (in addition to other ills), he played an active role in boosting the dossier in the press and the Hill. Thus his legacy must be sanctified, making it a social sin to speak the truth about the "man". Pay attention to who's sanctifying him. The enemies of this nation are not hiding. They're boasting. 4

plenzmd1 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 this is an interesting article and view of McCain. In full transparency, I voted for McCain and always liked him.. https://splinternews.com/the-myth-of-john-mccain-1828587230

#34fan Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Shouldn't there be an update on this thread title?
B-Man Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 *This* is why the fawning coverage of McCain right now is infuriating. Nobody on the right is ever tolerable to the media until they are no longer capable of wielding actual power. Then they become the “good” republican to contrast with whoever is the new threat to the left. .

He would disagree about something and then explode. It was incidents of irrational behavior. We've all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I've never seen anyone act like that....He had very few friends in the Senate. He has a lot of support around the country, but I don't think he has a lot of support from people who know him well." - Senator Bob Smith Well...he does now that he's dead, Bob...
The_Dude Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Yeah! Woot Woot! He's dead. Let's all frickin celebrate. Let's all tell his family how glad we all are that he is now dead!
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 United We Stand Divided We Fall It’s time to put away party politics and unite this country and stop dividing this country! - John McCain 1
B-Man Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 What the media did to McCain and Romney in 2008 and 2012, led to people not giving a **** about character and only caring about sticking it to the Dems and Media. Thats how you get Trump, dems 1

LSHMEAB Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 I think we can safely say that Republicans have officially lost the moral high ground. That's not a bad thing. It never really made sense in the first place. A darwinian approach to governance is diametrically opposed to Christian values. Just seems as though that particular juxtaposition has crossed the Rubicon of plausibility.
