Comments on: McCain: A Question of Temperament

John McCain Admits He Has A Temper, But Opinions Differ On How Much Of A Liability It Might Be

[lindaredtail]

Good morning trapbreak. The problem is that over the last year to year and half John McCain has changed. As Hillary has done some unkind things (and so hasn''t Bill) so now McCain has capitulated for personal ambition to the far right. There was a time when I admired him though not necessarily agree with him. He stood his ground against his own party but not now. He''s changed his mind about immigration reform and visited Bob Jones and now believes the tax cuts he fought should become permanent. I always balance that sense of him I used to admire with a picture in my head of him standing on a stage with the cameras rolling for all the world to see him sing bomb bomb bomb bombbomb Iran. I even call him McBomb so I''m not so tempted by the fact that he served his country well and now doesn''t know the difference between Sunni, Shia and Al Queda. He isn''t a good candidate, not any longer. When he should have been the nominee the Republicans chose Bush. Back then the way he stood up I would have been hard pressed myself to choose between him and Al Gore.

Since when does having a temper disqualify one from being POTUS?? When are we going to get some real reporters in this country?? I am so tired of reading the BS that passes for news in the country I could hurl. There are too many important issues in this country for me to worry about Senator McCain''s temper. Along the same lines, I''d like some investigative reporting done about the record of the media darling BHO; seems his teflon coating is better than Regan''s ever was. Lest anyone think that I am partial, HRC has been thoroughly vetted by media as far as I am concerned.

In the navy ? Interesting ... very interesting. You certainly know what you are talking about ...

Answer the question I posed. Is McCain not too senile and old to be president? I say without a doubt he is.

That''s pretty funny coming from a 64 year old woman who is only 6 years younger than the man she is calling senile. Well hopefully your friends and family won''t refer to you as that "senile old Janiet in a few years". Maybe you should have your IQ checked again...I bet it has dropped just since you made these dumb comments.

"John Sidney McCain III
* MILITARY EXPERIENCE: The McCain%u2019s have held military command since the founding of this country. An ancestor was on George Washington%u2019s staff and they have been in the military ever since: 3 generals, 2 Admirals"

Without his admiral Daddy, he would have been fired from the Navy.

Finally, somebody who sees it as it is. Thanks JH.

A 16 year old story was the Washington Com-Posts Sunday Page One. And do you wonder why I''m making thousands SHORTING WPO and NYT stocks. These publishers just don''t get it. Their readers are fleeing in record numbers, revenue is decling. Yellow journalism is back. Make money by buying the April puts on NYT - NYTPD (put at 20.0) The stock should drop to about 18 in two weeks.

GOE "BLESS" AMERICA. NOT "G D" AMERICA.

*** is this?

I can''t even read this garbage!! You should REALLY consider legal action against your school district - assuming that you''re old enough to have graduated.

Let''s talk McCain''s temperament, since the corporate media treats him as if he is sacred.

-He was against Bush tax cuts during time of war before he was for them
-He was against torture before he was for it
-He was one of the Keating Five, accused of corruption in 1989 for failed S&L%u2019s that stole so many people%u2019s life savings, but slid out of it with %u201Cquestionable conduct%u201D on his Senate record
-He violates his own McCain-Feingold campaign finance laws
-He has a famously irrational temper
-He has a curious view on illegal immigration, the corporate view, all for illegals
-He didn''t support MLK Jr. Day before he did
-He has vowed publicly to be in Iraq for 100 years
-He ditties on bomb-bomb-bomb Iran snippet
-He has active cancer
-He is very elderly
-He had his first affair, with rich Cindy, now his wife
-He dumped his wife when she was disfigured in an auto accident, and waltzed off with affair Cindy
-He went with rich Cindy to Arizona, and Cindy used her money to turn John into a politician instead of a mid-level D.C. bureaucrat
-He had his second affair with Vicki Iseman
-He called wife Cindy a c***, documented by 3 different sources ("At least I don''t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c***.")
-He loves his super-supporter, evangelist Hagee, who labeled the Catholic church as the a prostitute who does not charge (USA Today chooses to censor Hagee''s actual term)

What regarding John should we talk about first?
