Disturbing video from the Texas Republican Convention this weekend shows convention-goers mocking GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw -- a Navy SEAL veteran who lost his right eye to a bomb in Afghanistan -- with the term "eye patch McCain."

And the real McCain spent years in a North Vietnamese prison. Your military service is appreciated, but it doesn't grant you a pass for life, and it doesn't make it OK to support legislation contrary to the values of the country.

Crenshaw supports gun control. That's a deal-breaker for me, and should be for anyone that honors the Constitution.

It's worse than not honoring the constitution. It is a critical failure to understand the point of the 2nd which is to maintain a society that is not enslaved to government which is the overarching foundation of the republic. It is this lack of understanding on his part that makes him completely unsuitable as an elected (supposedly..) rep to the US congress, especially on the Republican side.

It is further incongruous that he "served" in the military and doesn't know this or refuses to adhere to it. It is almost like he is on someone's payroll...
