You know, I'm terribly sorry that John McCain was a POW. I'm terribly sorry that he was tortured and was sick and had to suffer so. I truly am sorry that he had to endure that. And I admire him for coming through it a reasonably sane, stable individual.
However, I don't think we need to pay him back or reward him or thank him by handing him the White House.
Based on the clip that was just shown to introduce him, that appears to be what all the talk about him being a POW is about. Given that living in a box and being tortured is totally and completely irrelevant to one's qualifications for the office on Pennsylvania Avenue, I do wish they'd cut out the POW lectures and instead tell me what he actually stands for and believes in.
And no, "America" is not an acceptable answer to the what does he believe in question. I need to know his political positions. I need to know how he plans to raise our country up and move us forward. I need to know that voting with GWBush 90% of the time is a thing of the past. Because if it is not, then he is all about 4 more of the same, not change. Though if you define change as Sarah Palin apparently does...
