I agree with you. I may disagree with a lot of McCain's policies and I hate what he did to Bush the first few years of his presidency.
But come on, the man is a patriot. What he suffered through in Vietnam is something you would not wish on your worst enemy. He had the opportunity to go back, but was honorable enough not to.
The man was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the country. He maybe many things, but he certainly isn't a traitor
Getting shot down by the enemy was not something McCain wished for, but that hardly makes him a patriot. The life he has led since his release is not one of honor or integrity.
Would you say the same thing about Benedict Arnold, a true war hero?
The Democrats on Captiol Hill managed to do to him what his Vietcong jailers failed to.
