McCain ending brain cancer treatment
The Hill ^ | August 24, 2018 | JORDAIN CARNEY

Posted on 08/24/2018 8:27:07 AM PDT by Albion Wilde

"In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment," McCain's family said in a statement released by his office.

Knew it was bad when McCain’s people didn’t pop off after the Manafort/Cohen nonsense.

I see no difference here today with some these hate posts and Elizabeth Warren comments on the Mollie. You are in one mind with the Democratic leadership. Al Sharpton must be your guiding light.

Our concern is for our country. This man has stood in the way of our Constitution and our president for too long by delaying his retirement and purposely trying to manipulate the choice of a successor, something Rod Blagojevich is doing time for. He threw his campaign for president into the hands of the Usurper's cabal by ego-tripping and suspending his campaign. His people savaged Sarah Palin. He baited-and-switched Arizona voters and the American people over border control. Like his friends the Senate Democrats, George Soros and the mainstream media, he has for many years espoused opposite sides of many issues, depending on who is president. If you want us to respect your sentimentality over impending death, which to a Christian should be a moment of rejoicing, kindly extend our well-earned resentments a little respect as well.

“No comment.”

Well, dfw gator, no comment here too. I would comment to only inquire if there was a resignation letter submitted?

Hey, about that World Cup?

My mom told me to never speak ill of the dying.

But I always ignore her. Die, painfully, you globalist anti-American vapid uber-vain creepy petty grudge-holding evil ISIS-backing warmongering piece of s***.

It’s difficult to describe just how much I despise McCain and everything he has done with the exception of just a very few things.

The fact that he knew he would never go back to work for the people as a senator but didn’t retire makes me loathe him even more. McCain has extremely few good qualities. He was never a “hero”; he was an opportunist who made the best out of unfortunate events that he caused in the first place. Not a hero ever.

John was trying to hold on until his dream of seeing POTUS Trump Impeached. That is what has kept him alive this long.

Guy should have retired decades ago to spend some time with his family but still I feel bad for him and his family. (Even though he was a War Mongering sociopath)

You’re busy preaching all over the Net today.

In agreement. He was a nasty, self-serving backstabber for all of his career. And obviously even the prospect of death didn’t change this. Hence his shenanigans with not giving up his seat for health reasons.

For some reason, this classic old song immediately comes to mind...

       "Go, Johnny, Go! (Johnny B. Goode)" - Chuck Berry

#1 That is great photo.
It can be used for all the democrat leaders too.

Perhaps there are many others who think the same but are silent.

I’m not a fan, either. I wish he’d retired two decades ago to enjoy his declining years as a private citizen. (You, too, Sen. Orrin Hatch!)
