Then and Now... a dishonor to self and country.

Let's Start with some happy thoughts for Barack Obama. Today is his 47th Birthday! 
To contrast, at the end of the month, it will be John McCain's 72nd.
The Olympics start Friday. I contend that this week Barack Obama will pick his running mate. The Olympics end a day before the DNC, and I think that he will want this choice put out there before Bejing, as the already cancelled news will be even more cancelled for this debacle called sports. I have decided to stop speculating about this, as the other pundits and the bloggers have been crazy about it. Well, anyway -- on to the Monday Blog...
John McCain, February 19, 2000
Compare and Contrast, From John McCain's appearance on Hardball™, Just a few months ago (it's less than a minute) :
Interesting the things that can change a man. He is no more a maverick than the most petulant of liars. He is a man that will play dirty, and will do anything to win. He is using the most famous of all the rovian tactics... find your opponents strength and attack it.
What he has done is shown himself not to be a maverick, but a bitter nasty old man that will do whatever he can to get what he wants. I have never seen a person discard personal character and honor so quickly for personal gain. In other words... according to the John McCain of 2000 --
He has dishonored this nation he loves, and himself by letting ambition overcome principle.
:peace: and :heart:

The American people deserve to be treated with respect by those who seek to lead the nation. And I promise you, you will have my respect until my last day on earth. The greatest blessing of my life was to have been born an American, and I will never dishonor the nation I love by letting myself -- I will never dishonor the nation I love or myself by letting ambition overcome principle. Never. Never. Never.
My friends, I say to you I am a uniter, not a divider. I don't just say it, I live it. I'm a real reformer. I'm a real reformer. I don't just say it, I live it. And I'm a fighter for this country, and I don't just say it, I live it.
