Cruel comments towards a man who served his country with distinction speaks volumes of those who post them.

How fitting that the traitor John McCain will die as an angry and bitter man with President Donald J. Trump in the white house.

I am now 70, and Senator McCain interceded in behalf of one of my best ESL students, a man from West Africa, now a proud American citizen, living here in the U.S. He is eternally grateful someone championed him. And Mc Cain is a hero to our family. That said - I also remember the eloquence of John F.Kennedy, I look back on Barack Obama, and I wonder why we have turned into such a nasty-mouthed, vituperative country? Senator McCain is merely stating the obvious...Many have become litigious, racist, confrontational. As I teacher, I observe as well: a kind collective dumbing down: nobody can write or spell any longer. It's all text-talk. Oh, well...Maybe my Italian granny was right: the fish stinks from the head. Then, could it be..the person we elected to represent us all? Just sayin'...

I once thought you a great man. I lost respect for you 10 years ago. I am not impressed by you, nor your daughter. You remind me of my mother. Loud with mouth, extreme covetness. No humility or wherewithal.

This man has served his country with such honor. Always thinking about what’s good for the country not just his “party”. Even when I didn’t agree with him, I always still admired him. He would’ve made a good President. In is private life he seems to also be quite a remarkable man. Few people have a such a lengthy career of integrity being their guiding principle in its entirety.

He’s no different from my adoptive mother, they played a role. Then cancer made them crazy.

Dear Senator MCCAIN,
My prayers are with you! You are a true American HERO! As a soldier, you fought for your country! As a POW, your strength kept other men alive! As a politician, you served the American people extremely effectively and morally. You've lived an HONORABLE life! You will be remembered - by history and by Americans like me - for being the inspiration you are! TY Senator - for your bravery, your service, your leadership and your dignity! Please be peaceful in the weeks and months to come. Those who are 'less than' shall be forgotten. But you shall be appreciated, mourned and memorialized for many generations to come! Bless you and thank you!
Sincerely,
Seth W Wallace, PhD,
A Grateful American

Been in dc for way too long. Poster boy for term limits and out of touch with constituents. He’s on his way out. Hopefully Az will do better next time around: shouldn’t be hard.

I’m not going to be an accessory to bad mouthing my president.

[tammierose-kirk]

Reminds me of the poltergeist preacher...

Hope you get better I’m not against you but you should not judge no one!
