As a moderate, the late Arizona Senator John McCain was and is a political hero of mine.
While I did not always agree with everything John McCain stood for, I respect the fact that he stood up for what he believed in, I respect his service to our country, I respect that he didn’t view compromise as a weakness, and I respect his campaign message of “Country First.”
Many people nowadays when they hear America First, think of it as a nationalistic dog whistle thanks to President Trump. This however, was not what John McCain meant when he used the motto “Country First” in 2008.

“No Name” did not leave on his own terms.
I despise that phrase. CommieBernie is also said to stand up for what he believes in. So what? Bernie is still a commie and McCain was a turncoat on many conservative issues.
John McCain spent a lifetime putting John McCain first.
“.... thieving crook McCain got caught stealing money in the Keating Five scandal.”
And yet the narcissistic old codger was the best the RINO’s would offer us to confront the greatest threat up that point our country had ever faced.....BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
We forget from time to time what utter contempt the political ruling classes hold us in.
Veteran? Hero? So was Benedict Arnold.
I always thought his message was, “McCain First.”
Anyone who considers John McCain as their political hero is a zero.
McCain was a despicable back stabbing traitor and Evan Grollman is an idiot.
“Nationalistic dog whistle”?
Who talks like that?
___
A Commie.
This is NOT the John McCain I knew.
This may sound weird, but I find squishy Republicans more disgusting than Bernie and his supporters.
McCain never for one minute believed that slogan nor did he actually care one bit about those of us out in the country class!
No, John McCain was a vindictive saboteur. He grew more curmudgeonly as he aged.
The writer of this drivel seems to be a college student. This bedwetting humpty dumpty claims to occupy the center, while being a democrat. "Put country over party (like McBrain)", he cries. Well, I would dare him to put forth some genuine praise for President Trump. I would expect crickets. But I would like to know for sure.
Yeah, he was a real “country first” guy when he voted to keep Obamacare.
And when he abandoned POW/MIAs in Vietnam.
“Try as I might...I just can’t bring myself to read past that line.”
Indeed, that’s where I stopped.
