...Perhaps, but he’s also a nanny state liberal A-hole...

I had the pleasure of spending the day with Senator Glenn and his wife touring the Kennedy Space Center back in the '90s. I found him to be a man of exceptional character and grace.

Something you obviously lack sir/madam.

I didn’t say he didn’t possess those characteristics. He was however, one of THE most liberal Senators ever and he did a lot of people a lot of harm with his ridiculous ultra liberal voting record.

And you know what you can do with the last sentence of your comment.

A nanny state liberal a-hole with character and grace, is still a nanny state liberal a-hole.

How does your touring experience with Glenn and his wife rebut the poster’s statement to which you responded?

I’ve met a great many people who defended the Great Clinton with the same sort of statement as yours, as if perceived “character and grace” negates any and all criticism, and the person who dares criticize a “national hero” OBVIOUSLY lacks such “character and grace”.

Glenn was and is a leftist and a tool, and enjoys Big Media’s unquestioning support.

In advance, may I say that I don’t care if you respect my “lack” of character and grace.

[treetopsandroofs]

Looks like many others have rebutted you as well or better than I have.

Still think charisma trumps any and all criticism, even if or especially when it’s about a leftist freak?

The only way I can explain it, is the vast majority of Americans born or raised in the first half of the 20th century, just accepted the mass culture of Rooseveltian Progressivism. Both Roosevelts.

Some beagan to question it,shook it off like Reagan did, and others, like Glenn, couldn’t change when faced with the truth. As to the space ride at 77 incident, well, even Barry Goldwater went soft when he got too old.

I had the pleasure of voting against the SOB a couple of times.

OF COURSE he was charming. He's a politician.

I will not let the leftist puke hide from his execrable POLITICAL record.

That "man of exceptional character and grace" was a member of the Keating Five.

After reading this story, I have to agree with you.

John Glenn was indeed a liberal Senator, but thinking back I don’t remember him being nasty or subversive and even though I am as right as right can be I can see the difference between being liberal and those that liberally hate America.
