"....not meant to say McCain wasn't a true war hero and patriot...."
People in leadership hesitate to come out much against McCain because of the war stuff. But that's a mistake to give him so much leverage. He goes against too many conservative issues.
It's just hard to trust someone whom John Kerry was considering for V.P. How obvious can it get?
I will honor and respect McCain's service in our military and the years he spent as a POW
However, his years as a Senator suck ..
