I love that crazy old coot

I might have voted for John McCain had he been the Republican nominee in 2000. Thankfully, he wasn't, because he has since proven to be pretty batty.

But, I gotta hand it to him: regardless of the number of issues on which we might disagree, I admire him for following his conscience. Sometimes his conscience leads him towards threatening war with Iran, and that's not so good. But sometimes he challenges his own party in ways that they really need.

For example, in the last debate, on the topic of immigration, McCain had this to say: ?We need to sit down as Americans and recognize these are God?s children as well, and they need some protections under the law, and they need some of our love and compassion.? Pretty good stuff, considering the GOP field was at that point attacking each other over who had coddled immigrants the most and was therefore unworthy of nomination.
