3. I doubt many Republican senators are overly upset about McCain's passing.

I would imagine he was often their conscience and made them nervous. Kinda like having your mother sitting in the corner of your classroom.

I'm sure McCain probably cut his own corners to get something passed, but with this group of Republicans that are playing dirty beyond belief, he probably reprimanded them and reminded them they were sitting in the senate and should not be acting that way.

Are there any old senators/reps who still carry a strong sense of patriotism and accountability left? I can think of a few who have been in office a few years who maintain a sense of decorum and tend to protect our country, but I'm referring to the "old school" members...those who can still break a tear when the flag passes by...those who actually know the words to the National Anthem (unlike our "leader&quot . I want senators who will make me feel safe...that are standing guard.
