John McCain, the longtime senator and 2008 GOP presidential candidate who refused to leave fellow prisoners of war behind to escape years of torture in Vietnam, and whose maverick streak as Arizona’s senior statesman at times frustrated fellow Republicans and confounded President Donald Trump, has died, his family confirmed in a statement Saturday.

He was 81and had been diagnosed with brain cancer in July 2017.

McCain had decided to discontinue medical treatment for the glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, his family announced on Aug. 24. He had surpassed expectations for his survival, but "the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict," the statement said.

Thanks KC_Lion. Sarah does it right.

"McCain’s death is a good thing. He can no longer use his office to harm Americans."

It's also good because who ever has been impersonating in his tweets, can no longer send out messages as if they're from his own lips. That is, unless they get a psychic to channel him.

The Establishment will Never Ever be able to pick our candidates again.

Your post made me LOL!!!

I do not celebrate other people dying nor do I wish pain upon anyone. It can come back on you. Cosmic justice isn’t fun.

No.

When a bad person dies it’s not “cosmic justice” that a good person who recognizes this ALSO dies. It’s called TRUTH.

Celebrities and the Left are praising Sen. McCain, a man they have no real love for, just so they ca attack a True Hero.. President Donald J. Trump.

The Left never ever lets a good crisis or funeral go to waste.

Weekend at McCain’s.

It is for gracious and genuine statements like these that Sarah Palin has been an inspiration and my role model since I was 18 years old. She is who our founders intended to have the reigns of a Citizen Government.

I am glad we have a movement to return to that way of life.

RIP to John McCain. His work is now passed. Now we will see if it stands the test of time.

[Tax-chick]

Sarah can be counted on to say and do the decent thing.

[NFHale]

The only good thing I’ll say about him was he introduced Sarah Palin to us.

As far as I’m concerned, he’s another tick mark in the “Done” column on the “List of Folks Hale Absolutely MUST Outlive”.

Condolences to his family and those that loved him.

I did not, and will not eulogize him, nor pretend he was anything other than what he actually was.

"Too early for a chorus of “Ding Dong the RINO’s Dead?”"

You start and I'll join in...have cracked the celebration barley pop. Ain't even pourin' one out for that bastard.

[NFHale]

What book was it?

[dowcaet]

She’s been far more gracious to McCain than he was to her.

[NFHale]

Much more gracious than I would or could ever have been. I don’t take kindly to people I trust or support stabbing me in the back.

She’s a better person than he ever was.

Mr. McCan, thank you for finally doing something in service to the Country.

In other news, I thought in remembrance of you while taking a dump.

[OldArmy52]

The sun shines a little brighter today.

[Darksheare]

Means that he’s been dead for longer than they are saying.
The Songbird has finally quieted.

[KC_Lion]

Make of this as you will, but this afternoon shortly after 4:30 a book next to my husband's ashes fell over for no apparent reason ... All are kept in a glass enclosed bookcase.

I have no doubt what that was. A sign that your precious Dr. O and his Navy Classmate and friend John McCain are together again.

And he wanted you to know :)

I wouldn’t even bring this up except for the fact that Fox News was completely white washing that they did this

I said this morning since Fox is still stuck on stupid, "it looks now like Fox is trying to "redefine" McCain!
