Between Nowhere and Good-bye

In the beginning I thought people more wounded than I would join me in fighting back. It didn’t work out that way. Existing is similar to torture. If somebody absorbs enough punishment, he will say whatever the sadists want him to say.
John McCain spent too many years in a North Vietnamese prison camp. He survived because he maintained his self-respect. McCain never sank to their level.
In politics he stayed on course deviating from the party line when his conscience called. Experience taught him candor brought crowd support, but rarely the top spot on the ticket.
McCain warmed to the Patriot and Military Commissions Acts, but he lost his soul when he backed the extended torture menu sought by the CIA.
John McCain has surrendered to his captors.

You have been missed. Is everything all right in the promised land?

It's sad to see what compromises he has made. In 2000 I wanted to support him, but I've never voted for a Republican (my ancestors would torture me in Hell for that.) But the other crowd beat him out of the nomination. Interestingly, even with his compromises, they are still beating him. They wanted Thompson and/or Huckabee. Imagine! An actor or a preacher. Maybe they'll trot out Ann Coulter in four years.
