John McCain's Temperament is a National Security Issue

Posted  by AzBlueMeanie:

Robert Greenwald's Brave New PAC has a new video up about John McCain's volcanic temper and abusive personality. The video features commentary from our own former Senator Dennis DeConcinni about Senator Hothead.

Robert Greenwald has also posted commentary at John McCain's Rage Is a National Security Issue:

"At last night's debate, John McCain said we need "a cool hand at the tiller," but McCain has proven to be a loose cannon. He has accosted his Congressional colleagues on both sides of the aisle on everything from the federal budget to diplomatic relations. He is known for hurling profanities rather than settling disagreements calmly. His belligerence is legendary. Even conservative Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi has said, "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

When someone earns the nickname "Senator Hothead," the public ought to call his character into question. McCain's propensity to explode undermines his abilities as a rational decision maker, particularly on national security issues -- which could prove disastrous considering our country is already involved in two wars.

McCain's temper is critical to his decision-making abilities, and his character must be discussed. As Drew Westen writes, "The political brain is an emotional brain. It is not a dispassionate calculating machine, objectively searching for the right facts, figures and policies to make a reasoned decision." That why it's so crucial people know the real Senator Hothead."

Huffington Post has an article which quotes two Arizonans who have had direct experience with McCain's short fuse. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marlene-h-phillips/arizonans-reflect-on-time_b_132745.html

The third and last U.S. Presidential Debate took place in Hempstead, New York on October 14, 2008. Senator Barack Obama of Illinois took off running with an eight-point lead, according to an average of national polls as collected by CNN. Sen. John McCain of Arizona took advantage of Obama’s unruffled carriage and laid the younger candidate’s policies, judgment and qualities of character out on the table. McCain quickly pointed out that he was “not President Bush” as soon as Obama responded with a more critical stance regarding the economic policies of the past eight years. McCain stated that he would enact an “across the board spending freeze,” chop off some programs and get rid of the remaining once the dust settled. On the other hand, Obama presented a more conservative stance about the issue. He would “go through the federal budget page by page, line by line” in order to close programs that aren’t working as they should be. Both candidates declare to bring a resolution to America and its decreasing economy. However, will it leave consumers with the ability to choose where or when to have access to PAYDAY LOANS? That remains unclear. Just because it is said that Americans are living in “the land of the free” doesn’t mean that interest groups (i.e. banks and credit unions) are of the same mind to have the freedom to choose.
