Today when John McCain was asked how he felt about Romney's premature attack on President Obama over the assault on the embassy in Libya, McCain didn't answer the question. Instead he began his own false and petulant attack on our president. The dotty 76-year-old McCain makes lots of such assaults, spews many ignorant statements, , and commits huge political mistakes like saddling us with the vacuous and despicable Sarah Palin. All this makes one wonder how someone who was once so respected and considered an American hero could turn into such a slime ball. Is he so bitter about losing the election that he is willing to join Romney in the deceitful vilification of an honorable president? Is he so unconcerned with his past reputation for decency and fairness that he is willing to throw it all away to defend an indefensible liar like Romney? Is he so spoiled by the wealth of his wife that he has totally been swallowed up in a philosophy of greed. We've all been told how heroic McCain was and what he suffered during six years as a prisoner of war after his capture by the North Vietnamese in 1967. This man who was a symbol of courage seems to bear no relation to the cowardly and duplicitous John McCain who so intrudes into every news cycle today. This doesn't make me wonder what changed him from hero to coward, but wonder if he actually was ever that heroic in the first place.
