John McCain

[Popeye]

“Asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper how he wants to be remembered, McCain responded: “He served his country and not always right. Made a lot of mistakes. Made a lot of errors, but served his country. And I hope we could add honorably.””

I sometimes agreed, I sometimes did not. But I respect the man and his service to the country. Godspeed, Senator McCain.

Maybe one our last true heroes. I hope not but maybe. RIP John McCain.

When I hear McCain's name, I always envision him in his whites, on crutches, at the medal ceremony with Nixon. White House flag is reported by several sources to be at full staff this morning, 8/27.

Very sad, makes one wonder, doesn't it! Well, not really.

White House flag is reported by several sources to be at full staff this morning, 8/27.

And that's dangerously close to discussing politics. So I'll just say that the reason for that is one of the reasons I admired John McCain.

Please keep the political comments out of this thread. Thanks much.

The White House followed correct protocol per US Flag Code.

Was one of the last (mostly) honest politicians out there. I didn't always agree with him but he always seemed to speak his mind and stuck to his principals, and that I could respect.

And if nothing else he got to spend nearly all his time since diagnosis still able to participate in life and not a bedridden invalid. RIP.

I too have tremendous respect for Sen. McCain. Like everyone else, we didn't always agree, but I have the utmost respect for him. RIP Sir.

He was among the last, if not the last, politician who followed the old adage "After 5, we're all friends".
