McCain was not "well meaning", he followed wrong principles and wielded power for his own purposes, pretending to have higher character, which the narcissist probably believed himself.

Obamacare is not gone because most Republicans are pandering to its constituency (and because Roberts also has no principles -- he's the goofball who wanted to play 'clever' in rationalizing it with a bizarre argument that makes no sense here in reality).

The Republican legislation would not have repealed Obamacare, it partially replaced it with their own statism, weakening some of it, with some provisions that were worse. It followed Trump's pitch replacing "repeal" with "repeal and replace". McCain blocked it out of revenge against Trump, but it wasn't repeal that he blocked, and of course he did nothing else himself to try to repeal it.

I nominate you for Non Politically Correct Person of the Year award. Thanks for saying it.

Hope they both get the same pineapple enema every day as as Hitler.

I'll be glad when Fox News ceases to honor the now late John McCain because me dino no longer cares to even look at his face all that much.

McCain is THE reason Obamacare is not gone, putting revenge ahead of right. Chief circus-justice Roberts is the second reason, probably cowing to some threat from O-douche that we will never know.

I liked McCain when he ran for POTUS, but he blew it with his choice of running mate.

I agree that McCain was a patriot and a man of great determination. The problem is he was often on the wrong side of things because he didn't plumb the depths. He was shallow in his approach so that too often he was willing to die on a hill to nowhere. He was a new homeowner who bought the place because he liked the paint job. And he'd defend his decision to the nth degree.He may have been well-meaning, but he could never succeed to the degree that Trump can..

Fox News stated that McCain's cancer started two years ago, I was emailing letters through his website ( I live in AZ) about that time and received form-letters in return. This made me very angry and sent an email to McCain's and Flake's office that as one of their constituents that I deserved a personal letter in return. I never received an email letter in return. I'm perturbed that McCain basically died in office and had not retired so others could run for his seat in our up-coming Primary/Local elections. Now Arizonans have to wait and see who is going to fill his Senate seat by Gov. D. Ducey. The Gov. is okay but not very politically astute and I'm hoping he will choose someone who represents Az. Flake really doesn't represent Az. He likes publishing about government wasteful spending which does nothing for Az constituents. Flake is a Flake.

The key word is establishment and many are corrupt and resigning "Drain the Swamp"

absolutely right. He needed to resign and use his time for good things instead of hating Trump for calling him out on milking his pow status.

I agree. He milked that war hero stuff for all it was worth.

I thought Obamacare should just be repealed. Things were much better before Obamacare took over, and replacing it with some other useless government program wasnt right. BUT, you needed 60 senate votes to do that, and democrats wouldnt break ranks. So here we are stuck with insurance we cant afford to buy, and certainly cant afford to use.

Totally agree. I have refused to listen to all that adulation on the news channels about McCain. They are just trying to look politically correct, but its disgusting.

Mc Cain HATED Trump with a passion. He became driven by that hatred, and he needed to quit the senate at that point willingly. Fortunately, he is out of the senate now, through no choice of his.

I think McCain tried to milk sympathy from people , using his torture to play on emotional guilt that people would feel towards him and elevate him to a godlike position.

Trump called him out with his statement about preferring people who did NOT get captured, and McCain responded with true hatred for Trump no matter what happened after that. We are stuck with Obamacare as a result of McCain's hatred.

I think he milked the torture he endured for all it ws worth. He expected to be adored because he got shot down and captured and tortured. A good soldier doesnt get captured, or if he is captured, he finds a way to escape. Once he didnt get the adulation he expected, he became hateful.

I am thinking that in the absence of exonerating data, all the members of the establishment are crooked and unprincipled.

Mc Cain promoted sacrifice as the highest goal, so that people would elevate him to a higher position because of HIS torture at the hands of the enemy. I happen to agree with Trump. I do prefer soldiers who didnt get captured, over ones that did get captured.

He turned very vindictive and hateful and let that get in the way of being a good senator. Trump called him out for milking his POW status, and McCain hated him to the bottom of his soul after that.

Exactly, he got called out y Trump for milking sympathy out of people and elevating him to "hero" status. I dont think that a "hero" is one who gets shot down and then sustains torture from the enemy. A hero soldier would be one who DID something to save his company, or who won a battle, or who evaded capture- not one who got captured and sat around while being tortured.

I wont miss him at all. He was a man who made his whole life about people feeling sorry for his experiences as a pow. He milked it for all it was worth, and when Trump called him out on it, he allowed his personal hatred to erupt and poison his good judgment.

Trump's statement might have been a bit unnecessary, but I kind of agree that a hero is really not one who was captured and tortured by another country. That takes no heroism at all. You just sit there and be tortured.

john McCain was part of the "Keating Five" back in 1985...a dishonest politician who covered up for Charles Keating and the Savings & Loan collapse in the mid-80s. I met him while I was still in the Air Force as my last commander was a 7 year POW with McCain and McCain was asked to speak with us about his and my commander's experience in the Hanoi Hilton. I think we went thru numerous kegs of suds in the basement of the officer's club that day and evening.

A petty man who lied to his constituents regularly and who after campaigning against Obamacare, voted not to eliminate Obamacare because he didn't like Trump. Interesting the he and Kennedy died on the same day of the same thing. Wonder if the both cavort with the devil together now.

I fully agree with you.

I was always questioning his "hero" status since there were never any specifics added to justify it other than him being tortured. Trump had it right when he said he preferred "those who were not captured" which of course was received by howls how insensitive he was.

McCain's actions in Vietnam, choosing to remain a prisoner, do not indicate any good that he was capable of. He sacrificed himself for the sake of sacrifice. https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...
