John McCain: 'This Is My Last Term'
Newser ^ | May 1, 2018 | Polly Davis Doig

Posted on 05/01/2018 9:34:50 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Facing down an aggressive brain tumor that's kept him out of Washington for months, John McCain appears to be taking a hard look at his own mortality vis-a-vis his forthcoming book, The Restless Wave. "This is my last term," he writes in excerpts out now, via NPR and the Daily Beast. "If I hadn't admitted that to myself before this summer, a stage 4 cancer diagnosis acts as ungentle persuasion. I'm freer than colleagues who will face the voters again. I can speak my mind without fearing the consequences much."

On President Trump: "He has declined to distinguish the actions of our government from the crimes of despotic ones. The appearance of toughness, or a reality show facsimile of toughness, seems to matter more than any of our values."

The quote in the excerpted are complete rubbish.
It must must be morphine.

They're going to let him die a rambling lunatic.

Methinks Johnny McSwamp better forget about his book and start heading the warnings of the Good Book before it’s too late.

Eternity is a long time Senator.

I can speak my mind without fearing the consequences much.

This slimy traitor should have thought about that when he was ratting out his fellow prisoners at the hanoi hilton. Every one of his fellow prisoners hate mcpain because he was a traitor.

God will be the judge.

Admitting he either lies or withholds information from voters when he has to face the voters? Unlike Trump, who is honest all the time, yet McCain attacks him and then imitates him?? Sad.

"McCain is an ass. He just can’t help himself."

Even to the end he's a selfish bore.

Why does McLame think that anyone cares about his deathbed musings and thoughts? I guess he plans to remain an egomaniac to the end.

Put your own house and spiritual house in order, Juan. You should have retired from public life years ago.

It will be kept well watered.

Good riddance! Notice how he says he can openly betray the people who elected him now.
