Sen. Joe Lieberman, John McCain’s longtime friend and former running mate, said speaking today was one of the greatest honors of his life.
He spoke of hearing McCain tell people that there was a “special satisfaction that comes from serving a cause greater than yourself,” and that it was a creed he lived by.
“The greater cause to which he devoted his life was America, not so much the country defined by its borders, but the America of our founding values, freedom, human rights, opportunity, democracy, and equal justice under law,” Lieberman said.
“In John’s life, he nobly served and advanced these American values, and remarkably his death seems to have reminded the American people that these values are what make us a great nation,” he added. “Not the tribal partisanship, personal attack politics that have recently characterized our life.”
The week of memorials celebrating McCain’s life, Lieberman said, has lifted the country “above all that.”
