re: #33 Dark_Falcon

That is correct. And while I think Dr. Kings contributions warrant his having a holiday in his honor, I’m of the opinion that this particular vote by John McCain should be excused to extenuating circumstances. It was not a vote to be praised on his part, but I cannot fault a man for voting against someone who favored the people at whose hands he suffered so greatly.

simple googling shows you wrong on every point.

mccain did praise mlk and even supported mlk day in arizona.

mccain did not use alleged vietnam statements as his explanation.

his explanation was different.
