THE MCCAIN WAY ATTACK REPUBLICANS A Top 10 List…

Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And “Screamed, ‘F*ck You!’ At Texas Sen. John Cornyn” (R-TX). “Presidential hopeful John McCain - who has been dogged for years by questions about his volcanic temper - erupted in an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a fellow Republican senator, sources told The Post yesterday. In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, ‘F— you!’ at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation. ‘This is chickens—stuff,’ McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. ‘You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’” (Charles Hurt, “Raising McCain,” New York Post, 5/19/07)

I am reading a biography of Winston Churchill, in which he unequivocally states that the supreme qualification of a leader is temperament, not intellect.

John McCain does not have the temperament to be President of the Uniteed States. He is hot-headed, dogmatic, nasty, volatile, and narcissistic.

IMO McCain is dangerous and unbalanced.
If this man ever becomes president I believe millions will end up dead as a result.

Mitt could bring out the McQueeg name for....McQueeg but too many people wouldn’t know the Bogart movie reference.

Good point. The more I hear and read about McCain ythe more depressed I get thinking that he may be the nominee. ]

Go Mitt, Go!

Yeah, but McCain serves with these guys. He’s getting the support of Leiberman and Lindsey Graham. He can keep those endorsements.

“Crazy man with his finger on the button - you can be sure this very same campaign has been planned for a long time in the bowels of Democratville... probably since the straight-jacket express first rolled out in Y2K.”

Oh, so true. That’s why all the polls showing McCain beating the Witch or Obama are irrelevant and wrong. None of them accounts for the disaster that awaits McCain and the Republican party the day after he’s nominated, if he’s nominated. Then the MSM and the DemonRats will publish a host of stories, mostly true, that show he’s mentally unfit to be president. The DemonRat candidate, be it Obama or the Witch, will waltz unopposed into the White House.

It's not just you who is scared of John McCain being President of the United States. I can see him starting WWIII because he's having one of his hissy fits.

I'll give him credit for the surge and it's success but since 2000 he's done everything in his power to make Bush look bad and himself to look good.

Actions have consequences "my friend" as Sen. McCain says.

Good line. Explains GWB's successes in the face of withering criticism.

U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss) had this to say about McCain:

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

Source:

Believe me FRiends, there is nobody in the U.S. Congress who is more honorable and more respected by those who know him than is Sen. Cochran. I say this from the bottom of my heart, as someone who has been acquainted with Cochran for almost 50 years. And when he says what he did about McCain, all the world should take serious note.

Nothing could be farther from reality. In terms of the most important qualification for a President -- temperament -- McCain falls far below the others. He's clearly the least suited to be CIC.
