Less TR and more Calvin Coolidge, please.

If McCain would follow these two premises of TR it would help.

"A hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts 'Native' before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance." Theodore Roosevelt... 1915

The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer.

– Theodore Roosevelt, speech at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (July 27, 1917)

Less TR and more Calvin Coolidge, please.

I'll second that.
