I cannot agree enough that we should respect the Office of the President but have no obligation to respect the person who holds that office when his/her words and deeds are as horrific as what we are witnessing now. I respect Senator McCain because he behaved respectfully and with honor even though I disagree vehemently with almost all of his policy positions. I don't wish him or his family ill will because we don't agree. He deserves the flag flown at half mast and the pResident deserves to die broke and in prison.
