Boogieman Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Now that he's dead I wonder if he'll make it official and register as a democrat. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyzz Kydd Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 I never cared for the man, with the exception of his wartime service he always seemed to be all about himself, but I wouldn’t wish that death on anyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I never wished death on him, but he was hurting America on several levels and I'm relived that we have one really bad Rino less. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) I respect everybody who serves or served this great country, but there are a few actions that not only equalize but diminish and even destroy such a legacy. In my book, he did much more harm to our own people as a whole than any enemy he was facing. I also call him a bully for sticking around so long, just to block changes that people have voted in favor for. But that's just my opinion and I'd lie if I would claim to be sad.

Silentpoet Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I do know how quick cancer can take a loved one. Other than that I will refrain from speaking I’ll of the dead for now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I am not going to go into politics, etc. with regards to McCain. Instead, peace to him and his family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I will refrain from speaking I’ll of the dead for now. My uncle died of brain cancer when he was 46 back in the 80s. I was 13 and the one who spent most time with him. Every afternoon I walked over to the hospice. His case took about a year altogether. I watched him losing his vision in both eyes, I walked him through town to get out, I became his eyes, I watched him losing memory, I watch him losing bodily functions, he begged me to take him away from the place where he was supposed to die, and I didn't even have a driver license or car. My parents had been busy fighting all day long, and I had to figure out how to deal with all this by myself. This year shaped me for the rest of my life. An aggressive cancer is a hard pill for all involved. I know all to well how you feel about this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But God bless him; what a hellish way to die. We just buried a friend's seven year old daughter who died of the same thing. He sure did live an interesting life!

I agree with everything you've said. Cancer is a horrible disease and I've seen people die from it and I've seen the toll it takes on families and I would never wish it on anyone and I'm sorry for his family but I can't honestly say that I'm sorry that he died. He represented a state where there were areas that had been taken over by drug smugglers and human traffickers and it was so bad that landowners could no longer live on their own property but he fought against efforts to secure the border. Maybe this is not the time to say things like that but for the next couple of weeks all wer'e going to hear is what a great man he was so don't mind me if I disagree. I respect what he endured during the war but for the rest of his life he was an establishment politician of the worst kind. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCain has always been a punk. A guy from my little home town was the longest held Marine in Vietnam. He escaped twice and was recaptured both times. Ssgt Richard Burgess. The only captives kept longer than him were airmen shot down before Richard was captured. Thanks to your dad for his service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost doctor Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I don't wish death or suffering on ANYONE. But the fact still remains that sen mccain was a TRUMP hater, a gun hater, and a RINO of the lowest order. And you just can't rewrite history. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
