More Power To McCain
So Arizona Senator had to leave Washington, D.C. got the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix for an important surgery to remove a blood clot from above his left eye. The procedure went well and they tested the clot that also had a tumor in it. It was later found that he has a brain tumor called Glioblastoma. This is a particularly aggressive tumor that forms in the tissue of the brain and spinal cord, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.
He and his family is looking into possible treatments and will most likely involve chemotherapy and radiation. He has tweeted that he will return to the senate very soon and looks to be the most calm in his family and circle. The article talking about his situation in some more detail is in the link at the top of this blog entry.
Now my thought about this man. I have know of Senator McCain since the early 90s. He has been a person who was at times tough to follow, but it didn't take me too learn to get the just of what this man is. I have saw him as an amazing man of honor and integrity. Is is not to be messed with, especially after enduring the trials of being a POW. He is considered to be Moderate Republican. It does not matter who he is though because he will challenge virtually everyone, even his own party.
The only time I was not very happy with him was when he was the 2008 Republican Nominee. It wasn't because he was running as a Republican or because he was running against Barack Obama. It was because I felt he had lost his way in what his true focus should have been while running for the office. He just seemed way too concerned with proving how conservative he was verses all the important topics he should have been discussing on. Would I had voted for him? Maybe, but he made my choice easier by being the way he was during the campaign, which IMO was a huge disappointment. When he returned to the senate, it seemed like he was returning to the man he was. My respect for him has slowly started to return as well.
I still highly respect this man and hope that he make it through this incredible journey. I am pretty sure he will. God's speed, sir!!
Thoughts and Prayers coming your way!
