  • save some of that boot for me!

    seriously though you don't know me or my politics. I have plenty of time for nuance but best-worst-ism is not that. McCain would only deserve praise in contrast to the horror of the extremist Republican party. He was a run of the mill free market neocon bastard who just happened to be good on the telly and enjoyed trolling the president. Liberals and their idols, man.

    Politics is big boy stuff and these guys play with real people's lives. All I'm saying is that the world would have been better off without John McCain - his occasional ineffectual grandstanding does not exonerate him.

  • McCain would only deserve praise in contrast to the horror of the extremist Republican party.

    Contrast him with e.g. Blair or Cameron or even JRM. If he were in the UK he would be universally hated.
