A short-tempered old man who’s clearly suffering from both elitism and PTSD, and a petty, vindictive former beauty queen who belongs on an episode of Dr. Phil. And these are the best that the Republicans put forward. Their shameless cynicism must not be rewarded.
Poor McCain: can’t reconcile the fact that he was partially responsible for the deaths of 134 sailors aboard the USS Forrestal in 1967 during the Vietnam conflict. Can’t reconcile the fact that he saw the horrors of napalm up close in the Forrestal fire and continued to apply it to Vietnamese civilians. Can’t reconcile the fact that he broke under torture and signed a war crimes confession. Can’t reconcile the fact that even after the debacle of the South Carolina primary in 2000, he campaigned for Bush. Or that even after he pushed for the anti-torture bill, Bush’s signing statement essentially negated the law, and McCain swallowed it anyway. Weak character defines his life.
Just imagine how tortured and angry he must be after all that. Even before his Vietname experience, he was known for having a volatile temper and being unpredictable. All of those horrors he experience has only made that worse.
His nearly uncontrollable temper is legend. His treatment of the families of POW/MIA servicemen is disgraceful. He broke under torture and attempted suicide.
“Bob Dole Admits John McCain Has A Temper”; “John McCain’s Temper His Undoing!”; “Harkin: McCain’s temper is ’scary’”; “Will McCain’s Temper Be a Liability?”; “Should John McCain’s temper be a campaign issue?”; “John McCain’s $#@%$#@ Temper.”
Clearly, this person should not be president. We’ve already experienced the amiable dunce of George W. Bush. We don’t need to experience the Doctor Strangelovian craziness of John Sidney McCain, III.
