He cared so much about his fellow POWs, that when the Viet Cong told McCain that it was his time to be released, he refused and made them let one of the other prisoners go. He did this again and again until the POW camp was liberated in 1973. He refused to go home and leave anyone behind. Calling McCain a coward is like calling the sky green.

Very well put.
Chances are I will be voting for McCain. I'd rather have more of a centrist than a pure republican at this point.
PBody is exactly right about national health care, too. It will
NOT be the same level of care that we get now. I know people that come to the US for treatment all the time. One guy brought his mother here to get a hip replacement and paid for it out of his own pocket, because she was too old to get one (70 something). She wouldn't have been on a list, she never would have gotten one in her home country. In Britain the national dentist stuff is so bad that a lot of people are buying dental tools off of ebay and doing home dentistry.
