So people you disagree with politically belong in hell?

Good to know.

McCain served his country and we can thank him for that, but he is not any better than any other politician. When he said that he knew better than the people what was good for them during the 2008 campaign, he became a swamp creature to me. I am glad I did not have him as a senator.

BS. He committed terror in Vietnam, then came back and supported the same policies in Central America.

If a man can’t be blamed for the crimes he did, AND he can’t be blamed for the illegal policies he voted and supported, then what can he blamed on?

Then why did he support the same illegal policies in Central America when he joined congress? Does he get a pass on that too?
Reagan did.

Love him or hate him or somewhere in between - McCain said it shouldn't be only the poorest of the poor that are sent to the front lines while rich young young men line up doctors to grant them 'deferments'
McCain wasn't subject to the Draft. He used family connections to keep himself out of that Democrat meat grinder, by getting a very hard to get, one he was unqualified for, position in the Naval academy. He finished dead last in his class too.

Proof enough that he was hypocrite. Thanks for the post.

Reagan was a stalwart to defeat Nixon's mission to defeat China with smog.

But, hey! We now got SmogMarts to provide us with low prices!

What in the world is Trump a-doin'?

Hey, forget me, I'm lost.

Two local CPA firms just cancelled their contracts with me.

Hey again, I just buy local.

The guy is dead and while he may have made some mistakes (because he is human), he tried to do his best for his constituents.
