McCain is dead.
No matter what you think of the mans politics he was a true patriot.
He did something most of us couldn't, he put his fellow American before himself when it mattered.

Anyone claiming to be on the right that puts his politics before his service to our country can go fuck themselves.

Which is a very simplified view of the world.

Just because you do something "patriotic", doesn't mean you don't do things "unpatriotic".

He stood for his brethren. Simplistic? Yes. Bravery beyond your capabilities? I suspect so.

I agree that what he did during the Vietnam :Warm was heroic. I didn't always agree with his politics though.

I'm just amazed at how the left has changed their stance on him. I believe it has to do with their hatred for Trump and the battles between Trump and McCain. The left used tor refer to him as songbird McCain and even went as far as to say he sank the USS Forrestal, which of course never sank.

RIP John McCain.

McInsane was a lifelong neocon warmonger who was friends with neo nazis and ISIS, if you want to call that a true patriot go ahead but don't expect more rational people to share your feelings

I will comment on his politics, old and recent, to my heart's content. His stature as a war hero is not in dispute.

As I stated it takes a man to be able to separate real life deeds for political bullshit.

You failed the test.

I thought he SUCKED ASS as a political worm.
Having said that I recognize what really matters to the men who's very lives he may have saved.


Play your political games. It's what you have...

Everyone want to judge MCCAIN based on Romney or Obama or Palin.

And how many lives do you think McInsane saved cheering on the liberation of the Iraqi oil fields?

It's not a political game, I simply don't like war criminals so don't expect me to cry when a major one dies

That means John Kerry was a real hero too, right

And Trump supporters who voted for him in 2008 and now despise the guy. That's also a turn around.

I doubt it's the left and right which have changed, but the partisans who have changed their views of him.

John McCain's status as a war hero is beyond dispute, as are the records of people like Max Cleland and Tammy Duckworth.

When did the left say that?

Frankly, the left wasn't entirely kind to him when he ran for president in 2008, but the reality is, they treated him with quite a lot of deference. He didn't lose in 2008 because of Democrats, he lost because Bush left him such a mess he really had no argument to continue Republican governance.

The right, on the other hand, was pretty much badmouthing the guy up until he got the nomination, and resumed bad mouthing him after he lost and all the way up to and after his death

depends on your point of view.

The real question is, everyone by 1971 knew the war in Vietnam was a terrible idea, but we are still angry at the people who said so the loudest.

All of this accusations are coming from the right not the left

Nobody on the left ever said they like those that weren’t captured

Oh, Stormy Mac, everyone is a division pimp.

Hey, I'm kind of horrified by what the GOP has become, but people on the right did have some valid complaints against McCain for his policies, his constant desire for press praise in criticizing Bush and Trump, and so on.
