(SEE WHAT MCCAIN HAS SOLD OUT: HIS OWN INTEGRITY)

(McCain is Not the Same Man)

(Seeing McCain through rose colored glasses)

(telling it like it is)

(A book likely to get popular again soon)
Here you can see a glowing report of John W. McCain in 2002 surrounded by several of the GOP sharks who have since resigned in disgrace, such as Dick Armey, The Hammer DeLay and of course the vicious Karl Rove. Having learned to defeat them he became them, and worse.

What this book best demonstrates is how well, how skillfully, McCain controls the media, including the once great Drew. See also Free Ride: John McCain and the Media, see also Drew's Fear and Loathing in George W. Bush's Washington and Corruption of American Politics: What Went Wrong and Why among her many others. How the mighty fell . . .

I read a lot of books on political figures, this one included. And, while a long time GOP supporter, I can no longer support John McCain. I don't believe he is the same man that was described in this book. In fact, he seems to have lost his way, and his former values. I had been thinking this for some time, and have been slowly moving to "the other side" for this election.

Now, I just read that even the author of this book, who admired him and spent a lot of time with him during the research of this, has become dismayed, and has publically stated that he is no longer a man of principals. I admire the author for having the courage an intelligence to admit that things change.

That said, this is a great book about the "old" John McCain. Not the different one who is now running for President, the one who has lost his way.

So much is published about John McCain from those who seem to know him only from the campaign trail and yet we actually get to see only the side of him that he willingly presents for the cameras and not a more complete and honest account of the man.

One one side, McCain is a war hero. On the other McCain as a war hero returned home to find his loving and dutiful (first) wife, mother of McCain's three oldest children horribly injured and permanently disabled. What do you think John McCain did then and why do we see so little of that part of his life?

On June 8, 2008 the Times UK provided objective insight and in the process of exploring the complete life of John McCain and in the process revealed a side of McCain that demonstrates he is a first rank opportunist whose ambition rules integrity.

John McCain met his first wife, Carol while he was at the US Naval Academy. The Times UK article notes that McCain was "a privileged, but rebellious scion of one of America's most distinguished military dynasties - his father and grandfather were both admirals." An examination of McCain's performance at the academy shows he was often disciplined for misbehavior and ultimately graduated near the bottom of his class. McCain struggled at the Naval Academy, finishing 894th out of 899 students, and was rejected by the U.S. National War College until his family intervened with the Secretary of the Navy. In active service, McCain was, by his lengthy acknowledgement in a commencement address given recently, a "discipline problem" resulting from a violent disposition with poor judgment and that he was frequently insubordinate. By all accounts McCain was slow to prove himself.

The Times UK article explains that when McCain returned to America in 1973 he had simultaneous personal high and low points. On one side he proved himself to be a war hero as a POW and he was lauded by Richard Nixon upon his return. When he returned he also found that his wife, Carol, had been seriously hurt in a violent car crash three years earlier. After six months of medical procedures, Carol was discharged from the hospital but her prognosis was bleak. Carol suffered through surgeries that whittled away her legs and she was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter. Despite the trauma and the disability, Carol learned to walk again through sheer force of will, but during recovery Carol gained a lot of weight and suffered from a lot of pain. H. Ross Perot, the brilliant billionaire Texas businessman, future presidential candidate and tireless long-time advocate for American prisoners of war, paid for Carol's medical care.

Carol told the Times UK that she thought they would live happily ever after once John was home. But with new wings as a war hero, McCain was moving in ever-more elite circles. Ross Perot introduced McCain to Governor of California, Ronald Reagan. Nancy Reagan immediately liked Carol and took her under her wing.

But by that point the McCains' marriage had begun to fray and according to the Times UK, quoting Robert Timberg: `John started carousing and running around with women.' The Times UK author pens that in 1979 - while still married to Carol - John met Cindy at a cocktail party in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued Cindy, flying around the country to see her. Then with Cindy effectively won, McCain began to push to end his marriage.

Carol and McCain divorced in 1980 and one month later he married the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, this girl named Cindy who was 18 years younger. Carol attributes the divorce to John's inability to be mature. Carol and her children were absolutely devastated. `It was a complete surprise,' says Nancy Reynolds, a former Reagan aide.

The Times UK story digs deeper and adds that "[s]ome of McCain's acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to `play the field'. They accuse McCain of seeking marriage to Cindy, the former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons." In 1980 McCain was earning a naval officers salary, while his new father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was a multi-millionaire with deep political connections. McCain has acknowledged that he had girlfriends during this time with Carol, without going into details.

Although McCain is a war hero there are many who won't forgive or forget his treatment of his first wife. The Times UK quotes Ted Sampley, who the newspaper describes as veteran who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam and who is now a leading campaigner for veterans' rights. The Times UK write that Sampley said: `I have been following John McCain's career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is - deceit. When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it. Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better. This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.'

As a final point the Times UK adds that Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel - even by the standards of modern politics. According to the Times UK, Perot said that `McCain is the classic opportunist. He's always reaching for attention and glory.'





During the political season, it is good to read a political book which just gives some straight talk without attacking. Citizen McCain documents some of the years in which McCain worked with Congress on the McCain Fiengold Campaign Finance Reform Bill. After Congress got through with it, the final bill was not the same as it started. I'm sure he would like to see more reform. (At the time this was written, most people had not heard of Obama.)

The book gives insight into how Congress works and how it takes persistance, cooperation, and the maturity to have the patience of Job to get a bill passed. I enjoyed seeing him at work.

