A Republican senator says that he’s had enough of President Donald Trump’s personal attacks on the late John McCain and that “the country deserves better.”

Johnny Isakson of Georgia is quoted Wednesday as telling The Bulwark conservative news and opinion website that “nothing is more important than the integrity of the country and those who fought and risked their lives for all of us.” …

We should all contact Senator Isaacson to tell him our thoughts without being angry.

WE HAVE GOOD CAUSE TO NOT LIKE SENATOR MC CAIN.

If Trump were just continually dumping on McCain, I might see his point. But, new info about what a scumbag McCain was behind the scenes keeps coming out, and that’s what Trump is reacting to.

The Bulwark is Bill Kristol’s Democrat funded vanity blog. If anybody is dividing the GOP base it’s Isakson when he gives them an interview.

McCain may have been the first Manchurian candidate.

Memo to Johnny Isakson - be careful about hitching your name to the defense of John McCain.

You don’t know the consequences of that in the future.

Senator Isakson (R-K Street) was just fine with McCain campaigning on obamcare repeal and then stabbing his party in the back on the final vote.

Because of McCain many people are going into personal bankruptcy because Obamacare is making having healthcare that actually has coverage not huge deductibles and super expensive coverage people can’t pay for.

McCain dumped his injured wife who waited for him to come back from MIA and married a wealthy Beer Distributors daughter, and had a gold plated congressional healthcare plan so he didn’t give a rats butt about anyone of his Arizonians going bankrupt.

McCain was a A-hole , a Keating 5 crook, a guy who was responsible for a crash on the USS Forestall because he was horsing around, others were injured and the fire cost lots of money to repair.

McCain was for cheap labor which depressed working class wages, he was for endless wars, so his defense industry donors could make lots of money while our boys were injured in action or died.

Calling McCain scum is just insulting scum.

We, our children and grand kids were/have been told about the treason committed by Judas, Brutus, Benedict Arnold and Julius_and_Ethel_Rosenberg.

McCain was labeled as a traitor by many Vet Nam Vets and called Songbird.

His final acts of treason were the lies he spread trying to stop and then turn over the election of President Trump!

The attacks on McCain in general miss their target. The comments should be directed toward McCain’s traitorous misdeeds....arms and support to ISIS sympathizers, his part in the fake dossier, and his deliberately timed “no” vote on ObamaCare so he could sabotage it. etc.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Isackson is a Bush League Republican.

“nothing is more important than the integrity of the country and those who fought and risked their lives for all of us.”

Like Benedict Arnold. Horrible how he gets trashed in all the history books, after having fought and risked his life for all of us.

Well, Brutus’ actions from another perspective may have been regarded as patriotic, since he was dead-against Caesar being a dictator for life and his de-facto god-king status. Now what if he had won at Philippi against Antony and Octavius (who became Augustus)? Would Rome have been restored as a republic instead of becoming the autocratic empire?

The ‘country’ deserved better than John McCain for the pst 70 ++ years.
He was not a skilled pilot-—look up ll the damages he did when he was flying American fighter jets.

He was a spiteful little man who never got all the adulation HE thought HE deserved.
\
I actually feel sorry for his daugher.

She is championing a father—which most of us would do-—but she is totally blind to his massive failings & terry anger & jealousy.

My Dad wasn’t perfect——but he was more successful as a FATHER & a community member than John McCain EVER was.

You do like that slogan, I see. Not that I disagree.

Unfortunately, he can’t be voted out until 2022!

Apparently, too many people never knew about or have forgotten the Savings & Loan Scandal that McCain was immersed in.

Many peoplewere financially broken by that McCain mess.

Endlessly voting for the same people who have repeatedly refused to stop the invasion of our nation isn’t working out so well.

Arnold was the hero of Saratoga.
Took a bullet in the leg.
