Though I’ve been a harsh critic of Arizona Sen. John McCain, I have to give him credit for his heartfelt goodbye to Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, who was defeated by empty suit Ron Johnson in November’s election.
For what it’s worth, Sen. McCain is absolutely right – the United States Senate will be a much poorer place without Russ Feingold, especially considering his replacement is nothing more than an empty suit who will do whatever the GOP tells him.
I listened to this today on POTUS radio. McCain was wonderful.
Yeah, this really was a classy thing to do; it’s just a shame John McCain doesn’t have the same courage to take a principled stand like Russ Feingold did so often during his time in the Senate.
This is the John McCain I wouldn’t have minded as president. I don’t always agree with him, but I respected him when he ran.
Well of course I still respect his years of service, but some of his flip-flops make me sad because I like him.
Yeah, John McCain would have been a hell of an elected official had he just had the courage to stand behind his convictions, instead of changing positions with the political winds.
