#RIP John McCain- the last of the principled Republicans. He had "a fidelity to something higher... the courage to put the greater good above our own." vs "Hearts and Prayers"... yada yada yada

Didn’t agree with him on many social issues, angered me at times but always admired his ability to reach across the aisle and conduct his politics with grace & dignity.

Kirjanik Stephen King 

John McCain's finest moment (for me) came in 2008, when a woman at a rally referred to Obama as an Arab. "No, ma'am," McCain replied. "He's a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with." That's manning up.
