John McCain: Quitter-in-Chief. That's all I wanted to say.


Dear John,

As long as many of us are just faceless voices out in the electorate, we can say this more bluntly than can the others: you are a quitter.

Did you learn those values in the Navy, buddy? Whether competent enough to be president or not, nearly every American has seen you as a true personal hero, able to stand up to just about anything. And now you've shown yourself as someone who would rather run away and hide from a debate and difficult presidential campaign. Unbelievable.

Concerning the debates, here is my advice to you: Wheeze out your worthless talking points; when stumped, either talk about war or yield back your time; feel free to sit down in the chair behind you when Obama is speaking (you are a POW after all), and after 90 minutes, it will all be over.

How many of your supporters have you embarrassed by running away and hiding from this debate? Probably not many, now that I think about it.

John - may I call you John? - why don't you just grow up and apologize and see your joke campaign through to the finish. Who knows, you still might even win it. And if that happens, God help us.

He needed a "Dear John" letter. And yours is just fine.

Thank you.
