Yes, John McCain doesn't abandon ship when the going gets tough. He and Lieberman are two elected officials that are rare anymore. They both do what they believe is BEST for the country; not what is best for them politically. A rare trait indeed!

Rare indeed, some of the last few Burkean men who believe it is the job of elected leaders to tell the people what they are going to do and then do it, and that they should be voted in or out of office based on the beliefs they tell the people they will follow. Sadly though this bread is dying and is being replaced by Flip- floppers, who stick their fingers in their mouth and wave it in the air to see the direction the wind blows. The Statesmen are dead, and the politicians have taken their place.
