to give Bush and pary a big fat warm hug. I respected john mccain during his run in 2000 for the same reasons you mention. when he did not stand up to defend his daughter, i lost total respect for him. I knew then without a doubt, that republician put party before family and truth, intergrity, morals and values. Republicians has no souls. This is why they can kill millions of people of color "without batting an eye".
