Putting country first (for once)

From the John McCain website:

For our fellow citizens,

Let us put country first.

"I pledge that tomorrow night and if necessary throughout our convention, we will act as Americans and not as Republicans because America needs us now..."

But after the convention no doubt or the storm passes, apparently which ever comes first, we can expect more partisanship, more attempts to dismantle government down to a size where it can be drowned in a bath tub, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So for one week out of every four years, the GOP will put country first.

As honest an assessment as any ever to slip.
