I believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that myself and others have shown 'real proof' that Senator McCain has character.

Con-pilot:
1. All opinion is, by definition biased. "Biased opinion" is redundant, really. This is why I was careful to voice not my opinion, but that of your more mainstream historian, biased as it may still be.
2. I'd forgotten about Ulysses Grant, don't know that much about him after the civil war, thank you for mentioning him.
3. On evidence of Mr. McCain's conduct in Vietnam, I'll grant you having proven his character...
But I'm still puzzled. John McCain's character was murdered in the last election by the guy that ended up in the oval office (again). Nobody seemed to mind at the time. GWB himself seems to have shown a definite absence of character in his life prior to entering the white house.. yet i did not hinder him getting elected twice. And after getting rid of McCain in the primary he beat another decorated war hero in the general election.
Hmmm.. so it's not about character at all then...
Could it be it's just about the brand? Could it be that half the people will vote Republican and the other half Democrat no matter what made-up turkey is on the ballot for either side? That would make this thread slightly moot, now wouldn't it?
