the dark side of john mccain (a truly loathsome human being)

[Chemisse]

69. It's a rare person who is all good or all bad.

If you want to demonize McCain, it's easy to find things to say. He's a warmonger, 'bomb bomb Iran', and much more.

If you want to honor him, you'll look at his service record, and you'll also see the moment he refused to let a woman say that Obama was not an American.

Do you want to wallow in the bad, oozing anger and hatred like a mental bed sore, or celebrate the good, lifting your spirit to appreciate the nuggets of goodness that are in us all? I prefer the latter.

What you are doing is like going to a memorial service and listing all the rotten things the dead person has done. We all have a list; none of us are angels. And if anyone stands up and says, 'what about when he (insert something good here)?' You say, no, none of the good stuff matters because he did these bad things.

While there are a few people on this earth who are such horrific people that they deserve that blanket condemnation, McCain is not one of them.

While acknowledging the bad, I intend to honor the good in John McCain.
