John McCain, a man.
McCain started out by invoking the memory of FDR, much to the chagrin of Tom Delay, who had to be sedated and hustled out the back of Madison Square Garden. As a matter of fact, none of the Delays, or the Santorums, or any of the other fire-breathing Republicans will be heard from on the podium this week. A kinder, gentler, face of the GOP is now on display. Where have these guys been? I wondered.
McCain stated early on that he didn't doubt the sincerity of his Democratic freinds, and he called them freinds, causing Karl Rove to briefly flash him the finger. ( This will not be reported on Fox News by the way.) The highlight for me, was when he called out Micheal Moore, whipping the crowd into a "four more years" frenzy. The last time that I can remember this many Republican's were this fired up was when the Star report was released in paperback.
"Love is stronger than hate." That reminds me of what some of those war protesters were saying back in the sixties. I'm glad it hasn't gone out of style. And I'm glad John McCain said it. John McCain is a man, the kind of man this country needs. I don't agree with everything he says, but that's ok, because like he said, we are all Americans.

McCain is independent, but he is also a good soldier, like Colin Powell. And neither one is willing to go outside the party during an election that is as close as this one. Powell, I believe, will be out of there, if , God forbid, the election goes their way. Hopefully, he'll write an expose detailing the lies that led to war in the first place.
But ultimately, McCain's stock is down. He drank the Kool-aide just like all the Bush apologist. I guess not everyone can have the courage of republican congressman Douglas Berueter of Nebraska, who spoke out against the war in Iraq. Although, he did wait until he announced his retirement.
