Agreed, and let me add John McCain. He epitomized the grown up, think-for-yourself Republican. I miss that.
"I can't trust Obama. I've read about him and he's not, he's not... He's an Arab. He's not..."
"No ma'am, he's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about."
John McCain, defending Obama in the midst of the 2008 campaign. Because McCain was a good, decent Republican. Sadly, one of the last.
