JOHN MCCAIN
A Familiar Name in Reagan's 1974 CPAC Address
When McCain goes to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in a few days, I'll be shocked if his introduction doesn't include audio of this Ronald Reagan speech, addressing CPAC in 1974:
There are three men here tonight I am very proud to introduce. It was a year ago this coming February when this country had its spirits lifted as they have never been lifted in many years. This happened when planes began landing on American soil and in the Philippines, bringing back men who had lived with honor for many miserable years in North Vietnam prisons. Three of those men are here tonight, John McCain, Bill Lawrence and Ed Martin. It is an honor to be here tonight. I am proud that you asked me and I feel more than a little humble in the presence of this distinguished company.
I saw that and wondered why it hasn't appeared in a McCain ad yet.
