Young John McCain — navy pilot. POW. Hero. Honorable to the max.
Middle aged and old John McCain — Author, sponsor, and cosponsor of some of the worst liberty destroying legislation ever signed into law. Ardent supporter of granting amnesty to millions and millions of illegal aliens including countless criminals all the while without securing our borders during a time of war and terror threats. Dishonorable and despicable.
Why the change? When did it happen. When does the praise end and the criticism start?
Benedict Arnold was an American war hero and then he betrayed his fellow soldiers and countrymen. Do we honor his service or just remember that in his official capacity that he betrayed his country? Do we build half a statue to him?
Despite what young McCain was or may have been, he has done a tremendous disservice to his country as a senator and I believe will continue to do so as president.
Worship him if you want. I will not.
That was the first halfhearted, sarcastic, complimentary statement you could bring yourself to make in a dozen posts to this thread about the integrity and heroism of young John McCain. Think about it.
