McCain was a self-serving bum. Good Riddance.

Well, I don't agree with the former, but you can guarantee Democrats never voted for the guy, and despised him, until he voted for the Lie that was the ACA, then they still would not have voted for him. He did bring pork home to his state. I voted for him every time he ran, but like Flake he would have never won again in Az. Sinema is a better Senator.

i dont denigrate mccains service to the country in the military. however i WILL go after him for his political service to the country, as that is where he dishonored himself many times over. like mot politicians he did what was in his best interests, not the countries best interests, regardless of who it hurt.

FWIW, having served does not automatically give one a pass to be a POS for their remaining years...especially if they sold out their fellow vets...multiple times.
Yes, but not one evaded serving his country on a lie.

The worthless treasonous scum came to campaign in my state of Colorado and asked for our water and our vote.

He returned to Arizona with neither.

The way the media and the democrat party treated his gorgeous running mate is the way they themselves should be treated.

I hate when that happens, every time.

Thank you for your service and for your call to accountability.

Decent on domestic policy, horrible on foreign policy. it's always about policy, nothing else matters.

I to respect his military service, and his personal life wasnt a total train wreck like some of the others these days, but he gave us Obamacare, and that is his legacy.

I lost my Doctors, lost my Aetna healthcare insurance I was happy with, my family was w/o coverage for 3 years because I refused to pay 2x the cost for 1/2 the coverage w/ huge deductibles.

I can't forgive McCain for that. Terrible politician imho that I couldn't believe AZ kept re-electing him.

He stayed way too long.

Kerry, McCain and now Vindman. The GOP`s war on veterans continues and it`s being lead by General Bone Spur. They are shameless traitors are they not?

You didn't have much "respect" for him when he was running against Obama. Plenty more from you on that.
