There is something seriously wrong with John McCain.

[Postman]

He smiles at extremely inappropriate times or situations, has anger management issues and seems to have learned nothing, from his years in captivity as a POW, about war.

His recent "straight talk" about there's going to be more wars if he's the President should be enough information that anyone needs to know that this guy is flat out nuts.

[aquart]

1. Arteries like rocks.

[tekisui]

2. He is drugged to control his anger.

[Virginia Dare]

42. They need to up his meds then...n/t

[acmavm]

3. There's something seriously wrong with ALL those bastards.

[Virginia Dare]

43. True, there is something wrong with anybody who is a repub..n/t

[Ian David]

4. On the other hand, he believes in Global Warming and is against a Federal Marriage Amendment.

Which means that the first six months of his presidency before he pushes the nuclear button and annihilates the entire human race would be more tolerable than the two months before Romney would kill us all.

[Nitrogenica]

5. My friends, he will repeat talking points we've all heard over

and over and over again.

[geardaddy]

49. *shudder*

Is that from "Eraserhead"?

[OffWithTheirHeads]

6. He's a Republican. Of course something is wrong with him

nt

[forwhatsright]

11. McCain

You've got that wrong, if you would do your research about the policies he supports (ex: McCain/Feingold), he is a Democrat hiding in a Republican suit!

[Postman]

14. Funny, I don't see any Democrats acting like Dr Strangelove advocating war ...

McCain is as much a Democrat as Joe Lieberman is...

[Canuckistanian]

15. We welcome all Rush fans

Stick around, you may learn a thing or two....

And again, welcome
:toast:
:hi:

[gateley]

20. ...

:spray: :rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

32. The "Tom Sawyer" type, not the "Hillbilly Heroin" type.

:)

[Webster Green]

17. Bullshit!....He's the chimp on steroids!

He'll fucking re-invade Viet Nam.

Welcome to DU!:hi:

[OffWithTheirHeads]

38. You mean like Lieberman?

nt

[Virginia Dare]

44. Yeah, like staying in Iraq for 100 years....

real "liberal" of him... :eyes:

[Warren DeMontague]

46. He supports the GOP agenda of outlawing the birth control pill.

That's Republican enough for me.

I guess he doesn't flatly reject scientific fact out of hand- he believes, supposedly, in evolution, he acknowledges that human increases in CO2 concentrations are affecting the planetary climate.. so in some ways I supposed he's slightly better than the Flat Earth fucking fundy ninnies who comprise the nose-picking, creationist base of the GOP.

But he's still a Republican. Believe me.

[rucky]

7. One thing I've got to admit...

if he has to run against Hillary, i think it would send him over the edge.

[BuyingThyme]

8. Good lordy; can you imagine watching Hillary and McCrazy debate?

It will be like a puppet show where the puppeteer is drunk off his ass.

[NanceGreggs]

9. Honestly ...

... I think he's not well, mentally (yeah, I know we tend to say that about all Republicans, but I'm serious).

He seems to lose focus in the middle of a sentence. He's been caught a few times in the past few weeks refuting statements which he himself made only a week or two ago.

I don't think this man is mentally stable - and living in the pressure-cooker of campaigning is taking its obvious toll.

[murbley40]

39. I have thought those same thoughts, seriously.

We certainly do not need another mentally ill President.

[Virginia Dare]

47. Joe Scarbore was going off this morning..

about how he continually lied last night about what Mitt Romney said, while waving around that piece of paper. Seriously, he looked delusional when he was doing that. If he does that kind of thing in the GE, he'll get trounced.

[NanceGreggs]

50. Yeah, JeffR and I were just discussing ...

... this after tonight's debate.

If the nominee is McCain, all the Dem (whichever one) has to do in a head-to-head debate is get McCain pissed-off about something - then sit back and watch him explode in front of millions of voters.

It's really kind of sad how low the GOP has stooped - running a candidate who is obviously mentally unstable, and praying that their voters will actually choose to have a loose cannon in charge of the country.

Good luck with that.

[live love laugh]

10. I've known that he had "issues" since he became Bush's water boy.

Sycophant extraordinaire he is...but then aren't most of them? Gone-zales comes to mind here for some odd reason....

[saltpoint]

12. Agree. Politics aside, the man looks as if he is not well, sounds as if he is

not well.

[hisownpetard]

29. He. Speaks. Very. Very. Slowly.

His mentation is slow as molasses, and his voice has been reduced to a monotone
with very little inflection, which indicates extreme fatigue.

Seems to have aged about 5 years in the last 12 months.

[saltpoint]

30. Yes. Flat affect and all that.

If Republicans thought Bob Dole was dull . . .

