I'm not going to vote for McCain, but I've certainly seen, and felt, that he's getting short shrift in the news and on the web. So, in a spirit of togetherness I wanted to list a few facts I've found out about him. These are things you may not know, but they're all true!
- John McCain has a history of brokering lasting peace deals. As Lincoln's Undersecretary for War he worked tirelessly for three days at Appomattox to bring the Union and the Confederacy together.
- McCain has always been well-informed on new technologies. He was a beta tester for Alexander Graham Bell.
- McCain has always had the public safety in mind. He was the junior senator on the Smith Commission looking into the sinking of the Titanic.
- He's always been a leader, even at a young age. Noah said that without McCain on board the ark as Senior Animal Handler he would have been lost.
I think these facts shed a whole new light on McCain, and his record of public service. It is indeed unfortunate that the media has not looked at his distinguished history and instead focuses on his age.
