Enscout: “I watched McCain’s speech last night & fell asleep about 15 minutes in.”

I agree, he started slow. But the part where he admitted that he had been broken was a big deal. And you could tell that, even now, after all that has happened and the time that has passed…and the obvious understanding and forgiveness that would have certainly come from his POW comrades, that he still felt ashamed about it.

While I disagree with McCain on many issues on what actually is best for the country, I have zero doubts that he will be doing exactly what he thinks is best and won’t be doing the usual political calculus on every last action he takes or word he utters.

Seeing that was worth the speech. I am sorry that you broke so early on.
