On KO just now, talking about the generals who are backing Democratic candidates

[deminks]

Keith saying that these and others are saying that McCain doesn't just lose his temper frequently, they all have been yelled at by senators, but that "More Wars" McCain really 'loses his mind' with anger to the point he should not have his finger on the button.

I will watch for a transcript or video later.

Wow, questions of fitness for duty, should become a campaign issue. Not just about age. It's about self control, something the Chimperor never had either.

1. How does that square with

him having passed the threshold to be Commander-in-Chief, according to one Hillary Rodham Clinton???

[tridim]

2. Big time campaign issue

I'm certain McCain will show his temper at the debates. Only the 19%-ers will like it.

4. After Castro stepped down, McCain said he hoped Castro would meet

Karl Marx soon. I really don't think our leaders should be wishing leaders of other sovereign nations dead and I hope the Dems slam McCain on shit like that.

It's that judgment thing, you know?

5. K&R

I'd really love to see that video! I've seen a few videos of McCain that demonstrated
his temperament and it's not pretty!

Examples-- McCain to Kid: "You Little Jerk; You're Drafted!"

7. Good point

poor anger management can happen at any age, and is a character flaw that one must take into seriously consideration when choosing the Chief Executive.

[Mnemosyne]

8. Poor anger management may also come from PTSD, either way,

McSame mcsucks!

10. Here is the Countdown video.

A report of the Benjamin article, not a vid of McCain blowing up.;-)
