Perhaps, but he’s also a nanny state liberal A-hole.
Even the most perfect machine isn’t perfect.
You can have the RIGHT stuff, the RIGHT values, and the RIGHT attitude, and somehow still get seduced into falling for a bunch of left wing nonsense.
I had the pleasure of spending the day with Senator Glenn and his wife touring the Kennedy Space Center back in the '90s. I found him to be a man of exceptional character and grace.
Something you obviously lack sir/madam.
In the early ‘80’s, I was supposed to go to a Boy Scout event...and Glenn was scheduled to be there. A real live astronaut!
He backed out at the last minute.
Good guy, just can’t figure why and how he was such a lib while a senator. Must’ve drank the kool-aid along the way.
When I lived in Ohio, each week our local paper published the votes of our 2 Senators and the Representative in the House. All three were left-leaning Democrats. Senators were Glenn and Metzenbaum. House Representative was Fingerhut. Nearly every week, their votes made me feel nauseated. That’s how I remember Glenn.
Go to hell John Glenn.
I didn’t say he didn’t possess those characteristics. He was however, one of THE most liberal Senators ever and he did a lot of people a lot of harm with his ridiculous ultra liberal voting record.
And you know what you can do with the last sentence of your comment.
John Glenn is a worthless POS.
You got that right.
How does your touring experience with Glenn and his wife rebut the poster’s statement to which you responded?
I’ve met a great many people who defended the Great Clinton with the same sort of statement as yours, as if perceived “character and grace” negates any and all criticism, and the person who dares criticize a “national hero” OBVIOUSLY lacks such “character and grace”.
Glenn was and is a leftist and a tool, and enjoys Big Media’s unquestioning support.
In advance, may I say that I don’t care if you respect my “lack” of character and grace.
WELL SAID!
Obviously I agree about the poltics
But the story’s about his wife... I found his loyalty moving, anyway
Glenn is also a war hero and all the rest, I would call him naive and soft hearted to the extreme politically, for whatever reason
He’s not the nasty breed of gangster-commie we see today, anyway

I fart in John Glens general direction.
Obviously I agree about the poltics- I grew up in Ohio, and been scratching my head since the Reagan era re. what John Glenn is thinking

John Glenn was a real life, honest to God HERO.
Then he became a politician.
Then he accepted a bribe.
End of Hero
