All respect and condolences to Sen. McCain but it is time for him to resign. He should concentrate on his health! We need term limits on Senators and Congressmen. One reason it to curb their power but another is that some just say in office because they feel they have a need or a right to do so and stay long past the time they do their jobs properly due to age and illness.
-
Get well soon.

All hopes and payers, Mr McCain. Strength, honor and memories hold you. March proudly, you earned every step.

too bad they didn't implant a spine while they were in there.
-
If he would switch to the Democratic Party (since he's a republican in name only) I might have some respect for him. He serves his overlords in the council on foreign relations, (not) the American people.

I had that and was told to eat more foods high in fiber.

He's gonna die before he retires.

Our prayers to senator McCain & may he recover quickly due to America needing him so badly. Humiliated UN Hailey just had Russian mole Donald rip the American rug under her feet by removing the russian sanctions he Never intended to enforce against russia. Are clown sexual preditor donald fans happy that they have a Russian traitor?

Tough news. That 81 year-old body has been through so much.

He's like a Timex watch- takes a licking but keeps on ticking. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Senator, you've got my RESPECT and I wish you the BEST as you recuperate. We NEED folks like you more than ever today in this hyper-partisan atmosphere.

Senator McCain has had his issues in the past, though who can say that they haven't as well. He has always believed in doing what was best for the country, that which He felt/thought was best in his opinion at the time, and He has served His country faithfully for the better part of his life. Senator McCain is a true War Hero and an Honorable Man, our prayers are always going to be with Him and His Loved Ones. Hope You get well soon Sir.

I haven't agreed with McCain on some issues throughout the years, but I must say I respect him. One of the few in DC who get that level of recognition from me.
I wish him and his family the best and my sympathy.

A brave American patriot who I wish a speedy recovery.
Senator McCain, please retire before you die. There is nothing honorable about pretending to do a job you aren't physically capable of doing. End the charade and spend your remaining time with your family. It's not like they are going to starve if you're not bringing in your Congressional paycheck.
