Is McCain's Short Fuse Cause For Concern?

All politicians scare me. I feel lucky to have survived so many LOL

If McCain's temper stood in the way of progress he wouldn't have made it in politics for so long. That incident was 16 years ago if it really happened. 16 years is a long time and something would have come up by now. That guy is just trying to sell his book which is probably based on lies.

Personally I've only heard of this one particular incident from this one person but there have been many other incidents including on the Senate floor. About Ann Coulter...I think you know I wouldn't believe a single solitary word that b1tch ever said...lol. BTW, my personal opinion of her really has nothing to do with her politics but with the fact she is the biggest waste of human flesh ever born, or created or hatched or whatever she came from. Annie

I do understand your point but this author says there were other witnesses and I haven't heard any denials. "It has as much credibility as that lame story about McCain pulling a diplomat out of a chair by his throat." What is so lame about that? There have been many comments made by other Senators from both parties about McCain's temper but they're too loyal and "nice" to say too much because they are a close-knit group in the Senate regardless of party. I say "Where there's smoke there's fire" especially when there's this much "smoke". I just don't think it's worth taking the chance. Annie

Odd, I'd truly thought an Ann Coulter quote would be given great credibility if provided. I hope you understand my point though. The guy is trying to sell a book and like so many other books, it's going to be filled with lies. The people who buy the books are the ones who want to believe lies held in books written by people like Al Frankin, and Ann Coulter. The guy obviously has no supporting documentation and provides no witnesses to the supposed event. It has as much credibility as that lame story about McCain pulling a diplomat out of a chair by his throat.

Excellent point! Thanks for the reminder. Annie

"Do you also hate your grandpa just because he's old? Make a valid point or get off his back." Now that's mature...lol! Who said anything about "hating" anyone, especially because he's old? However, "hating" someone and not thinking they're any longer capable of the handling the difficult job of being the POTUS are two very different things. Annie

Do you also hate your grandpa just because he's old? Make a valid point or get off his back.

Bravo! He's also not for equal pay for women and we all know how he feels about a woman's right to choose. Anyone that would or could call his own wife that word has no respect for women or for himself. I'm no angel and I've been known to use the F-Bomb on occasion myself but there are some things that are just plain and simply beyond offensive. All I know is I don't want that man to have his finger on the red nuke button or to have access to direct contact with leaders of other nations who may want to aim one at us. Annie

You two are both just buying into propoganda without researching the facts. There is no evidence whatsoever that McCain ever called his wife the C word. There is only one person making that claim and it's just some jerk trying to sell a book. Annie, you should no better about him being for equal pay for women. Go ahead and check the stats on how much Obama is paying his female staff members compared to the male staff. Then check the payrates for men and women on McCain's staff. Then you'll see who is just pretending to be for equal pay for women.

Taskr, I really don't understand why you think that I am buying into anything. I simply stated that being from a city where our mayor, and by the way the idiot is a democrat, is a hot head and has caused a lot of issues for the city. This mayor is the idiot that said we should move all the deaf people out by the airport because they are not able to hear the airport noise. He punch a citizen of the city that he got into an argument with and the man sued the city. He got into a verbal argument with an older gentlemen and caused the man to have a heart attack, yet another law suit for the city. These reasons that I have stated here are why "hot heads" should not hold public office. As for the C-word I was unable to find a site that said that he didn't say the word but I did see where he refused to answer the question. So that leaves it open ended and one must draw their own conclusion. Republicans have always been against a woman's right to choose so to me that is being against women's right. A man has the right to choose whether he is a father or not. And actually Obama is the only person in government that I have heard say that men need to step up to the plate and stop being absent fathers. I am young and I am a democrat because I believe that the government should take care of the citizens of this nation. Republicans believe that we should leave this up to churches and whatnot, but they have no problem going into other countries to "better the people" so they can have democracy and fair living conditions. But, it's ok with them that there are citizens in this country to go to bed hungry, elderly and children to not get proper medical care, and for people to be denied the the basic rights given to them by the Amendments of the Constitution. So with these reasons, this is why I have a problem with Republicans being in office.

That's my opinion exactly. We need someone who is cool under pressure. Annie

You're right, people don't usually change and I'd say if someone acted like a "grumpy old man" before he was old he'd likely only get worse as time goes by. Annie

I agree
