While I think it's right to praise McCain for his heroism in Vietnam ( I don't care how many planes he crashed or what his graduation rank was, or who his dad was, if you spend 5 years in captivity and endure what he did, you're a hero to this country, no question about it) and for his steadfast belief in certain ideals regardless of always agreeing with them, there are two sides to every coin and we can blame McCain for the rise in the utterly ignorant, politically disconnected candidates and supporters who have had a legitimate platform since McCain chose Palin as his running mate in 2008. Palin was absolutely unfit for the VP spot, was a poorly spoken, intellectual simpleton who had no business on the national stage.
Palin gave way to people Michelle Bachman, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, etc having a voice among their party, able to play fools for fools for their own self-promotion. Nevermind the rise in Fox News and countless lower-level political blogs that fed off the collective ignorance of those who loved Palin for all the wrong reasons.
McCain can be blamed for that, no doubt.
