We all owe John McCain a debt of gratitude for his service to this country. John McCain is a tough individual. Throughout his career, and indeed, his life, McCain has shown that he can take a beating, but taking a beating does not necessarily a leader make.

George W. Bush is arguably one of our worst presidents in history, but he proved to be the dominant of he and McCain during the 2000 primaries, when he went negative and McCain didn't retaliate. Sure, it shows character to not go negative, but it also shows submission to allow yourself to be steamrolled as he was.

Bush even made McCain walk out on stage and HUG Bush while Bush didn't return the gesture! Either that or it was McCain's idea! For years, McCain had been our country's loyal servant, but a servant, not a leader. If you recall, Romney began jabbing McCain, and McCain's return jab was passive-aggressive, false chuckling at Romney's expense. Passive-aggressive behavior is not that of an alpha male leader.

I can't say enough that McCain's service has been admirable, but as we're all aware, service doesn't translate to leadership.
