In fairness to him, he became involved with democrats when it was the party of Truman and JFK. Most TV programs and magazine content were still black & white.

But damn him for sticking with it as a die-hard all the way through the Obama years.

The story I heard about John Glenn and his entry into politics as told to me by some Ohio minor GOP apparatchiks (Friends of my father.) is as follows:

Glenn first approached the Rhodes GOP machine to get their support to run for office. They turned him down. He then went to the Ohio Rat machine and they jumped on the opportunity. Glenn evolved into the typical Rat politician over time and by the fact they brought him to the dance.

John Glenn should have left politics alone. He became one of the Keating Five. That should have sealed the political fates of the culprits. However, the media allowed them to continue, and they were bad politicians.

“Then he became a democrat politician.”

And an abominable one. He was the front runner to take on Reagan in 1984, only he had no charisma.

As my political views became more concentrated the older I got, it was difficult for me to have to judge John Glenn on that rather than his aviation related contributions to our country.

A real disappointment. I know I am not alone in that sentiment.
