Oh, please, spare me the drama. He came across as a conservative Democrat, a Silver Star-winning Vietnam veteran who was Reagan's SECNAV when he ran for office. Yes, his endorsement of Barry-0 disturbed me deeply but it was deflected somewhat by his having a son actually fighting in Iraq--something you cannot say about most Dims let alone chickenhawk neocons. And, BTW, you also see the picture of John McCain posted along witn Reagan and Palin!
Good grief, having a son serving in the military gets your vote? I'm surprised you didn't vote for Biden considering he has a son serving in Iraq as well.
I heard Osama bin Laden has several sons fighting in Afghanistan, maybe you can vote for him next election.
