John McCain
John McCain died on Saturday evening.
What a life, by any measure.
A captured prisoner (which is highly honorable, no matter what the Orange dude thinks).
He also ran for president and lost, but he only lost my vote when he brought Sarah Palin around.
I, most certainly, did not agree with all sides of the agenda, but I think that he was a fundamentally decent human being.
When he was running for president, a person that he met in a forum asked him a question about Obama being an Arab.
McCain stopped it right there.
When Obama won the nomination, McCain called to congratulation him.
He championed repealing and replacing The Affordable Care Act. He was very vocal, but when the healthcare bill was presented...
...he punted.
Because it was a lousy piece of legislation.
A move that has been mimicked because he gave a thumbs-down sign.
Was a good political message when it appeared that there was no heart at all in the plan.
He also talked tough in some cases and caved and then voted the other way. That would drive me absolutely crazy.
But, how can anyone ever try and minimize his service.
He had a family.
He battled the brain cancer in a high-profile way.
And in his last few months. He didn’t hold anything back. He unloaded on Trump whenever he got the chance.
Cause it was the right choice.
John McCain did an awful lot right, in a pretty cramped life.
He will get a huge send-off and you’ll see ‘Maverick’ tossed out there about a thousand times.
He deserves the accolades. There’s never been a politician who’s done everything right, but the man spent 5 and a half years as a prisoner of war.
The flag should be a half-mast.
(Talk about disrespecting the flag!)
May he Rest In Peace.