[samdogmom]

13. Considering the same can be said about dubya, SAVE US NOW!

If anyone in the country thinks electing dubya II is a good idea, I'm stunned! These personality lapses have to be highlighted--so the uninformed voters take note.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. "I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live." (McCain in 2000)

He's driven by a desire for payback.
There is a rage behind that smug grin.

[gateley]

22. Gasp! I'm serious -- I gasped when I just read this. That's all anybody needs to know. nt

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. Agreed. It's a gasper. Just in case anybody doubts it ....

But he apologized!

[Hekate]

36. People who have been imprisoned & tortured for 7 years usually do hate their captors

McCain earned the right to feel that way, imo. Not many people can rise to the spiritual level of the Dalai Lama or Mother Teresa.

Whether he is suitable to be president is another issue entirely. I don't think he is.

[Virginia Dare]

48. Why characterize them with a racial slur though?

25 years after the fact, as a sitting U.S. Senator. He didn't earn the right to be a racist.

[gateley]

18. B-O-R-I-N-G.

[UTUSN]

19. His fellow Rethugs say HE'S NUTS!1 n/t

[Island Blue]

21. Yes there is.

[Swamp Rat]

23. He's a Maverick! ... RRRrrrrrRRRrrrrrRRRrrrrrr VROOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

[Oilwellian]

26. ROFL Swampmeister

That one made me bust out laughing. :D :hi:

[Swamp Rat]

28. Way'at George Oilwellian!

Nice to see you here! :hi: :hug:

[tabasco]

37. Holy crap, that's a real Maverick!

I had one of those. Then I upgraded to a Chevy Vega.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

24. He is an extremely angry person

When he's angry, he smiles, or says "My friend" or something of that nature. It completely changes his appearance when you watch him with that in mind.

[lutefisk]

33. I hope interviewers push his buttons to test him

Voters need to see this guy under stress. I agree - he's not a stable, balanced person.

Of course if he gets far enough in the lead, his handlers can just shut off access to him.

[Kip Humphrey]

27. Hey, what's the problem? The Republicans are going to nominate another brain-damaged, emotionally

unstable, stubborn, authoritarian egotist. What do you expect?

[seriousstan]

31. seems to have learned nothing, from his years in captivity as a POW

And your frame of reference as what he should have learned is what?

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

34. Is he Zell Miller crazy?

[Virginia Dare]

45. Potentially...n/t

[casus belli]

35. There's something I can't quite figure out...

I watched his Florida speech, and it appeared as if he was staring out into the crowd and reading from a teleprompter. Is that even possible? I have seen some people who just sort of get a blank stare when reciting something memorized, as if it takes all of their concentration to recollect the lines leaving no room for natural body language. :shrug: I dunno. Whatever the case, the creep factor is definitely high with this guy; he sets off all kinds of internal alarms.

[murbley40]

40. In the debate last night.......

during one of the exchanges between him and Romney,before he responded to Romney , looking right at him he went heh heh with a little sneer. Did anyone else see that. I told my husband, " he is not packed tight"

[Javaman]

41. Everytime I see mclame, I think he's going to explode...

5. Everytime I see mclame, I think he's going to explode...

or is that just me?

I mean the guy looks like he has the shortest fuse ever.

A recent exchange between mclame and some fellow senators...

Senator #1: so john, you play a mean game of golf I hear?

mclame: oh yeah, just who the fuck told you that??!!!!

Senator #2: whoa, whoa, john back off, we were just talking golf here...

mclame: whoa? whoa? who the fuck are you? Fucking goddamn, john fucking wayne?

Senator #3: John, what's wrong with you? are you alrii....

mclame: fuck you, you dumb fuck. are you trying to tell me I have a fucking problem? I tell you this you little turd, you will have the problem, that's right, I will make your life fucking miserable!!

Senator #4: Look, we are just asking you about golf, okay?

mclame: no, it's not okay, you guys love to attack me and this is a set up, you all are after me. fuck you!

Senator #5: Ssshhh, here comes the prez...

moron*: what goes on here? Hey john!

mclame bear hugs moron* and sticks his tongue out at the other Senators.

moron*: Ummm, john, you can let go now...

John continues to hold on.

moron*: can someone scrape this guy off of me?

The other Senators try to pull mclame off the prez*. mclame holds on like grim death. Several other Senators pile on to dislocate mclame from moron*.

moron*: get this idiot off of me!!!

Like the sound a popping cork, mclame breaks free. the prez* straightens his tie, the other Senators smooth down their rumpled cloths. Everyone catches their breath in the awkward moment.

Silence falls upon the group. Each eying the other nervously. Finally the prez* breaks the silence...

moron*: John McLame! your next president!!
