McCain’s memorial remembrances were filled with themes of unity, inclusion, and compromise. They stressed how McCain was someone who could reach across the aisle, find consensus, and put differences aside to bring people together for the greater good.
It’s too bad McCain’s final actions contradicted that message...
Senator McCain had a perfect opportunity to be the “maverick” of his reputation. He could have been the unifier. He could have done the right thing by allowing even those he had unresolved issues with, differences with, to come and pay their respects and to honor him. He could have shown the country, not just in words but in action, that no matter how great the differences we have with one another, we can move beyond them, beyond the anger, bitterness, pain, even our own pride and ego, to come together to do what is best for America.
John McCain could have done all these noble things. But he didn't.

I agree.
I agree McCain was a jerk.
Unfortunately for us, he believed his own fawning Press which magnified the damage he caused while in Office.
When the Hero stuff comes up, I always ask the same question. Can the people lauding him as a Hero because he was in the Hanoi Hilton name the other Heroes that were imprisoned with him? Of course they can’t, those Men didn’t serve their purpose.
I remember visiting Friends in Phoenix years ago, I’m driving there and I hear John McCain on the Radio being interviewed by a Local Talk Show before his Reelection.
Based on McCain’s comments, you would have thought the guy was interviewing Ronald Reagan. McCain was such a phony.
Pray for love, kindness, forgiveness, redemption, and blessings for everyone--now--not at the final hour. Pray that the heart be cleansed of such evils before it's too late.
How horrible to die with a heart filled with such evils!
Pray for Senator McCain. Even now, redemption is possible.
He was a thoroughly evil, nasty, monster with no redeeming values.
He was probably holding out for a deal with Ducy to get one of
his Clan appointed to the seat. The fact that he did not retire
tells me he was unsuccessful in that effort.
I will be really surprised if one of his Clan gets that seat.
DITTO, PERFECT words for McShame I could not have said it better myself, you expressed my thoughts COMPLETELY!!!! I DISPISED this DISPICABLE piece of human flesh!!! This BASTARD campaigned on repealing OCARE promised his constituents he would fight to get it repealed, THEN just to show his HATRED of Trump flew all the way back to DC just to stick a knife in Trump and OUR backs!!! HE LOST the POTUS election AND WE ALL deserved the shaft from him, because HE LOST!!! What a TOTAL POS!!!
LOL...maybe poster meant ‘his fetid corpse is being feted’.
I had to hold my nose and Vote Against Obama the best way I could.
Hey. Eff you and the horse you hump each nite
Don’t blame us for that prick
Yankees
You’re just asshats by nature aren’t ya
No different than most of McCains dna
If you think McAmnesty’s funeral was a shitshow.... wait until Hillary or Bubba goes belly up. It is going to be beyond sickening.
McCain was a useful idiot for the left. He did his job.
Nice message you sent to Senator McConnell. This should be the beginning of a campaign to stop the renaming of the Senate Office Building for McCain.
Senator Robert Dole does sound like a much better choice.
OK, I have come to the conclusion that Meghan McCain didn’t want The President there so she could bash him. She doesn’t have the guts to say it face to face.
:-)-—Amazing the difference that ONE simple letter can do to change the meaning of a word.
.
As I just said, No one in that Cathedral today has the guts to say what they did to the President’s face.
He wouldn't have a funeral like this if he had resigned.
Ted Kennedy did the same thing -- stayed in until the day he died and got a massive send-off.
Contrast that with George McGovern who was long out of the Senate when he passed away.
Most people don't know if he's dead or alive.
I am watching cheers on amazon prime video. It is more entertaining than McLame’s funeral/circus.
It will last for weeks. I may have to take a trip to Tahiti when that happens.
Perfect letter! I agree about Dole.
