McCain’s Problem Temper

by Chris Edelson  ::  Filed Under Elections 2008  ::  August 26th, 2008 @ 5:57 pm EST

I like this story: Democratic senators who have witnessed McCain’s unpredictable temper in action are warning that his volatility raises serious questions.  Politico says unnamed Republicans are claiming that this issue is invented, but it’s hard to take that seriously given that several members of McCain’s own party, including Republican senators, have said the same thing, or worse, about McCain’s problem temper.

The Washington Post ran a blockbuster piece on this back in April but no one has made this into an ongoing criticism-yet.  Great to see that Sens. Durbin and Boxer are raising this serious question now–let’s keep this going.  One thing I really like about this point is that McCain can’t trot out the POW trump card as a response–it makes even less sense than in other contexts for McCain to say–lay off my bad temper, I was a POW.

One RESPONSE to “McCain’s Problem Temper”

COL. A.M.Khajawall [ret] says  ::  August 27th, 2008 @ 11:16 am EST

Dear American Citizens and the mass media of U.S.A.

As a concerned disabled American Veteran and American citizen, I consider it my duty and responsibility to bring following critical characteristics of so called Maverick McCain to you for proving me wrong or right.

“The citizens of the United States of America have the ultimate responsibility to elect the ” Right Candidate with the right temperament” to lead our nation’ to address our nations present and future moral, democratic, economic, educational, health care, energy, military, and foundational soul of our nation.

In my firm professional opinion that the media should help the common voter to explore and discuss following attributes of Hon. Senator McCain.

1. Does he have a calm, cool, and collected ” temper ” [ Presidential Temperament ]?
2. Does he have a sound and sustained “Judgment and Caliber”?
3. Does he have a reveal a presidential “Thought-fullness and togetherness” of purpose and positions?
4. Does he lot or little “ex-poser and exploitation” around Washington”?
5. Does he poses enough ” Vigor, wisdom and Vision ” for our Great-grand Nation?
6. Does he poses foreign policy exploit-es based on ” American Values, Virtuous, Vastness”?
7. Does his campaign talk. slogans and ads are based of facts and free of fiction, deception, seduction, and attacks?

If your answer to the above questions is yes then recommend and vote for him.

But in my professional. political, and personal opinion that vote is against the common interests majority of American people, against the world humanity, continuation of status qua and possibly dangerous world order.

Long live U.S.A and its democratic people and their common sense.

COL.. A.M. Khajawall [Ret] MD., Colonel, USAR / MC Combat Stress Control[Ret], Disabled American Veteran and Iraq Freedom team.

PS: Please google McCain and temper read what his senator colleagues and others are saying about it.
