John McBitter

As a former admirer of John McCain, I have to say that I've been so disappointed with him ever since the election of Barack Obama. Now I don't blame him for being upset after trying twice running for President in the last 10 years and losing both times (I really wish he would've beat George W Bush back in 2000). It's hard work to travel around the country to sell your agenda and raise money promising the world to your supporters. It's exhausting work and it takes a toll on your health and also your family life. I respect anybody that goes for it even though I totally disagree with a candidate's whole agenda. It's a tough business and losing must be heartbreaking.

John McCain is a true public servant that gave 5 1/2 years of his life in a Vietnamese jail and I respect him for surviving that awful experience then making something of himself in life. He's been a good Senator in the past by having a good record working in bi-partisan efforts. I was hoping that after he lost the election to Obama that he would return to public service working as an independent-thinking man that put common sense in front pity partisan rubbish but unfortunately, he's been acting like a bitter cry baby. It's a shame that he's become such a partisan hack and instead of leading his party, he's become a follower to the old boy network that is the Republican party. He's up for re-election to his Senate seat this year and although his rival JD Hayworth is a far-right political hack, in a way I want to see McCain lose because he doesn't seem that into the job anymore and he's moving away from his common sense approach to pandering to the right-wing of his party to retain his Senate seat. It's a shame to see how he's fallen so far down.

Before I forget to mention it, I'll never forgive him for picking Sarah Palin as his VP. He exercised poor judgement in trusting putting this moron only a heartbeat away from the Presidency. He also made her into an over night celebrity that won't go away. Shame on him.
