Yesterday, I noted Sen. John McCain’s recent comments, where he lamented: “There are times these days when I feel that I have more in common on foreign policy with President Obama than I do with some in my own party.”

resignation isn’t to severe, SHOOTING HIM, then hanging him and then beheading him MIGHT be to severe.
BUT it’s what he deserves.
He is a worthless piece of trash and was born that way. Was his DAD as WORTHLESS as he is??
