Read yesterday he'd stopped treatment so knew this was coming... really wasn't expecting it so soon

      He went through quite a bit for his country.

SALUTE!!!

Salute!

A nice man - and a nice politician, which is less often. Heard from Europe down here, a welcome voice from America has fallen silent.

Sorrow...

See you on the other side McCain.  He was a great guy.  I had the pleasure of meeting him 25 years ago when I worked for Flagstaff.  He was in it for the people and the country and not fame and fortune.  Sad that the NITH is disrespecting him by not keeping the flag lowered or issuing a proclamation.

RIP!

It really is petty childish BS that is the position of the current administration. Senator McCain should have been afforded every consideration in his passing. Being from Arizona myself I wouldn't have even cared if they sent the bill to Arizonians. He was a man of integrity, honesty, strong character, down to earth, and humble. Qualities most in government don't care about. It's get elected and leave your morals at home. Very sad.

RIP great hero.  A very quotable Senator, his memoirs should be required reading for all whom love freedom.

Snailman i wish your Putler hadn't involved in world politics. Especially not in Ukraine and I wish he gone as soon as possible.
