It was recently leaked to me that John McCain was convinced he didn't need a Vice President, but his hand was forced to pick a female church-going creationist by Dobson.
A Vice-President's job is to ensure that the President is replaced in times of death or incapacity. He stands in at state funerals and breaks ties in the Senate.
If any of you think he's going to die, just cut-and-run from life...
If any of you think he can't break ties on his own, by virtue of his un-resounding will...
If any of you think that McCain's thoughts and feelings need to be expressed by an in-the-flesh representative at state funerals...
then those of you who think that way are missing the fact that John McCain is a POW.
John McCain was a POW.
He was a prisoner of war.
For a long time.
