Bush — who defeated McCain in the 2000 Republican presidential primary — said that the Arizona senator “detested the abuse of power and could not abide bigots and swaggering despots.”
“He respected the dignity inherent in every life, a dignity that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators,” Bush continued.
“John’s voice will always come as a whisper over our shoulder: ‘We’re better than this, America is better than this’.”

Yup - I remember how hysterically funny and inappropriate that was.
These people lack character and class. That says all you need to know about them.
If you can’t keep politics out of a funeral, well thaf says a lot about you and the dearly departed.
I hope they keep it up.
What’s been fascinating to me is the treatment of President Trump as an enemy. We are not talking policy disagreements here. I really do find it fascinating and exhilarating at the exact same time. The Aretha Franklin funeral was just bizarre and I can’t stop laughing at all of this. Cheers.
What I used to say out of frustration I now say with conviction. Choosing the elder Bush was Reagan’s biggest mistake.
You and me both.
They think attacking Trump will drive down his ratings.
It will do the exact opposite. People watching it are disgusted.
A funeral is supposed to elevate us in grief and a spirit of shared remembrance.
Not this one - it and the man whose life it reviewed will be forgotten.
Bush-43 did succeed in bringing on the financial crisis of 2008, giving us 8 years of Obama, wasting 7 Trillion dollars in Iraq & the middle-east.
There is no longer any question about Donald J Trump being Supreme GEOTUS. The man completely dominates events when he’s not even in attendance. No other human in history has wielded such fantastic power!
D*****-bags all.
Unfit to shine his shoes.
The hate and resentment pour out of liberals and their Never Trumper hangers-on.
People remind us to show respect for the dead. But no one is showing respect for our President.
There is a time and place for politics. Not here. These people just don’t get It.
Bush would not criticize Obama but he criticizes Trump? Sick. Really sick.
Genuine Class @RichardJuice
"Civility" means Republicans keeping a stiff upper lip while losing.
That gnarly sob!!!!!
I haven’t posted in forever because of my bloody screen name. How can I change it????
Exactly. Don’t they have anything to say about the man on a personal level? They have the rest of the day, week, month and year to attack President Trump with their friends in the media backing them up it’s nonstop attacls always. A couple ofhours they can’t shut up about politics and just talk about the career and personal stories about McCain?
Yes, I hope that neither GW Bush nor his wife are driving; they both have terrible driving records, almost as bad as his presidency.
What a bunch of assholes.

Pathetic loser RINOs on parade
The best thing about John McCain is that we will not be hearing from him again .
Leftists using FUNERALS to trash politicians they don’t like..welcome to the new Communist left..when my father died of cancer in 1996 I would NEVER have injected politics into his funeral, his funeral was about HIS LIFE how much WE were going to miss him, how much he meant to us..what you are all seeing now is a total spectacle, its not a funeral..its a political event
The same media that LAUGHED when Bush had shoes thrown at him..the same media that thought it was HILARIOUS when commie libs portrayed Bush as a MONKEY and a Nazi and a Hitler wannabe, now take the same commie medias side and cozy up to them..what do you expect from Bush, he allowed 9/11 to happen on HIS WATCH..then after wards spit in the eyes of those killed by embracing Islam and kissing their ass
“The man who was not invited, Trump, is the only true hero in all this.”
And Sarah Palin too...
