In 2004 when The Red Sox finally won the world series my daughter called the instant the last game ended and we were both in tears because my father and uncle were no longer around to see it.

OMG - that was a night! There were people with heart conditions whose cardiologists told them not to watch that game. There were widows taking balloons and flowers to cemeteries when the Red Sox won. That a night.

Re McCain and his outlook. Not good. Glioblastoma is a bad diagnosis. At McCain's age, it's all over.

He probably doesn’t know how to do that. His minions will take control.

My dad before he was diagnosed with a glio was bad with communications months before that time.

We thought he had a minor stroke.

“At McCain’s age, it’s all over”

Probably any age.

It was exactly 6 months for my 49 year old cousin. Very tough to watch.

I predict there will be more than a few of those on this, and related threads, in the coming days.

FACTOID: Of the 110 longest serving people in Congress (36 years or more) only 30% of them were Republicans. 70% were Democrats.

Dems prefer to stick around for a loooooong time.... so I guess McCain will stick around to the end.

Kelli Ward almost primaried McCain last year. She would be a good possibility to consider for his seat. Does the daughter even live in AZ? Thankful that Meghan is too young.

Not to be off subject,but my sweet son in law of 30 years old was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor 3 years ago! Just saying it happens to all of of us.Ryan life just started but still working everyday and going strong!
Cancer effects all our lives in one way or another but hurts when it’s one of your own! God love My Ryan! Still fighting on and providing a very good living for my Daughter and their two young children without any government help! They pay their own way because they work hard at keeping their home! We’ve all dealt with this, and without any handouts or national attention! We all are equal in cancer but not when it comes to paying this when you are face with terminal inoperable cancer of the brain!

Not trying to be insensitive to McCain but the irony is ...
Many of us are dealing with this! God Bless but the struggle is real about paying the medical bills among working people!

My friend's husband died of glioblastoma in AZ. They wrote a letter to McCain begging for his help. He advised them to move.

What a perfectly obvious leftist lie. Exactly what sort of help was McCain supposed to provide? Glioblastoma is not currently curable. Also, why on earth would McCain advise someone suffering from terminal cancer to leave Arizona?

It didn't happen.

Leftists love their phony oppressor/victim narratives.

Meghan is a LOT MORE Conservative than her dad!

You've obviously never had to suffer through John McCain's nonstop BS commercials two months out from a primary. He's Rock-Ribbed!

.@SenJohnMcCain is a hero to our Conference and a hero to our country.

May I be excused? I think I need to barf.

I might point out he did serve this country in war

There are some who would disagree with that statement, but I won't go there tonight.

"Meghan is a LOT MORE conservative than her dad."

You're absolutely correct. I would say the preponderance of her positions are in line with conservative thoughts. This is not to say that she's a rock-ribbed conservative, she errs bigly on some things...but she IS consistently to the right of her father on MOST issues.

Yes, at any age. But younger people get a little bit longer. Older, not so much.

I hate people who feel that they need to make flowery undeserved statements because someone is ill.

Hypocrisy comes naturally to McConnell.

But isn’t there a good chance this is just one metastasis? I’m not trying to be ghoulish but I think he’s had a couple of other melanomas removed in last couple of years, wondering how far it spread.

I don’t know what happened to make him vote with the democrats so often, but prayers are needed for his comfort and support during the chemo and radiation.
