    God I miss the 2008 election. Sarah Palin was a sack of crazy, but otherwise it was beautiful.

    McCain, while someone I disagreed with on almost every issue, was a classy candidate who shut down unwarranted attacks on Obama’s heritage and patriotism.

    Dude also saved the ACA shortly before his death - acknowledging that while he didn’t like it the GOP didn’t have a better plan to replace it.

      A-fucking-men.

      I don’t know enough about McCains past to say whether he truly was “good,” but from what I would see of him during that election I at least had respect for him, I can’t say that about any current Republican even though there are people like Mitt Romney who has his occasional good days. I definitely questioned McCains judgement for picking Palin though lol
