Not wishing to say something bad about the dead, I'll leave the inaccuracies in this piece alone.

I wonder if he’s getting the 10 cent tour of Hell right about now.

President Trump just tweeted his condolences. It did not at all praise Senator McCain. The tweet was very reserved.

Yes, Yes, Yes! MAGA!!! ..

Do you think the Hillary Clinton sycophants at websites like DU will have threads like this about Bernie Sanders when he passes on? LOL.

In the fall of 2014, I stood at Willow Beach Fish Hatchery in my Arizona County, enraged that US Fish and Wildlife refused to listen to us when we told them that ending their 50 year fish stocking program was going to have a devastating economic and environmental impact on Bullhead City and Mohave County. Out of sheer and utter frustration, I turned to Senator John McCain who was touring the facility with us (I am the Mohave County Supervisor representing Bullhead City) and I said, "Senator, I am at my wits' end. If you can't help us, I don't think anybody can." He put his arm around me and said, "Hildy dear, I am not sure what I can do, but I promise you I will do my best."

His best resulted in a cost sharing deal between US Fish and Wildlife and AZ Game and Fish to build a new pump and a contract to keep the program going - pretty much saving the fishing industry in my district and stopping an infestation of something called the "Caddis Fly."

I have many profound political differences with Senator John McCain, but on that day, standing at Willow Beach, he made a promise to me and he kept it. For that, I will be eternally grateful.

Prayers up to Senator McCain's family tonight.

Will he be replaced with a Democrat ?

[the OlLine Rebel]

May God rest his soul.

Don’t wish him ill. He was basically a good man who errantly promoted many wrong things.

ALL that is needed to know about HIM , a soon to be forgotten has been, in this 24 hour world of news, is that he requested to NOT be buried in Arlington Nat. Cemetary, like his “Truly Honorable” ADMIRAL + other relatives were. Why? HE died knowing Exactly WHY!

[farming pharmer]

And may his soul forever walk the earth, bound by the chains forged during his mortal existance.

He might have been the poster boy of Republicans who stabbed us in the back but to me the one that really breaks my heart is George W Bush.

There was a time in his life when served this country honorably as a Sailor and a Naval Aviator:
When this life I’m in is done,

and at the gates I stand,

my hope is that I answer all

the questions on command.

I doubt I’ll be asked of my fame,

or all the things I knew.

Instead, did I witness the rainbows

on rainy days I flew.

The hours logged, the status reached,

the ratings will not matter.

Did I notice the sun’s rays

on the lakes that scattered.

Or what about the droplets clear,

that spread across my screen?

And the twinkling eyes of student pilots keen?

How fast, how far, how much, how high? I won’t be asked these things.

But did I take the time to watch

the moonbeams wash my wings?

And did I see the patchwork fields

the mirrored lakes below?

Or the mountains high and velvet hills? Of these did I behold?

And when the goals are reached at last.

When all the flying’s done.

I’ll answer with no regret – Indeed! I had some fun.

So when these things are asked of me,

and I can reach no higher.

My prayer this day with hands extended, please welcome home this Flyer

All else notwithstanding (and I am bitterly disappointed in each and every GOP Presidential candidate in this millennium) McCain did go off to VN when others rushed to Canada. And, he does have a family who loved him and who grieve today. May his soul find the eternal peace that avoided him in this life.

[Halls]

I’m disgusted by all the celebrating. I was no fan of McCain, but I I’m not jumping up and down because he’s dead. RIP McCain. I hope he accepted Christ as his savior before he passed away.

“This is the story of Evarra — man —
Maker of Gods in lands beyond the sea.~
Because the city gave him of her gold,
Because the caravans brought turquoises,
Because his life was sheltered by the King,
So that no man should maim him, none should steal,
Or break his rest with babble in the streets
When he was weary after toil, he made
An image of his God in gold and pearl,
With turquoise diadem and human eyes,
A wonder in the sunshine, known afar,
And worshipped by the King; but, drunk with pride,
Because the city bowed to him for God,
He wrote above the shrine: “~Thus Gods are made,
And whoso makes them otherwise shall die.~”
And all the city praised him. . . . Then he died”

-Evarra and his gods, Rudyard Kipling

RIP to a ear hero, but I wont miss what a useful idiot he was for the Democratic Party. Here is hoping Arizonzanans elect a conservative replacement. God help us if they elect a DemocRAT.

[higgmeister]

They always say “it’s hot as H3LL in Arizona... he’ll be fine.

[Mase]

Yes, you should only speak good about the recently departed.

He's dead, that's good.

Memory Eternal!!!!
