“We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe,” Davis read from McCain’s letter. “We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.”
… “I have tried to serve our country honorably. I’ve made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them,” McCain’s letter read. “I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for 10 satisfying lives, and I am so thankful. Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s. “
RIP,John McCain. The Republican Party would be better served as McCain as model instead of the travesty that is Trump(and that includes the “teabaggers).
RIP John McCain.
Such a good man. Such a ray of hope for the National Republican party. God help them. God help us.
There’s no Republican Party there’s only the 45 Party.
That’s true, Ron. When that orange motherfucker is impeached we’ll have a street party.
In the immortal words of John McCain:
“Get out of here you low-life scum.”
*** They ruined McCain’s chances back during the Obama/McCain presidential race when the campaign advisers looking to gain the overall women’s vote, talked him into picking S.Palin instead of his possible “independent” dark horse choice, Joe Lieberman. The rest is history now & the U.S has lost a great American! ***RIP***
McCain was a decorated Naval aviator, a commissioned officer that saw action in the Vietnam war. Right about the time Donald J. Trump developed bone spurs.
