In reply to the discussion: McCain Blasts Hannity: "You Were Wrong!" [View all]maddiemom
(5,191 posts)27. Wait a minute!
My remarks about John McCain are only in comparison to his fellow Republicans these days. I'm in no way a supporter of Sen. McCain, but I still think he's hung on to some shreds of honesty. I still admire his defense of Obama to the woman who ignorantly defined him in the last election. (Compared to the smarmy reaction more recently of Santorum). He was quick to disagree with Romney's reaction just now. I'm only comparing the comparatively old gentlemen to the sad state of present Republican party.

Agreed. I also think that's one reason why some of their guests do as they're told.

Yes Palin was a mistake. But John McCain remains one of the last decent Republicans.

My feelings exactly. If McCain had retired a few years before his nomination, he's be om FOX.

I know what you mean. Very few politicians hold onto their scruples very long once they're elected.

I don't know about integrity-- but at least he's not totally delusional like so much of the right
