“Code of honor”? Takes some balls just to put that to paper.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero

The only GOP candidate in 2008 was Sarah Palin.

She fought against three Marxist democrats, Mccain, Obama and Biden

Now, now.

Remember always John McCain was an honest-to-Putin war hero and Cold War ace: He, alone of every other man rated a pilot, was singly and highhandedly responsible for getting shot down in, burning up, ejecting from, crashing or destroying five enemy (er, US Navy) planes!

I have just been called heartless for not mourning his passing. So be it.
