Fred Thompson's Speech on John McCain

Fred Thompson gave a thrilling, inspirational and emotional speech on the character of John McCain. Thompson told of McCain's incredibly abusive treatment as a POW at the hands of the Vietnamese Communists. With multiple bones broken, near death and suffering from dysentery, he experienced frequent beatings and torture; but McCain refused to provide military information to his captors and refused to be used as a propaganda tool, proving a level of character and bravery that most of us can scarcely imagine. John McCain is clearly an American hero and highly deserving of the Presidency.

As Thompson said, "It's pretty clear there are two questions we will never have to ask ourselves, "Who is this man?" and "Can we trust this man with the Presidency?"

Amen. It was a great speech.
