McCain: My Good Friend Ted Cruz Should Apologize to My Other Good Friend Bob Dole

I'm now glad McCain lost the race as President of the United States.  Something happened to the GOP which would nominate such a man to run.  The thing that's wrong with what he just said was that Cruz was referring to principles, it wasn't personal.  McCain just turned it into something personal.  This is a Democrat type trick.  Something that Bentsen did to Quayle.  It has nothing to do with what Cruz said.  It was a deliberate lie, an obfuscation, a fraud.

Not to mention that McCain is playing up to the left with this remark.  They'll love this and he knows they'll love it.  That's why he's doing it.

If McCain was interested in anybody but himself, he would not talk this way.

You see, that's what's missing here.  We are fast approaching the type of society that worships the leaders and not the type of society in which the individuals are put first.  When you worship the leaders, they serve themselves first, not the people who put them there.  Thus, McCain is serving himself first.  Not the country.  He's a got a great schtick where he pretends to be serving the greater good, but in the end, it's all about John McCain.

Why would I run for Senate myself?  The only thing I could bring to the table is my willingness to serve.  I have no awards, medals, nor any qualifications.  But I am not running to add this to my resume.  I don't consider the office my reward, but my duty to my country.  I wouldn't become someone like McCain.  If I ever did that, I would leave.  To someone like McCain, we are just another one of his awards.  He does not serve us, nor represent us.
