Somebody showed McQueeg the Queen of Diamonds and whispered Islamofascism.

Defending his bill to give amnesty to illegal aliens, McCain unleashed a tirade on Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who had voiced concerns about the number of judicial appeals illegal immigrants could file under the proposed legislation.

“F*** you!” McCain said to his fellow senator. “I know more about this than anybody else in the room!” McCain shouted.


McCain is a liar!

He lacks the temperament for being President.

I can’t imagine why anyone would vote for this LIBERAL. He lacks self control. He is LEFT on the issues and he’s just too old. His track record is atrocious.

In endorsing Romney, Republican Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, who has known McCain for more than three decades, said his choice was prompted partly by his fear of how McCain might behave in the Oval Office.

“The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine,” Cochran said about McCain. “He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper, and he worries me.”

“He [McCain] would disagree about something and then explode,” said former Sen. Bob Smith, a fellow Republican who served with McCain on various committees. “[There were] incidents of irrational behavior. We’ve all had incidents where we have gotten angry, but I’ve never seen anyone act like that.”


Yes, like a LIBERAL his emotions get the better of him leading to bad policy. He has a track record of BAD policy and lying about Mitt.

McCain’s Hispanic outreach director is a former Mexican official (!) with dual citizenship (!). He’s an advocate of open borders and non-assimilation:

McCain is the enemy. Period.

Hillary would be more evil and more anti-American, but McCain would be more insane... and more out to slit the throats of conservatives.

>If we elect the unstable McCain, the Panderer Huckabee, the flip flopper Romney or the liberal Rudy we are screwed.<

One of these men, or Obama or Hillary, will eventually become CIC. Which candidate from among these six will be the best leader in our nation's life-and-death struggle against Islamo-Fascism?

The bottom line:

"None of the above" is simply not an option. Anybody who cops out will thereby forfeit his right to be taken seriously.

"John McCain’s false charge that Mitt Romney favored a set timetable for withdrawing from Iraq underscores how disastrous a McCain presidency would be." ..... Ronald Kessler

*********

ABC'S ROBIN ROBERTS: "Do you believe that there should be a timetable in withdrawing the troops?"

ROMNEY: "Well, there's no question that the president and Prime Minister al-Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about. But those shouldn't be for public pronouncement. You don't want the enemy to understand how long they have to wait in the weeds until you're going to be gone.

*********

"how long they have to wait in the weeds until you're going to be gone."

"......until you're going to be gone."

"......be gone."

"...... gone."

As in ".... the hell outta there"

Can you please explain to us, Mr. Kessler, the diffrence in the English language between :

"how long they have to wait in the weeds until you're going to be gone."

and

"how long they have to wait until our withdrawal."

Unstable, no.

So you know him better than the sources quoted above? -- most of whom say he is "unstable."

Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:

Never forget McCain not only pushed the amnesty bill, he refused to allow exclusions for the worst of the lot. And he unloaded his infamous temper on his mild-mannered senate colleague for having the audacity to introduce this amendment.

Apologies to any who feel I am spamming this message on campaign threads, but it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out.

Wait, the article said that Romney supported a timetable, and Romney said that the US and Iraqi governments should set a timetable and not tell anyone else about it. So, he did say there should be a timetable. If McCain’s plan is to stay as long as necessary, the Romney’s plan can be contrasted with his by saying that Romney supports a timetable for withdrawl.

That’s really different from saying that your kid was jogging six blocks from the WTC when it got hit, when your kid wasn’t there. But the article seems to say that McCain’s charaterizing his opponents statement in a way most beneficial to McCain is the same as making up a story from whole cloth. It just isn’t.

As to whether McCain has a short fuse, or is clinicaly insane, I can’t say. I don’t know the guy. (I doubt it, because he’s gotten posting in the Senate that I think they’s have kept him away from.) But this article starts with a faulty premise, and then uses that to somehow call into question his temperment or sanity.

The stress of the campaign is getting to him. He flubbed a response to voters in FL yesterday. It was a clip telling his audience that Romney was a flip-flopper and part of this response was posted all over the MSM yesterday. What the MSM neglected to show was McCain’s complete response (FOX News did today) and it shows him stumbling and bumbling, searching for his words. It made him look completely out to lunch.

Just a little more pressure, and thar’ she blows!

I have noticed the same thing about McCain.

He is laughing a forced laugh and seems to be thinking of things like that McCain/Shriver incident (March of 2000) and how it looked to America.

If elected POTUS they will undoubtably need a rubber, sound proof room with no phones (right next to the Oval Office) he can be put in until he gets his meds.

Ronald Kessler gets the prize but FReepers beat him to that analysis long ago.
