McCain Ruins Legacy In Death

Tweet

Whatever anyone ever thought about John McCain, or his legacy, one thing really bothers me about his departure from this world, and makes me question why the man deserves the honor he has received at all. Hatred, pettiness, and vitriol. Look, I am not going to deny that then candidate Trump's comments about how he felt about 'heroes who are captured' disturbed me, and I absolutely disagreed with what he said at the time. Yet, for McCain to have used his grudge to spoil the repeal of Obamacare, even though he both opposed Obama's bill, and promised his constituency that he would repeal it at the first opportunity to do so, just to rub against Trump, is not honorable. His farewell letter to the nation was rife with innuendo about the Trump administration and should be considered no less than petty and disgusting. The non-invitation of Sarah Palin and Trump to his funeral is equally disgusting and not honorable. What? Does he blame Palin for his failure to win the presidency? I followed the campaign closely and if anyone spoiled the victory it was McCain who stumbled over himself the entire time. Maybe I agree that Palin was not the best choice as his running mate. But the failure of McCain to win the presidency was all his. Or did he choose not to invite Palin because she supported Trump? And every American should be totally disgusted by the failure to invite the President of the United States to the funeral. The whole thing diminishes the man, diminishes his legacy, and for me really causes me to have a massive amount of dislike toward the man. Even to make such comments as were made about the current administration at the funeral was a disgusting and dishonorable act. It was not the place nor the time for such things to happen. In the end I do not believe that McCain deserves nearly as much respect and admiration as he got. In the end the man was reduced to ugliness, pettiness, and dishonor. I have to admit I was never a huge fan of McCain as a senator. But there were many things I did otherwise appreciate the man for, and did support him when he ran for president. I take it all back.
