Now he tells us...
Normally, I would not attack someone when they are down especially with terminal illness.
However, this is just self serving grand standing.
What is wrong with someone who is so full of himself?

If it wasn't for Sarah Palin, he would have lost even bigger in the 2008 election.
It was conservatives who came out to vote for her.
I, myself included, held my nose and voted GOP because of Palin.
I wish I didn’t. It is politician like McCain thst turn our country upside down.
They say one thing to get elected and did something else behind the scene.
How dishonest is that?
Now that he is dying, he is free to speak his mind...
Well if he hadn’t lied, we may have elected a better leader.
John McCain’s legacy is he is a failure. The one good thing he did was during the Vietnam war.
His 30 years of service in the US Congress have little to show for it.

In fact, wasn’t he part of the Keating five scandal...

  For me, John McCain will always stand tall. Even as a conservative, he has earned my respect.
  
  I saw the article, he never attacked Palin. He just realized that the attitude of hard core conservatism has its cost, and for him that was the 2008 election.

  Your people keep saying that McCain's desire to not have Trump anywhere near is funeral is political.
  
  It is not, the decorum and unspoken courtesies from either side of the isle made the sort personal attack of the nature that Trump made on McCain verboten. Trump crossed the line as their disagreement in this matter of his capture and war hero status is not political, but personal with the yellow bellied coward attacking McCain's manhood and his service in of itself. That can't be forgiven by me, so I can understand McCain's reluctance not to capitulate to Trump on his death bed.

  Sorry jackclee, but when John McCain voted to save vital healthcare for Americans which includes critical cancer treatments for children through ObamaCare, it was another heroic act in his brave life: He defeated the forces of darkness in our oval office and despicable republicans in congress who were desperately trying to undermine healthcare so they could divert those funds to their elite Wall Street pals, thank God they failed:
  
  We pray to God the evil in our white house is removed long before he gets another chance to sabotage our healthcare system here in America:

  Mr. McCain made an impression on me early during the 2008 campaign when during one of his campaign rallies he came across a woman there who expressed dismay regarding Obama, saying that she distrusted him because he was a Muslim.
  
  In the face of all the boos in the audience, Mr. McCain corrected the woman and told her that Mr. Obama was not a Muslim, but a good man who wanted to improve his country as he did. He told her that himself and Obama differed only in how they would solve the problems.
  
  Now, that made me take notice. In a different reality from the one that I faced in 2008, I would not necessarily have had a nightmare if I had voted for him. He always kept his proboscis out of the dirt regardless of the fact that it was not to his advantage to do so, I respect that about him.
  
  Can you imagine Trump behaving in this way in a similar circumstance? of course you can't.
  It is no wonder the hard core types don't like him, Mr. McCain is actually a man of integrity and substance.
  
  So, when this guy spoke, I would at least lend him the courtesy of listening as a man who though experience has actually been in the trenches and is thereby worthy of being called my leader because he sets the example for true patriotism and courage.
  
  That is about as much as a eulogy that I can give for the man in advance.
  
  But, I guess that Trump and him has had quite a falling out? You really have got to have an "issue" with someone to disinvite them from your funeral before it even takes place.

  After he lost, he didn’t say a peep.
  
  Now that he is on his death bed, according to his own assessment, he is free to speak his mind...

  Things don't work differently down here unless dead is dead in a different manner in other parts of the world.
  
  I've been to a lot of funerals. I've heard people comment things like 'what is he doing here?' and the like. It's petty and mean. No one has any idea what compels another to pay their last respects. And, really, who is harmed by it? Oh gosh. Someone I hate has their butt warming the seat of one of the chairs. The audacity.

  A dying man and grieving family should be able to state their preferences about this disgusting man attending a war hero's funeral. Of course, you all can also express yours. Too bad you're focusing on criticizing the war hero instead of the mean and petty man whose behavior resulted in consequences, from some people, anyway.

  Clarification. Petty of McCain. Not the survivors. If the family members feel compelled to bat someone from paying their last respects it is within their rights. But, I would think death would be a reminder of the impermanence and pointlessness of grudges.
  
  Edit. I have no idea why I had to clarify. Reviewing my previous comment it was clear that surviving family were, in my opinion, entitled to dictate. I simply questioned the value.

  He defy all odds by attacking the fake media for they have done and been doing and exposed them for who they really are.
  Many conservatives knew this, but unfortunately, people on the left did not until it is too late.

  Do you think any of the other 16 candidates would have been good enough for the media instead of Hillary?
  If you are truthful, you will agree with Trump.

