    McCain was usually pretty classy. I disagreed with him on many, many issues, but always respected him.

    This is some classy shit. Man was willing to be booed at his own rallies to defend decency.

    I think he also would have been a good President overall - much better than any Republican in my lifetime. 2008 was my favorite election ever because both parties put their best candidate forward and they ran a campaign centered on respect (Palin’s antics notwithstanding).

        Obama went nuts with drone assassinations. FDR set up detention camps for American citizens. Washington owned slaves. Churchill helped set up a Zionist state leading to much of our current woes. Bernie supported the NRA until he ran for President. Clinton signed DADT.

        They all did way worse things than sing a stupid song to make the crowd chuckle.
