McCain was once cool.

There was a time that John McCain would've had a chance at getting my vote. Back in the "agents of intolerance" days, when he had the guts to stand up to the Christian Right's take-over of the Republican Party.

Of course, since that time he's had his spine removed, making it easier to bend over backwards to kiss the butts of the likes of Pat Robertson.

However, I came across one additional proof point that McCain was once, dare I say it, cool. When he was held and tortured by the Viet Cong, they demanded the names of his squadron-mates. Giving in under what he humbly calls "physical pressures that were put on me", he finally provided them with some names... of the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line.
