Political Honesty and Terminal Illness

John McCain’s forthright statements at the end of his life have left me with an idea for political honesty in general- terminal illness for more politicians! Granted, it is a rather gruesome way for them to finally win our trust. But at this point I will take honesty from politicians any way I can get it.

Anyone who follows politics, even just a little, must know about Senator John McCain and his terminal illness. In recent days I have seen a number of references to his not caring- even more than usual, what anyone thinks.  He has vowed to lay it all out there, to speak from the heart, since he has nothing to lose at this point. So we are left with John McCain speaking the truth, exactly what he feels and believes. The notion is refreshing. It’s unfortunate that all politicians everywhere aren’t dying, and thus speaking truthfully and honestly.
