I’m not a McCain supporter. McCain hatred is running so red hot that any post that doesn’t dump on the guy must seem like it’s coming from a supporter. I just don’t like folks denigrating his service. Nothing more, nothing less. As for mattfromva, don’t know him and he’s not me. If he used the word “rubbish” then maybe he’s stealing from me. ;)
I'll give McCain credit for all those years as a POW. I will also give him credit for being the proponent for The Surge and for his support of the troops. That being said.
John McCain has done everything in his power to make himself look good and the party look bad since he lost to Bush in 2000. Maybe he still has hard feelings about that. Any normal adult would have gotten over that a long time ago.
I came across this quote from him in 2000. "I will not take the low road to the highest office in the land. I want the presidency in the best way, not the worst way." . He certainly hasn't run his campaign that way this time around.
