Sorry I wasn’t there for you last night at least for moral support. You did an excellent job as always though.
It never ceases to astonish me that one can produce McCain’s CoLB stating where he was born and a map of Colón, Republic of Panama, showing the location of Colón Hospital, and still get the argument that he was born in Coco Solo (even though there was no hospital in existence there at the time), and the state of our minds questioned.
At that point, I don’t know whether to laugh or do some serious arse stomping. So it is a good thing I turned in early. You have a heck of a lot more patience and grace than I could ever hope to have.
I have some empathy for them.
First off, setting aside his liberal leaning politics, if anyone should be constitutionally qualified for the Office, McCain is the one. He has a flawless multigenerational pedigree from a family that has put loyal service to the country above even life itself.
He himself has quite literally taken a bullet (well, OK, a missile) for this country. He withstood years of torture better than 9999 out of ten thousand of us could have.
He has served this country all his life.
He simply has to be qualified to the highest office in the land.
The plain truth, that he may not be qualified must be wrong! Therefore anything that would clearly make him unqualified must be wrong as well. Therefore anyone who demonstrates something that militates against his qualifications must be wrong, or worse.
Of course they react!
My God, man, look at the alternatives!
As liberal as McCain is, as 'bipartisan', and as much as he 'reaches across the aisle', and how hard he tries to be a 'maverick', as willing as he is to be suspend free speech right before an election (and soooo much more), he is, at his absolute worst nowhere near as bad for this country as zerObama or the Hildabeast are at their absolute best.
And still, depending on what 'natural born citizen' really means, in the eyes of the law he may not measure up.
