We don't need to mention his age or his POW status - McCain is simply CRAZY...
He's too unstable to get anywhere near the nuclear button ~ and we shouldn't be shy in saying so.

I hope someone does a compilation ad showing his temper tantrum moments, with some commentary from old military buddies, his own warmongering words ~ and a final question about that all-important button.

1. Robert Gibbs said he either forgot or is lying.
McCain ‘houses’ gaffe changing tenor of race

John McCain’s inability to name how many homes he owns is spurring him to play the POW card and Obama’s camp to go further on raising questions about the Republican’s age, the latest signs of a race being fought on increasingly personal terms.

Asked again about the matter in an interview with CBS’s Katie Couric, McCain noted: “I spent some years without a kitchen table, without a chair, and I know what it's like to be blessed by the opportunities of this great nation.”

And this morning, on Fox News Sunday, top Obama adviser Robert Gibbs made what a fairly obvious dig at McCain’s age, suggesting he was forgetful.

“Well, somebody's got to talk about how many houses John McCain has, because he either forgot how many he has, misplaced the keys to those houses, or he just wasn't being truthful with those reporters,” Gibbs said.

The toothpaste, it seems, is now out of the tube.

3. McCain is shameless when it comes to pulling out his POW card - but, bottom line, he's dangerous!

11. Yeah, the "blessing" to dump your first wife and marry into
millions. The "blessing" to receive three different stipends from the government while trying to prevent the TRULY needy from getting any help at all. And the "blessing" to be a complete and total nutjob and still have 40+% of the country willing to vote for you. Blessings indeed.

2. Obama's campaign should not call McCain honorable and they should not mention his POW years.

4. I agree 100% - we should be planting doubt about his sanity every chance we get.

5. Unstable is a better word of choice.
We know what it implies.

6. Yeah, like I said, he's too unstable to get near that button...
I'm not sure we can even use that word, but we can gather his dangerous statements and question whether he's the one to be in charge of the button.

9. McCain is too unstable to ride a bicycle let alone get anywhere near the button
He's not just mentally unstable, he can barely stand up straight.

He's not fit for command.

8. Thanks - I hadn't seen that in a long time. The stakes really are that high again...
I hope Obama isn't shy about saying so ~ the choice of Biden is a good sign imo.

(Love the face-in-the-cloud artwork!)
