I believe John Mccain has a tough road to hoe.
When he speaks from his heart and tries to tell the truth, Republicans boo.
Then he goes into campaign mode, betraying his integrity for Republican votes.
I still remember when he spoke in defence of Democratic nominee Obama.
The following is an old, 2008, youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c-Ijky95dcIn it, John McCain called Obama a decent person.
One should be able to admire an person of integrity while disagreeing strongly with their views.
Unfortunately, in our political climate, we are conditioned not to listen to the opposition.
We are conditioned to look for fault and evil purpose in anything the opposition wants or does.
John McCain had to sacrifice his integrity so his Republican base would listen to him.
Will the time ever come back when Democrats and Republicans can argue fiercely,
but at the end of the day, go out for a beer together.
When Hubert Humphrey knew he was going to die, he started inviting people to his upcoming funeral.
This may sound morbid, that that's what he did. One person he invited was Richard Nixon.
When I was young, "Tricky Dicky" was the mildest insult I could throw at Tricky Dicky Nixon.
Who gave the eulogy at Senator Edward Kennedy's funeral? It was Orrin Hatch....
Times have changed. I'm afraid times have changed for the worse.
