There is virtually nothing I can come up with that would garner any respect from me for this person. Normally military service puts a person at or very near the top of my respect list.....but McCain got so much favorable treatment it’s not unreasonable to assume if his daddy hadn’t have been an admiral, he wouldn’t have even been over NVietnam to be shot down, much less a navel aviator.
Tack on his no vote for the Obysmal care repeal and he falls into the loathsome catagory! His book and willingness to speak out now demonstrate he is a spineless opportunist.
I’ve always summarized that the reason he is so against torturing, is not because it’s wrong in his eyes (personally I’ve got no issues with it if the target is assumed to have information, that divulged could save life’s) but because he broke and exposed other captured personnel. Outside his district and lots of favorable press, he sees the exposure of his betrayals as the reason he was never the President, something which people like him never forget, ironically.
