Yes! I completely agree, Allan. I remember that town hall meeting as if it were yesterday. John McCain showed his “truthful core” at that very moment. His consideration for Barack Obama earmarked the few sane & rational members left in what was once the “Grand ‘Ole Party”. A Party that no longer exists in spirit, but in name only!

John McCain’s courage and patriotism can never be denied even though I did not (nor would I ever) vote for him as I disagree with his policies most of the time.

It’s terribly tragic and sad that he is now been diagnosed with a brain tumor. But, as he fought and stayed at the Hanoi Hilton, refusing to leave his fellow servicemen, he fights again to stay alive and make a come-back in the Senate. I hope he does.

For this, he deserves my respect and all the credit this nation should give.

Thanks, Allen, for this piece!
