That is not my logic. My logic is based on observation and some knowledge of Brain Chemistry (very little) and personal observation of POWs. In McCains earlier years in the navy abd as a Senator he was patriotic. As time progressed and the trauma of the POW camp and other personal illness =es crept in then storme. He changed He moved away from the foundation he had to the soft squishiness he developed in the latter oart oif his career and life. I honor the first and forgive the latter. I'm not saying it was good and that he was always patriotic, I'm saying I and an individual forgive the latter portion of his life because of the former part of his life.
I do not ask anyone to take my same position. I don't really expect too many to even understand it. I have not walked in your shoes and you have not walked in mine.

Yeah, and he took the bait, the sucker McCain is.

When someone is elected, takes an oath, and uses the office for his own wealth and power while destroying the savings and liberty of the people he is supposed to represent he is a traitor. No exaggeration.

John McCain
We don’t say his name, John M
Traitor/Pawn
John Sidney McCain III is an American politician serving as the senior United States Senator from Arizona since 1987. He was the Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election, which he lost to Barack Obama. ISIS collaborator and traitor. https://www.google.com/search?q=mccai...
His role in accusing Trump of Russian Collusion from his mouth.

He as a US Senator who knowingly took the bait from a foreign intelligence (spy) Recieving false inflammatory lies written and compiled by a foreign spy to influence a US Presidential election and presidency. A piece of shit in my book.

Sen. John McCain provides intimate details of how he obtained the infamous so-called Steele dossier in his new book, "The Restless Wave."

The Republican senator was attending an annual security conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia shortly after the presidential election in November 2016 when retired a British diplomat approached him.

According to McCain, he didn't recall ever having a previous conversation with Sir Andrew Wood, but may have met him before in passing. Chris Brose, a staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and David Kramer, a former assistant secretary of state with Russian expertise, joined McCain and Wood in a room off the main conference hall.

After discussing Russian election interference for a few minutes, Wood explained why he'd approached McCain in the first place.


"He told me he knew a former MI6 officer by the name of Christopher Steele, who had been commissioned to investigate connections between the Trump campaign and Russian agents as well as potentially compromising information about the President-elect that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin allegedly possessed," McCain wrote.

Wood told McCain that Steele had compiled a report, while careful to note the information was unverified, which the former British spy "strongly believed merited a thorough examination by counterintelligence experts."

"Our impromptu meeting felt charged with a strange intensity," McCain wrote. "No one wise-cracked to lighten the mood. We spoke in lowered voices. The room was dimly lit, and the atmosphere was eerie."

He should not have run for reelection.

There is no reason to say that McCain was a patriot who kept his country's best interest in mind.

He was a stellar example in his early years but he has changed.

If your logic holds, then everyone who ever had a stint as a patriot would qualify.

McCain undermined GOP efforts in the past years. Her did so only for his personal glory.

We clearly have different opinions about Sen. McCain. HIs last years have been a disappointment to me but his action in VietNam and his early years in the Senate indicate what he was capable of. I grant you his last five to 7 years have not been anywhere near his potential. I blame some but not all on two things. first his deteriorated condition and loosing the Presidential election.

FFA please be careful and circumspect when using the term traitorous. It is used far to loosly in todays world of hyperbole and personal attack.

That repulsive traitorous looting old $%^&*.
He hasn't had a worthwhile thought in 30 years.
His brain hasn't worked in 50 years and yet the disgusting traitor still hasn't retired. He just keeps on stealing from Americans, a GOP Jimmy Carter.
Even the Vietnamese kicked him out.
