| I read the blog and must say that while I was entertained, it made very little sense, so I have to disagree with your point that Jim makes sense when he talks politics. It was like reading a literary tantrum by a six-year-old. You ask whether McCain should be respected because of his war record -- I ask if Obama should be respected by his own lack of a record. By the way, yes, McCain should be respected for his wartime service, but that doesn't mean he is qualified for President. He served honorably and deserves that recognition. > I urge everyone to take the time to read Jim's latest blog > about the Republicans. He makes great sense whenever he > discusses politics.
