Just heard that he's stopping treatment. I always thought he was a tough man, and a decent politician willing to work with others to get the job done. I hope his final days are filled with family and pain free.
 
The good news is someone will be appointed after his death to go back to work for the US of A. I was perplexed why McCain didn't give his spot up when he couldn't do the job. It's looking better for judge Cavanaugh to get appointed.

He certainly did it his way. He didn't prostitute himself to the system.

I've felt the same way, and I feel that if you're running for office other than your current role you should step down. How much attention can you give to the job at hand when you're constantly schmoozing and stumping along the trail?

Well our view of him is certainly different.

I'm told he was the only POW in North Vietnam who gained weight while a prisoner. hmmmmm

I think you might be reading more into that than is there. He was often wandering alone out in the weeds. However unproductive that was - and it was, we saw that during his run for president with the nitwit from Alaska - my only comment is that he was not one of the lemmings following the Pied Piper.
 
You guys are brutal, McCain wasn't a draft dodger, he was a POW, he served the country and now he's on his death bed. He wasn't perfect and not one of my favorites but dang it.

I agree with that. I just looked at a YouTube of him being loaded on a ship after his prison term was over. He didn't look fat in that video. He appears to be a broken man in that video.

I swear it wasn't me. I have never flagged a post. I figure if I cannot handle what is posted here, I should find a babysitter!!!
 
It was on the Chicago shootings and and was no less offensive than the comment on the nitwit from Alaska and never thought it was political, nor do I think that comment was political, some folks just have a thinner line.

Thanks. I don't even remember that thread. I don't think I opened it.
 
He was a POW and is to be honored for that and his military service.
But that does not excuse his later actions.
As was often said about him--he was a loose cannon on deck. Unpredictable and you never could know which side of the bed he was going to get up on.
Could never really tell what or who he was for or against.
