| Sure, I'll wear that one. Better than being cynical and negative on the guy during the week of his mourning.... |

Sorry I don't do crocodile tears. McCain died like he lived, fiery and controversal. In the words of the great Bill Belichec.."it is what it is" |

He took a lot of hate with him to the grave, not a very dignified way to check out. |
Exactly, the message is LOUD and clear that any dissenting voice in the Republican party is NOT welcome. You either roll with Hannity, or you get rolled... |
He lied to his constituents and then voted against his own words for the previous 6 years.....ALL FOR SPITE AND NOTHING ELSE.. |

| I disagree. As Mac states, Johnny Mac thought the process was rushed, with ZERO alternative, which is true! In fact, tRumps solution is old school major medical policies, also known as "junk" policies, which cover nothing.... Welcome to the 1970's.. |

The fact that both Matty and Malibu spoke despairingly of him sort of makes the case that he was, indeed, an honorable man. You guys are completely clueless and that is truly sad.
RIP Senator McCain. |
CB, you've gone full blown moron. My comment was about the media brainwashing and re-characterization of McCain.
But since you ask, he died a vindictive asshole, and lived a great and heroic life. He even banned Sarah Palin from his funeral. Class act. Maybe blame it on the brain cancer, but his family should have stepped in and set him straight. Palin ALWAYS RESPECTED HIM. |
Hmm, well before the vote on the dismantling of health care, Trump had disparaged McCain's status as a hero. Coming from captain bone spurs, that was a true display of Trump's lack of character.
What McCain said about the health care legislation is that it was rushed through without going through the proper procedures. It was poorly conceived and drafted, and just another attempt by McConnell--the most evil man on the landscape--to damage the poor and reward the rich. I guess Matty missed that.
McCain was too hawkish for my taste, and his selection of Palin, and the tenor of much of his Presidential campaign, was appalling. But he was steadfast and brave, and not a pimp like the current POTUS. How sad that half the Republicans don't care. |
McCain was an attention hog and loved the drama.......thats the way it goes. We all agree he was a Great American , but that does not exclude him from criticism. |

I agree, but its typical and petty , and quite predictable that the Hannity crowd would focus on the negative , and knock Democrats who admired him...It's no wonder that 5 Million minions a night tune into the gibberish.
Tank Bud's-check
Watch Hannity- check
Load up on talking points for future debates- check, check.... |

Can you make me a list of the last 5 stories retracted by Hannity???????????
I can make you one for CNN who still refuses to retract the Lanny Davis lies from last weekend. |

from the LA times last year
McCain’s odd definition of ‘leading the fight to stop Obamacare’ (National Review)
This article is simple – it’s a quick compare-and-contrast of McCain’s recent comments versus his vote on Friday.
Last year, during a tough reelection, McCain’s campaign ran a television ad that boasted the senator is “leading the fight to stop Obamacare.”
But last night his office put out a statement noting the GOP Senate bill did not offer a “replacement to actually reform our health care system and deliver affordable, quality health care to our citizens.”
The author of this piece, Jim Geraghty, concludes: “It’s very difficult to characterize McCain’s decision as ‘leading the fight to stop Obamacare.’ That’s more like leading the fight to keep Obamacare in place while you continue to look for a replacement that you like better.” |
