    McCain's certainty

    is all about soundbites, not action.

    He'll hunt down Osama to the gates of Hell. Except for when he's advocating pulling more troops to stabilize and police Iraq and then calls for them to be diverted from being sent home for a well deserved rest to take on Russia.

    He's against all liberal Supreme Court justices except for when he's voting to confirm every single one of them.

    McCain's faith display was actually about a very brave VC soldier's display. McCain was not at risk that Christmas for being Christian, the VC was. Let's hope there are a few kind Christian guards in Guantanemo showing equal kindness.

    On the side, my five year old granddaughter is also absolutely certain she is always correct and is willing to fight you for it.
