Just want to add here that McCain is a liar and a bum. He’s coddled the Democrats for years and essentially took a dive in the 08 election. He’s disloyal to the conservative movement, opting to seek admiration from the left. So yeah, I’m way more worried about him than I am about Putin.
Sadly, I can't say that's totally false.
But I do think you exaggerate it beyond what McCain deserves.
He's still on our team, and vastly better than any conceivable Democrat in his position as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Indeed, if you consider previous chairmen -- Democrat Levin and Republican Warner, a couple of political beauties there.
You have to go all the way back to 1985 under President Reagan, when Senator Barry Goldwater held the post, and even Goldwater by that time was no longer the gold-standard for "Mr. Conservative".
So while McCain may not be as good as we can hope for, he may be the best we can ever realistically expect.

So, where Bogie's I.F.F. is malfunctioning yours is simply gone altogether, a casualty of propaganda wars or, what, election PTSD?
