John McCain, War Hero, Senator, Presidential Contender, Dies at 81

Yes, that sure came from the heart. It was a beautiful tribute from a daughter to her dad.

@madasheck thanks for posting these lovely tributes.

On another note, apparently it is nine years to the day that Ted Kennedy died of the same cancer.

You’re welcome, @joanne. I’ll post any more I find and I encourage others to do the same.

A nice comment from Jenna Bush Hager, regarding his kindness towards her and sister Barbara.

Rest in peace Senator Mccain. My condolances to his family.

I like what Joe Biden said on Twitter. His son, Beau, had the same cancer. (and Ted Kennedy)

From the Governor of Illinois.

This is from Martha McSally, the likely R nominee for the Senate seat Jeff Flake is vacating in Arizona.

ESPN did a big bit on McCain. Apparently a sports fan! R.I.P

Ok, you can “can it,” Madasheck. Offering condolences are great, but cut and past is not as sincere. Tomorrow you gonna cut and past newsweek.

I feel bad for the senator. He gave it all. Sorry i have critized him in the past.

I’ll keep putting up the tributes.

So did CBS. They not only broke into the game to announce his death but had a tribute to him at half time. It was very nice.

Criticizing someone’s political positions is fair game. But almost everyone admired him for his war hero status, dedication to country, and for being a good man.

Very sorry to hear that, prayers to your brother and family.

This is from the Governor of Arizona. Ducey will eventually name his replacement, and that person has to run in a special election in 2020.

Thank you.
