As far as Washington DC goes, McCain was the worst of the worst. A Washington creature that only sought to keep himself in Washington and create a selfish legacy for himself based on his gay "maverick" label.

Funny, most of the people adulating him this week did not and would never vote for him in a million years. They only like him because he constantly stuck his finger in the eye of conservatives. Biden and other D's that praise him for "bi-partisanship" never 1 time voted for a R policy because of McCain or for the sake of bi-partisanship. They only like McCain because he was a useful idiot. He let Obama win and attacked Republican voters along the way in 2008. That was the weakest and most shameful campaign by any candidate for president in the history of our country.

It says something of today's politics when sending a stupid tweet insulting a news anchor is said to be scandalous and a poor mark of someones character, but lying a country into endless wars in the middle east and bombing thousands of innocent children is said to be "taking a principled stand on foreign policy".

I say nothing of his military service, I respect him for serving, but his career in Washington was nothing sort of shameful.
