John McCain calls brain cancer prognosis 'very poor'

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Sen. John McCain says doctors have given him a "very poor prognosis" as he battles brain cancer.

McCain underwent surgery in July for a brain tumor that was later found to be a form of glioblastoma, the same type of cancer that took the life of his former Senate colleague Edward M. Kennedy in 2009. McCain tells CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview that aired Sunday night that he thinks about Kennedy a lot. He says Kennedy continued to work despite the diagnosis and "never gave up because he loved the engagement."

From my understanding of his condition, a short battle would be merciful.

I never do. But I am going to make an exception for this AHole.
He should retire from the senate, go back home to spend
the rest of his life with his family.
Good riddance to him. Sooner than later.

Trump should sign an EO immediately forcing all congress critters to sign up for obamacare.
Let's see how much old John loves it then.

They are all the enemy. Every last one of them.

They are all working together against us while fooling us with lies.

They are like a bunch of pro wrestlers.

They strut around and talk all sorts of crap on camera while being interviewed by Mean Gene Okrerlund, they put on fake fights in the ring, then after the show, they all go to the same bar, drink together, have a blast, go back to the hotel room and and pass around the groupie girls.

This is all a show, and it’s purpose is to take everything from us and give it to them.

Good riddance indeed. Though I cringe to think of the media fawning and canonizing that will go on.... gawd. And his loudmouth, airhead daughter will probably have her “celebrity career” set in stone the rest of her life, her name forever followed by “... daughter of the late, great Maverick of the Senate, John McCain.”

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

True. McCain has been a democrat for years - I don’t know why he wasn’t tossed from the Republican party. I think pretending to be a Republican and acting like a dem is his ticket to media attention and praise from the dems. He lives to be the so-called “maverick” and loves the attention it gets him.

It’s not engagement he craves, it’s power.

But at least brain cancer won’t affect his performance, it’s not like he has used it recently.

I don’t understand anyone who would rather greedily cling to their power up to their dying breath rather than enjoy their last months and days with their family and close friends.

Do Senators who are power-first users have actual close frieds? I wonder about his family as well. He has lived most of his Senatorial life in DC, not in Arizona where his family has always lived.

I lost a sibling to this horrible disease and don't wish it on anyone, not even on such a nasty person as McCain.

“I suggest he spend more time getting right with the Lord.....”

Songbird McCain is such a nasty narcissist that he probably believes the LORD needs to get right with him.
I take no joy in saying that but I believe it true in his case.

You wonder why he wasn’t tossed from the GOP???

Read #87.

They can’t make it any plainer to us that they HATE US!

He says Kennedy continued to work despite the diagnosis and "never gave up because he loved the engagement."

Sorry, John. It was all ego driven and a desire to push his wicked agenda over doing the right thing and leaving gracefully. It is the same for you.
