I am no fan of McCain. There is no naivety in my judgment. If you think a 3rd party will make a statement, I disagree with you. These are poor choices we face. In McCain’s defense, he did not abandon his fellow pow’s in Vietnam. That says a lot to me.
Have you checked on how J.S. McCain’s record treated families of POWs, how he and John Kerry swept the issue under the rug, how he wanted a reunion with his former captors? It is on record.
