[Hoot Gibson]

McCain was an American hero but that time has long since passed. As a U.S. Senator, he has done nothing heroic. He has been a corrupt, dimwitted political hack who has selfishly lined his own pockets through marrage and crony capitalism. He has more in common with John Kerry and Hillary Clinton than he does with any conservative Republican.

McCain graduated very near the bottom of his class at West Point and probably would not have even been a cadet had his father not been a high ranking Admiral. McCain is a classless act and I regret casting a vote for him. I wish that I had abstained in that election. If McCain had not been shot down and captured, most of us would never have heard of the man, and that would have been a great thing for this country.
