It’s an absolute disgrace to bestow any honors upon a man who made Benedict Arnold look like the most devoted of American loyalists.

How long do we have to put up with these ceremonies for a fraud, a Globalist enemy and traitor to the American People. I hope all his treachery is revealed very soon and we no longer have to hear about him or ever speak his name again.

I know what you mean. Can’t say as I disagree with your thought. It just gripes me to see a man of that caliber canonized.

I wouldn't mind seeing him shot out of a cannon.

Some of us as we grow older ponder if we could be summed up by the word reprobate. Thankfully John is there to protect us.

We’re paupers on that count compared to him.

If he would do that to Cindy in public, I can’t imagine what he would do to her in private.

No woman deserves that level of cruelty, I don’t care if they are truly a low class woman. Everyone should be treated with some level of respect.

If I was in charge I’d just dump his carcass in a manure spreader and till him under.

True...what did he do to her behind closed doors? Remember that debate on 08 Maria Shriver got to him as he was leaving the stage. Something happened and he got mad, he yelled at her, get out of my face.

David Letterman used to play that video all the time and laugh. I never have liked mccain. My hubby did for a while until mccain did something agaisnt the NRA.

“35 years in congress.”

First of all, that’s WAY too long for anyone to be a senator.

Second: What did McCain actually accomplish in the senate during those 35 years? Answer: basically nothing. He named several government buildings, got involved in the Keating 5, slandered Donald Rumsfeld mercilessly, ran a PATHETIC presidential campaign, ignored, lied to and sneered at his constituents, and jealously attacked President Trump every single day that he could.

What great accomplishments-—NOT!!!!!

Since Senator McCain is being interred at the Naval Academy the burial site should be considered a hazardous wastes site.

A long time lying in state. He aught to be ripe by the time they plant him.

Benedict Arnold was an outstanding combat leader, John M not exactly. It can certainly be argued that Arnold did far more for the cause of America (Battle of Valcour Island) than McCain ever did and it is possible both McCain and Arnold engaged in similar activities with our enemies.

My problem is, where do you draw the line?

We are all sinners, have our own set of faults.

John was a public figure, and his actions were all too public because of it. If he were a private individual acting this way, I’d recognize the fallible man and forget about it.

His actions as a Congressman and Senator have to be seen through the filter of his character. The man had none, and so many of his actions in the offices he held are seen as simply terrible. There’s no room for innocent error. He meant to do exactly what he did, and for decades.
