There you go again.

John Glenn's Senate voting record is as relevant to his life as is his Marine and NASA service record. Truth is truth. It is the height of cowardice to hide the truth.

I linked his atrocious Senate voting record up-thread. Read it.

If John Glenn didn't want to be remembered as a supporter of abortion, gun control and socialism then he shouldn't have used his time in the Senate to support abortion, gun control and socialism.

I assume that he considered supporting abortion, gun control, and socialism to be praiseworthy things or he wouldn't have done so. I'm sure your friends at DUmp are praising him for supporting abortion, gun control and socialism.

Do you have the courage to face the truth?

It's difficult to judge people from earlier generations/eras using metrics of a current period.

If that wasn't the case, then the Founders would all be roundly castigated as imperial slave owners - which is actually true in certain circles.

The point being, do you believe Glen would be the Glen of his Senate voting record if he was currently serving today? Or would he have moderated his positions, given the new information and different viewpoints that have emerged since he retired?

By example, how many here @ FR were previously Bush supporters, who believed the GOP represented conservatives, who only reluctantly came to the conclusion that the uni-party was in cahoots with the MSM to control and direct the US for their own personal benefit?

10-15 years ago you'd be banned for supporting Trump. Now, he's the standard bearer. Times change, people change.
