McCain would restart the Cold War.

[moondust]

He still has the old hard-line Cold War mindset. He wants to throw Russia out of the G8. He would continue Bush's antagonistic missile shield plans for eastern Europe/"Czechoslovakia" http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN0937822020080709 He would probably have B2 bombers in Russian airspace right now if it were up to him.

Little more than an old military madman with a dangerous temper, John McCain is without question the riskier choice this election cycle.

1. Yes he's one scary guy

Still can't believe this is the best the GOP has.

[madaboutharry]

2. He thinks it is

1964.

This is a very dangerous man. I honestly believe that the danger he poses to this country and the world will be seen in the debates.

3. ...it wouldn't be only a Cold War with Gramps at the helm.

Nosiree........

6. Yeah, the Cold War was about mutual restraint. I don't see such control in McCain.

He's just waiting to be able to blow his top. NOT someone I want with his finger on the nuclear button.

4. It's the constant need for an enemy. Republicans can't run on issues and accomplishments

So they need an enemy to demonize and strike fear into the hearts of the American people over. McCain needs a Cold War type of conflict, it's all he has. That he's so ignorant means he'll just start up the old one again, if need be.

7. GOP bogeymen:

1950s = dirty Russian commies
1960s = hippies & uppity blacks
1970s = "pro-abortionists"
1980s = gays
1990s = Hollywood liberals
2000s = gays again
2008 = dirty Russian commies

5. McCain withheld 800 pages of his health record, mostly dealing with psychological well-being

This is an angry and very dangerous man, with an infantile view of the universe.

9. He's very childish

He acts like a little kid and when he gets challenged a little you can see he starts turning red like he's going to blow his top. Obama is too cool for that game, I think it pisses McCain off. And McCain is extremely jealous, witness the celebrity ad and his deriding of Obama for it. McCain burns for celebrity. He's always on television. Made tv and film cameos. It burns him up that fame has come to Obama so easily, with little effort. I also think it tells alot about McCain that 13 years ago when he wasn't even 60 he got into an altercation with Strom Thurmond on the senate floor. That a man in his late 50s would try to rough up somebody in their 90s is absolutely appalling. McCain is infantile, embarassingly so. And when he lies and gets caught he refuses to admit it, even though there is video of it. Like when he used "time table" for example. That's what a little kid does when they lie. Deny it to the point of looking absolutely stupid.

8. I suppose he could use some of this.....

[AtomicKitten]

10. another BLOOD FOR OIL war

[doc03]

11. That's the Neo-cons wet dream, unlimited defence

spending. They may even forget about Iraq and Afghanistan, the Russians would be a better boogie man.

12. McCain would restart every war since Vietnam.

That's the only thing he knows. War,war, and more war.
