I am immersed in "Worth Fighting For” John McCain Book 2 and while Book 1 has me a self identified “McCainiac” Book 2 begins with rather sober remembrances of governmental figures and hard times in the House and Senate. Controversial issues that have plagued John McCain’s campaign are answered here in his own words with the thinking and behind the scenes play-by-play recounted. There are some important chapters in here about Bob Dole, Theodore Roosevelt and other historical leaders. The Vietnam POWs left behind drama is thoroughly explored. I feel like I now have a better understanding of events that occurred in the years before I was truly cognizant of politics in America. Several of Senator McCain’s 7 children are serving/have served our nation with the Navy and Marines and as civic volunteers. He and his wife have adopted one of Mother Teresa’s orphans.

There are some important chapters in here about Bob Dole, Theodore Roosevelt and other historical leaders. The Vietnam POWs left behind drama is thoroughly explored. I feel like I now have a better understanding of events that occurred in the years before I was truly cognizant of politics in America. Several of Senator McCain’s 7 children are serving/have served our nation with the Navy and Marines and as civic volunteers. He and his wife have adopted one of Mother Teresa’s orphans. McCain is clearly a conservative pro-life Republican, personal friends with Ronald Reagan. Yet he is not afraid to cross the street to get things done or stir things up. He is a let’s get this done kind of a guy who clearly enjoys his place in history, a lifetime of public service. Saved from death countless times, John McCain’s life reveals the Lord’s hand in his destiny, his life spared for just this precise moment in history. He is, I believe, the only candidate with the leadership, charisma, and character powerful enough to thwart the gathering dark forces of anti-life that define the Democratic Party. Like the inherently talented naval aviator Maverick in Top Gun, John McCain flies dangerously in defense of our Nation. He believes that America is worth fighting for. President John McCain? It’s time to buzz the tower.

“We are blessed to be Americans, not just in times of peace and prosperity, but at all times. We are part of something providential: a great experiment to prove to the world that democracy is not only the most effective form of government, but the only form of moral government. And through the years, generation after generation of Americans has held fast to the belief that we were meant to transform history.” “I may yet become the man I always wanted to be.”

Senator John McCain

“Become who you were born to be.” Elrond
