Read this article in the Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain
As the daughter of an Air Force officer who fought in WWII and the sister of an Air Force pilot who fought in Vietnam, I believed that John McCain was a military hero. He's not. And Rolling Stone makes that crystal clear.
John McCain is a tantrum-throwing, name-calling spoiled brat in adult clothing. His only intent -- in his desperate attempt to attain the US presidency -- is to best his father and grandfather. He couldn't do it any other way.
It is beyond frightening to think of John McCain as President -- backed up by a clueless vice president with a vendetta.
