Oh. That’s sad. I just heard that he stopped the treatment. He seemed like a stand up guy.

RIP John McCain. He certainly had my respect.

The last of the true statesman. RIP

RIP.

Don't know what you mean by "for those that don't look at HT"?

Not sure I always agreed with his politics, but I'll long remember him as a man who conducted himself with honor, spoke up for truth, and treated even his opponents with fairness. Peace to his family and loved ones.

I wish we had more like him at this difficult time. RIP John.

"for those that don't look at HT" -"Hot Topics"

John McCain was one classy politician, a rarity these days...

Thank you, Colleen. I do know of the Hot Topics forum, guess I just didn't realize the 'HT' abbreviation connection. I thought it was a news tv or internet news reporting source, not the Hot Topics discussion forum.

So many years he was a prisoner, yet he rallied himself to do what he could for USA. Gotta respect him for that.

Rest in peace. My heart goes out to his family.

yes, there is that. my heart also goes out to Cindy, their kids and gkids.

I still remember seeing him get off of the plane when he returned to the US.

I didn't really expect it so soon with the family announcement just coming out yesterday.

This is a sad day. RIP John McCain and thank you for your service. You set the example.

RIP, RESPECT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Another hero gone.

A true American patriot. Class act guy. Too bad there are few left in politics.

He is Americas Hero. An educated, well spoken, kind man. RIP

Thank you Mr. McCain...for caring about and loving this Country. So few seem

to anymore.

RIP Mr. McCain. Condolences to your friends and family

A patriot and hero. Rest in peace, Mr. McCain.

Our nation needs more men and women like John McCain in public service. Please, dear God, give us the wisdom to elect a president with McCain's courage, dignity, and honor the next time around.

I often disagreed with him. He was an interesting mix of both independent and sometimes dogmatic thoughts but I respected his integrity. I think he might have been our President, and would have been a decent one, if he hadn't made the mistake of putting Palin the Bozo on the ticket with him.

Not just in public service, we need more honesty and integrity in our society from one end to the other. Any ideas on how to do that?

It should start at home. Early on...teach children that their word is their bond...to think before they speak...and why both are so important. Then set a good example. The kind of integrity that McCain had started long before he became a prisoner of war and then a politician. That kind of integrity starts at the cradle.

Being a Canadian, I don't get involved with American politicians, especially on such a diverse board as this, but it seems to me that McCain had TRUE PATRIOT LOVE for his country. Whether you loved or hated, agreed or disagreed with him, let's give him his due. RIP

I hope the fact that John McCain did not want Donald Trump
to attend his funeral will silence those who still insist the American
political divide is a Democrat vs. Republican issue, a “we won, you lost, now
get over it” thing.

Elmer, I agree, but that discussion might be better in a new thread. Let this be an homage.

Discussing a uniquely exemplary personal attribute of an otherwise controversial public leader, and how to extend it, IS an homage. No?
