During last night's debate, John McCain said we need "a cool hand at the tiller," but McCain has proven to be a loose cannon. He has accosted his Congressional colleagues on both sides of the aisle on everything from the federal budget to diplomatic relations. He is known for hurling profanities rather than settling disagreements calmly. His belligerence is legendary. Even conservative Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi has said, "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."
When someone earns the nickname "Senator Hothead," the public ought to call his character into question. McCain's propensity to explode undermines his abilities as a rational decision maker, particularly on national security issues -- which could prove disastrous considering our country is already involved in two wars.
McCain's temper is critical to his decision-making abilities, and his character must be discussed. As Drew Westen writes, "The political brain is an emotional brain. It is not a dispassionate calculating machine, objectively searching for the right facts, figures and policies to make a reasoned decision." That why it's so crucial people know the real Senator Hothead.
whats more shameful, fights for u and the US being a POW, or not doin nething in senate or illinios being friends with wright ayers,etc. get a clue u naive prick
Yeah, and Barack Obama who can't stand by hardly any opinions during his voting who has the power to eviscerate any nation he wants to, wouldn't start WWIII. There will always be someone behind with a suitcase handcuffed to him with the nuclear launch codes. With someone of that little experience and that much power it scares me. Like Kennedy or Carter, remember how Kennedy almost got us destroyed? And then our government killed him.
He was rejected for many reasons, not just his temper. The guy was getting weirder as time went on, there was a good chance that he would not have lived out his whole term leaving Palin as president. That's why the wisdom of the people of the USA prevailed. By voting for Obama (whether right or wrong)you guys regained our respect.
He tried to fool all of us into believing he was an honorable America.
Thankfully, the American people aren't that ignorant and kicked his ass back to AZ.
He can't threaten our beautiful country anymore.
And then our government killed him.

The USA can once again hold up its head in pride.
