America stands to elect one of two men as its head of state. It stands at a cross roads where it can go down one of two ways. The two men who have the Presidency of the greatest nation on Earth within their reach are as different as light and darkness; as different as fire and water; and much as oil and water, their views do not mix and are at eternal odds with each other. Four of the nine justices of the Supreme Court, who in many ways are far more influential then any others in government, those who can rule the country without democratic consent of the people without fear of reprisal near retirement and America stands to choose the man who can impact this country even for years after his death by appointing their replacements.

John McCain is a hero to the American people unparalleled in the history of this country. He served his country gallantly for twenty-three years in its Navy, retiring with the eagles of a Captain upon his epaulettes; he has continued his service for the last twenty seven years with the people of Arizona electing him to represent them in the House of Representatives and later the Senate by wide margins. In his exactly fifty years of continuous service to this country, he has consistently fought for it, first in a fighter jet with bombs and cannon; when captured by never surrendering and with constant resistance and later with words and his vote in congress. He fought against communism, and whence our enemies captured him, he endured five and half years of brutal torture, never ceasing in his belief in his country, even as the evil and misguided youth
