If you read only one thing today...

...make sure it's this... a man who spent more time than John McCain in the POW camps in Vietnam writing about why he won't vote for John McCain. Some highlights:
I furthermore believe that having been a POW is no special qualification for being President of the United States. The two jobs are not the same, and POW experience is not, in my opinion, something I would look for in a presidential candidate.
I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced first hand. Folks, quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button.
I'm disappointed to see John represent himself politically in ways that are not accurate. He is not a moderate Republican. On some issues he is a maverick. But his voting record is far to the right. I fear for his nominations to our Supreme Court, and the consequent continuing loss of individual freedoms, especially regarding moral and religious issues. John is not a religious person, but he has taken every opportunity to ally himself with some really obnoxious and crazy fundamentalist ministers lately.
Read the whole thing... if for no other reason than that Widdle Johnny's "...b-b-b-but I was a POW!" excuse for wrangling out of any and all criticism won't work quite so well here.
