McCain didn't let that stop him from giving a "thumbs down" gesture.

Too bad we don't have more of those in the Repuke party, today.

I've lived in Arizona since '83.

I've written many an email to Senator McCain. We were on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but I always, always respected him and thought he would be open-minded enough to at least consider another viewpoint.

I still miss him. I'm REALLY looking forward to getting Senator Kelly elected!

Jumped off the couch and screamed and woke hubs and scared him to death. Also in AZ. John McCain had and has my respect.
McTurtle’s face was a delight.

I don't think McCain did that because it was the right thing to do, i think he did it as a "fuck you" to MF45 . McCain hated him.

Remember, McCain would have been Bush's 3rd term, he was part of the Keating 5, he dumped his loyal first wife for a rich woman. He may be better than Moscow Mitch and today's republicons, but that's a damn LOW bar.