One trait which has not gotten the attention it deserves is his empathy. The author states: "...the empathy of someone who's suffered for someone he sees is hurting. There's a kindness, even a sweetness, that's unusual for people so ordinarily self-centered as polilticians." This book also shows his leadership during 9-ll.

Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir offers more insight into McCain especially his experiences as a POW. It also shows how he was a maverick even when he was 2 years old. In this autobiographical book, it is amazing how much he talked about the importance of others and the need to serve a cause greater than self-interest. It is not an "all about me" type of book.

As the 2008 election season ripens, this six-year old "classic" will give you an extra interesting angle on one of the presidential candidates, and maybe future President of the US. No matter what, this work's popularity will increase shortly, then drop off sharply after January, 2009!

The interesting angle comes from Elizabeth Drew, a columnist, pundit, and traveler-with author. Not everyone will like this kind of story, a sort of short-interval biography, or an informal/insider diary of trials and travels with a famous Senator. Nevertheless, it is a good tale showing in some detail what a national legislator must do to get his bills passed. In this case, of course, the legislation centers around campaign financing, resulting eventually in the McCain-Feingold law. One is also left marveling how anything much gets passed through Congress in the first place.

Clearly, the author liked John McCain, and liked following the thread of the Senator's political life, as well as schmoozing in the company of the Senate's most famous maverick. She astutely points out, though, that an effective legislator has to get real business done, and McCain showed often how he was not a wild-shooting, alienating maverick. Given the author's usual philosophical tendencies, one also wonders what she will be thinking as the '08 campaign winds along. One bet might be that she will be "all kinds of sorry" she wrote such a glowing, pal-sy book back then!

Congressional politics can be a dirty, rough-and-tumble game, but Washington legend Elizabeth Drew takes us ringside to an unusually fierce fight: the quest for campaign finance reform, spearheaded by maverick senator John McCain.

Little known outside Arizona, McCain gained prominence when he broke from the Republican leadership and still came close to earning his party's nomination for the presidency in 2000. Derailed by George Bush (whose lieutenants, one of Drew's interviewees remarks, fought "the dirtiest, nastiest campaign I've ever seen"), McCain struck out against entrenched, big-money interests, earning plenty of enemies on Capitol Hill and plenty of admirers outside the Beltway. Drew gives us a day-by-day, sometimes hour-by-hour account of McCain's courtly but tough battle, fought with handshakes here, cajoling there, and shrewd calculation everywhere.

Readers wanting to know how things really get done in Washington have a fine guide in Drew, and admirers of McCain will find still more reasons to respect him after watching him in combat.--Gregory McNamee
The most original, the most sought-after politician in America today, Senator John McCain is at the front of a large movement -- people who are dissatisfied with the way politics is conducted in this country. They are eager for change, and McCain's independence and his vigorous leadership have inspired them.

Granted unique access to the Senator and his closest aides, prizewinning journalist Elizabeth Drew offers a close-up, fascinating account of Senator McCain as he goes about the legislative business of achieving campaign finance reform, his signature issue, building coalitions, and working across party lines. As she shows him in action, McCain is revealed as a shrewd and long-sighted strategist, someone who works with his colleagues far more successfully than his image might suggest. We see this original mind at work and get new insights into his complex personality.

Drew also shows how McCain has broadened his agenda, putting him at a pivotal place in American political life.

In this riveting narrative, replete with McCain's unusual candor, and his unorthodox ways, we see how this war hero turned political leader is showing the public -- and cynical Washington insiders -- that there are other ways to go about working for the public good.

(The Bad Son)

(interesting contemporary romance)
THE BAD SON by Linda Warren
October 28, 2006

Amazon rating 3.5/5


"In the latest in a series featuring the McCain brothers, The Bad Son is Beau McCain, a successful lawyer with a good heart. Growing up, his father used to call him a bad son, for taking his mother's side in a nasty divorce, while another brother chose to live with their father.

All his life Beau has liked Macy Randall - as they grew older like turned into love. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to reciprocate. Beau hasn't had any success with long-term relationships - he can't get Macy out of his mind. Macy has a secret about her short-lived marriage but hasn't told anyone, including her best friend Beau. This secret has prevented her from forming close relationships. While she loves Beau and considers him her best friend, she refuses to get any closer to him. She's afraid that her secret will cause him unhappiness and that she will ultimately lose him." - complete review at BookLoons - M. Lofton


I enjoyed the plot line that was the center of THE BAD SON but I had a problem with some of the dialog, which often felt stilted to me. The end of the story also seemed a bit too much drama for me, but otherwise the book was enjoyable, including the sub plot that centered on Beau's mother.

Waco family lawyer Beau McCain loves Macy Randall, but he has little hope of gaining her trust as she was burned badly in her first marriage. Adding to his unhappiness is that he believes she sees him as her big brother, someone's strong shoulder available when she needs one.

When her troubled pregnant sister Delia comes home to give birth, Macy turns to Beau for strength as she knows that her sibling is incapable of nurturing a child. However, when her sibling abandons her newborn Zoe, Macy needs Beau even more so. He finally tells her he loves her and she says she cares too much to tie him down with a woman who cannot bear children. However, Beau has a new incentive to persuade his beloved that they can raise a loving family together staring with the baby left behind.

THE BAD SON is an interesting contemporary romance starring two likable lead characters who readers know early on love one another, but seem doomed to never forging a relationship beyond friendship though the baby obviously serves as a matchmaker. In some ways Delia is the more fascinating character as the audience observes her destructive behavior and even after she leaves begins to learn about her legal issues on top of her behavioral problems. The fourth McCain brother tale is an interesting family drama.
