you could have stopped right there

McCain has always always always been a self serving creep, from his youngest days, through the navy, through his first wife (know anything about that?), through the Keating 5.....I could go on

like all republicans in power these days, he is shameless, heartless, and greedy.

a liar without compunction. you mentioned the 08 election. combine that with his perjurious testimony during the Keating 5 fiasco (along with his behind the scenes, mendacious tossing the other 4 under the bus to the media), there's little room to find him admirable on any account. if you choose to honor his service, well, there's that little thing about murdering innocent civilians in a war of aggression, a quagmire of our own making, and one in which he chose to be a good German, I mean serviceman

other than that, a great guy
