“Replace him this week”

I nominate Sherriff Joe Arpaio.

It’s a typical press release given the circumstances.

I’m surprised by some of the posts to this news as I’ve always felt FR members are what the left is not, respectful.

I have seldom been a fan of this politician, yet I do wish him and his family well in this battle.

Is that you John Kasich? Thanks for skipping the Republican Convention. Isn’t there an NAACP convention you want to speak at?

“Is the Governor of Arizona a Republican?”

Yes, but it does not matter, under AZ law he must appoint a replacement from the same party.


I don't know anything about Arizona politics. Who would be likely candidates to be McCain's replacement?

"You prefer a pampered playboy, a life long Democrat, a funder of Hillary..."

Even Ronald Reagan was a Democrat once.

Will McCain’s replacement serve out his entire term, or will there be another election ?

Yeah dude, we get it.

A president that actually accomplished something vs. “Juan was in combat 50 years ago, so muh brain turns off when it comes to the jack s**t he’s done since” cliched bull that people like you resort to that has kept that pest in office FAR PAST HIS EXPIRATION DATE.

So why dont you tell us about the great accomplishments of the McCain presidency....other than losing to Obama.

“But he was in the Vietnams”?

Typical GOPe loser. Thinking that you can paste over all of his garbage by waving around that veteran flag?

Thank you much for your post. I agree with you totally.

I’m not a McCain fan but cancer can be horrible. Watched several loved ones meet this in several ways.

“I just spent a few weeks getting radiation treatments (35)”

Ouch. My prayers are with you too.

"Did Kennedy work after his diagnosis?"

Which diagnosis? His diagnosis as:

A liar
A traitor
An adulterer
A drunk
A pervert
A whoremonger
An abuser of waitresses
A murderer
A whale

“So, feel free to be a NeverTrumper here, but DO NOT think, for a minute, that our ABJECT HATRED of McCain has anything to do with Trump. McCain earned that hatred long before 2015, at least in our circles.”

Perfectly said! And to think this man actually was the GOP nominee for President of this country. He’s facing a terrible death. I have a personal friend who died last Friday of this cancer. I wouldn’t wish what’s coming to him on my worst enemy. That said, it will be hopefully a good thing for the US Senate, and I hope Linda Graham finds a tenth story window to jump out of so we can replace him as well.

Governor appoints replacement only until next general election. The winner then serves only until McCain would face reelection.

I was merely saying that he does have a good shot since they apparently caught it early and he does in fact have access to the latest treatments... and will get top priority at the clinic.

I'll leave my own political opinions of him for another time.

Thanks. Every state is different. Curious to see who the governor puts in. Hope it’s not McCain’s wife.

“This is one of the most hateful threads I have ever seen.”

How? Frankly considering the amount of headaches that guy has caused us all for 17 years, people are being EXTREMELY polite. I would not have said anything if the OP didn’t need to lay out snark unprovoked.

“If you had mothers,they are rolling in their graves.”

I have one mom (like normal people), and she is very much alive.

” What makes you any different than rosie O’Donnell,or Madonna,their mothers died while they were young so obviously they were not nurtured.”

The hell are you on about?

Not being a 'Christian' often gives me the freedom to say what I think. I am not bound by the 'pray for their souls' doctrine that demands I hold my tongue and not say what is in my heart. I know that this is not in my souls best interest but that is the way it goes.

FJM. He is and has been a traitor to this country. I fully believe he conspired with the VC/NVA during his captivity. I believe the words of those that were there that stated this. I know that for decades, Keating 5 etc., that he has only been in his position because of his desire for his own enrichment and to exercise his power over the citizens.

Rot in hell John McCain. If God has mercy on him that is His business but I never will.

I am sure you noticed “when he will return” not whether or if, but when.
Anybody with that much of a lust for power we are better off without.
Go swiftly into the nether world McSwine, we are better off without you.
Yeah, cruel, I don’t care.
