I love that you held up McCain as the standard of a political statesman - he was not perfect in many of his policies, but he was always a gentleman. We've lost that quality in our leaders so long ago now that it almost seems like a fairy tale to talk about the days when political leaders were a little less divisive.
I did like your piece. I don't typically say much about 'politics', and I still won't. What I will say however, is, We the People have been inundated by the media with the incivility of political figures towards each other, often using litotes for effect one way or the other. Oh and that democracy thing, like may other things, looks good on paper, but when was the last time it was ever used correctly?
