John McCain has a love of country that is in the core of his being in the same way that his love of God resides there. Because of this love, he cannot do something that he believes will hurt his country. He could not publicly attack the target rich environment of Congressional Democrats, who have been permanently stained with blame for the current financial crisis, while critical negotiations were in progress. Such attacks might derail or delay action to save the economy. It was not a selfish political choice or calculation. Rather, it was the only thing his love of country could allow him to do. Time and again he has shown throughout his life that he can be trusted to do what he believes is the right thing. This is why McCain did not attack Obama and the Democrats during the recent debate for their legislative and oversight failures. It was not that he debated ineffectively. He simply could do no other than to put his country first.
