Thanks to Sen. John McCain for keeping his word. McCain called for bipartisanship from his colleagues and pressed senators to act as public servants regardless of party affiliation over discussion of the health-care bill proposed last week.
After a dramatic return to Washington, D.C., to cast his vote for the motion to proceed last Tuesday, McCain declared along with his vote of “yes” that it was a “shell of a bill,” and that he was only voting to further the discussion.

Without the direct attack on the World Trade Center, and subsequent overt terrorism perpetrated by Islamic extremists, “Muslim hating” would hardly exist
