I say, jangle those keys!
Who gives a fuck if McCain's PSTD can't handle it? If he can't handle something as innocuous as people rattling their keys in the air, is he truly fit to be Commander-in-Chief? Don't tell me this man has never been to a football game or NASCAR event! I don't mean to belittle his condition, but we're talking about the most important, stressful job in the world. If he's going to freak out over Democrats jangling their keys in the air, what's he going to do when the shit really hits the fan?

1. Are you people so clueless that you really think this will show the
American people that McLoon is unfit for the office, because you are hoping he'll "freak out" in front of cameras or something? The only thing the key stunt will get us is scorn. That's it.

5. It's a reminder of having 10 houses.

7. Do keys spotlight the houses AND his cheating on his wife the way this does?
(see sticker below)

NGU.

6. I think people will see a nutjob overreacting
People jingle their keys at lots of events, including some that I'm sure that McCain has attended. Please don't tell me that whenever McCain attends an NFL game, that the Secret Service announces over the loudspeaker for everyone to refrain from jingling their keys or making sudden loud noises.

13. No. He won't. It's bullshit.
McCain's got a death grip on the Victim Card and he's going to play it all day long.

2. I don't think it's about PTSD at all.
It's about him being so wealthy and out of touch that he has too many houses to count. But I do agree that, if a presidential candidate has PTSD, he should not be elected. I personally think McCain just has an anger problem and has had it all his life.

11. His temper concerns me more than his PTSD.
His temper is legendary. Even one of his co-captives says he won't vote for him because of that.

And, frankly, if he is set off by jingle keys, he's completely and utterly unfit.

12. It's not
It's a prop to call attention to the fact that McCain doesn't know how many homes he owns or what kind of car he drives. The McCain camp must be petrified about the visual message it will send so they are floating a line that the keys are to ridicule McCain's time as POW, since keys supposedly trigger a PTSD reaction in McCain. There are many "concerned" that the prop may call attention to McCain's mental illness and make the Democrats look bad.

There is absolutely nothing the Democrats will say about McCain that won't be answered with the response that McCain was a POW. rather than cowering maybe the Democrats should point out that McCain had crashed three planes before the one that went down when he was captured.

9. I agree
More attention needs to be drawn to the fact that McCain has a psychological disorder.

We may get "scorn" for the key jangling, but they can't mention that without mentioning why it's such a "bad" thing.

The man is damaged goods and has absolutely no business running this country.
