    He has a reputation in the Senate, but the question is how bad is it? I agree that if it's bad, then he has no business being President of the United States.

  • I just saw this on tv.

    Wow, we still have six weeks left. I wonder how ugly it's going to get!
  • So you are getting tortured and what you are supposed to be all quiet, or what happy? Give me a break, this would be really bad if this hits tv adds for Obama.

    Stupid. So he's got an occasionally abrasive personality. So fucking what? So do I. So do most of the posters in the AMT. It hasn't precluded him from being a senator for the past century. Worry about the fucking issues. This is just more tangential bullshit. There are plenty of real, issues-based reasons not to vote for him. Stick to those.

    The guy has anger management problems going back to when he was a teenager that he himself admits got him into lots of hot water. We're not talking prisoner of war stuff here; we're talking a guy who has trouble controlling his temper.

    The "so what" is many people are very uncomfortable with the idea of having a guy with anger management issues in charge of the the "red button." Dubya has been bad enough with his self-esteem issues. Iraq was a direct result of that. What do we need now? Another guy who just knee-jerks to situations instead of thinking about what's best for this country? I don't think so. We need someone who can put us ahead of his immediate needs to blow off steam or show daddy up. McCain's temperament IS a real issue because Americans will live and die based on the temperament of one man, just as they always have.

    That's not what he has according to statements by Senators in the past. He has anger management issues possibly.

    I'm not judging, just saying that if it's true he has no business being President, if it's only an occasional abrasive personality, then it's a non-issue, but at the moment it's a story worth bringing out because of reports about this prior to him running for President this year. Not because of that ad.

    This is very true but this may affect him in making snap decisions though. In the big picture not a major issue.

    Ya but you don't have a nuclear weapons button at your fingertips do you???

    Nobody is saying that McCain doesn't have a damn good reason to have these issues...not one person here is unsympathetic to the suffering he has endured. What we are saying is that if he can't control his anger it could get the US...hell it could get the whole world in to a whole lot of shit.

    I guess if one person says it then it must be true.

    yeah... maybe someone can pay a few former POW's to go on TV and say that he is unfit to be commander in chief. Maybe even give them a catchy name like "POW's for Truth" or something like that.

    It's especially true when someone resorts to personal attacks as opposed to debating the topic.

    I look McCain's time as a P.O.W. as a negative. I can't for a moment imagine that he wasn't screwed up because of it. Thanks for you service, but I think I'd like you better as a beer baron, Sen. McCain.
