McCain's health improving, family and friends say
Fox News ^ | Amy Lieu

U.S. Sen. John McCain is feeling better as he recovers from cancer treatment and surgery in Arizona, according to family members and friends.

Arizona's junior U.S. senator, Jeff Flake, told Fox News on Friday that he spoke with McCain by phone that morning, and said his 81-year-old colleague was “doing better” than he had been recently.

In April, McCain underwent surgery for an intestinal infection.

Flake did not go into detail, but he smiled and spoke in a tone of voice that suggested he was pleased or relieved to offer the positive update.

After long deliberations, Death decided he'll send a more appropriate Reaper to collect McCain.

Until I see a video clip of him holding a recent copy of a daily newspaper — while wearing a MAGA hat — I’m going to continue assuming he’s lying in a morgue somewhere.

Cancer patients often look and feel better just before the lights go out.

Yes, I lost my brother in February. He had a bad heart for years and had been in and out of the hospital in December and early January. He got better and had not been in the hospital for a while, his wife kept telling me how much better he was doing and he was able to even go outside and tinker with stuff a little. She was and still is incredibly shocked that he had a heart attack the morning after Valentine’s Day and passed away so quickly he was pronounced before she could get to the hospital.

For some people that last hurrah lasts longer than others, his lasted for several weeks. So we were all pretty shocked when he passed away, even though we had been expecting it.

I totally agree. Her daddy taught her how to fool the conservatives and get their votes. He always campaigned to the conservatives and it was obvious to me he was a RINO poster boy- yet he would fool so many each time.

“People were saying he’d be gone by thanksgiving last year. This is depressing. He will never go away.”

Then we’ll have to change his nickname from ‘Ace’ to ‘Herpes’ McCain.

If this is true then it adds a whole lot more support to the theory that the whole Brain Cancer thing is a scam. A made up lie to allow him to hide and protect himself from being charged with the crimes he has committed.

Do people know that the pictures of McCain in Syria (in 2013) show him with some of the very same 5 terrorist’s who were arrested last week?

Maybe he wants to wait for the national military parade.

I lost my Father the same way. Heart Attack in Winter of ‘78 and home for a few months.

Back again for clots and gone. It sucks. I didn’t say a damn word for a month. It hurt.

God Bless You.

I’ve always wondered how he became so wrong=headed. Name almost any topic and McCain is on the wrong side. A born contrarian?

Short Man Syndrome--aka Napoleon Complex--is one theory.

I give him a few weeks before the mullahs publish their list of bribed Senators. I hope he lives long enough to know he’s been outed as a traitor in broad daylight.

I had a first cousin die from brain cancer at 41. He was a talkative, jovial sort of person and when I saw him alive the last time he was cracking jokes while sitting in a chair and could still walk to the bathroom alone. Six days later he was dead.

"I’ve heard others make the same claim. It makes sense to me from what I’ve seen of others with a serious, terminal cancer diagnosis. McLame is running a scam" Doubt it, he is just getting the best treatment and every experimental drug know to man to give him time. Have a look at the link. This picture is from 10 weeks back. Look at the picture of McCain's legs shown in the reflection of Cindy's Sun Glasses. No meat on those chicken bones.

I'm thinking it's touch and go if he makes it to May 21st which is the deadline if a Special election will be required to replace him, or his seat is appointed through the remainder of his term.

I agree, there is no brain cancer.... there is no ‘brace” on the leg (notice it was on one leg, then the other).

This is a total mafioso defense... he’s too ill to be criticized or convicted or sent to prison (PLUS HE IS ONE OF AMERICA’S GREATEST WAR HEROES! (good God I must hear that 3x a day))