  Wow, is that your honest reaction? Distorting what I posted...?
  I am only making comments on one man, not the whole veterans group.
  McCain put himself in the crosshair by making statements that reveal what a person and politician he really is.
  You can bury you head in the sand. But, quite a few senior officials in the FBI were fired and did some bad things. That is not due to Trump but because of Trump’s election. I hope see the difference.
  What they did with this investigation is a travisty of justice and unConstitutional. There was no under lying crime and it was based on an unsubstantiated dossier.
  I am sorry this man is dying of cancer.
  It does not give him a pass, especially he said he is free to speak freely now...

  Jack, you insult McCain a few times in this thread. In the same post you claim to be making comments on one man, you attack the investigation of another veteran in Mueller. You're so far up Trump's rear end, you smell like poo.
  
  And the attacks on the FBI are fascism 101. Undermine the people that hold you accountable and who is left to stop you? No one. And Trump loyalists have bought in completely.

  Your bias never fail to amaze me. I am not a Trump supporter and never voted for the man. If you follow my posts here on HubPages, I made it clear why.
  However, these attacks on Trump, who is our President like it out not, is what I am against especially when there is no basis...it was a farce created by the deep state.
  You might not believe it, but I am a Constitutionalist. I don’t care about what goes on in microcosm but something that affects our government institutions are important.
  My criticism of the FBI and the DOJ are well founded.
  Someday, you will thank me when Democrats are back in power.

  You'll have to forgive some around here for questioning the veracity of your statement about not voting for Donny: You seem to worship him for whatever reason who knows:
  
  When the Dems take control we will see enhanced healthcare not Trump's desperate attempts at sabotaging and undermining it, we will see the outrageous corporate welfare tax cut scheme that Donny and republicans managed to pull over on their voters repealed with workers tax cuts remaining in place, we will see stock markets steady and grow not crash like it is today, we will see steady jobs growth not erratic ups and downs like today, we will see enhanced social security and medicare for our seniors not attacks on it by Trump republicans, we'll see preservation of our environment not retarded attempts to repeal laws that protect it like Donny's admin does almost daily, and finally we'll see sanity and competence return to the white house instead of the filthy sewer it is today:
  
  All this is contingent upon the resistance obstructing and stopping the total collapse of the United States which is well under way now until we take control:

Valiant, the deep state is a real problem for our republic. If they are allowed to continue down this path, it will happen again and again. When the Democrats return to power in the future, would you want what happened to Trump to be repeated against a future citizen running for high office and winning the Presidency? The politization of our federal agencies is a cancer. The FBI needs to clean house at the top or else, we can not trust them anymore. Not after what transpired with the Hillary email investigation and lack of indictment.

The fact that you've bought into the deep state terminology brewed up by Cambridge Analytica tells me you fall into the category of Trump supporter, like it or not.

And when a member of the Trump campaign fly to Russia during the campaign, a member who was previously under FISA surveillance for potentially being recruited by the Russians, there's plenty of basis for an investigation. And that's even before another campaign aide brags to members of a US ally that they are getting the hacked e-mails from Russia.

Ans that's before three high-level members of the Trump campaign meet with Russians in his own hotel. The details of which have changed over time about who was there and what was discussed. That, in and of itself, should be grounds for an investigation.

No basis? Yeah, right. For a Constitutionalist, you sure are willing to overlook a lot of shadiness in regards to the laws of our land.

  Really? No penalties for crooked politicians? I distinctly recall impeachment for Bill Clinton and a resignation from Richard Nixon for doing a tiny fraction of what Spanky Trump has done so far:

  Nixon is the only valid one you listed. Clinton didn't pay. Sure the House impeached him but he was not removed from the presidency. He got a black eye to his reputation, that's pretty much all.
  
  As to the accusation of traitor you're going to have to stick to facts not opinions. I realize that may be difficult (I've read your posts) but I'm afraid that is just the way life works. You seem to have a problem with those you perceive as liars. Aren't misstatements of facts also lies? Or are we to simply assume you don't have to live by your own stated rules?

  Sorry, but Bill Clinton's punishment was equal to his scandal, a lie about a consensual affair with an intern, he never violated the constitution like Spanky does every day, his campaign never conspired with Russian spies like Spanky's did, he never asked Russian spies to espionage private property of the United States on national television like Spanky did and he never degraded our law enforcement agencies daily like Spanky does:
  
  Mr. Trump's crimes are the absolute worst in history, he's the most dangerous clown in history and the world will celebrate when he's finally tossed out:
  
  You've also neglected to mention all the politicians who were sentenced to prison for their crimes, far less offensive and diminutive in comparison to Mr, Trumps daily undermining of the United States and all the politicians who were forced to resign in shame destroying their careers:

  If not for lying, this louse incapable of showing the least bit of remorse would probably have no reason to open his mouth: He should be tossed out of office on his flat head for this alone, a mega breach of his oath of office but that obviously means absolutely nothing to him:
  
  Remember when Donny disgracefully disrespected out military POWs and John McCain within minutes of each other? That combined with this is nothing less than an abomination and reason for his dismissal:
