"The thought of him being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

Look at how he's treated his fellow Republican Senators:
- Defending his Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain lost his temper and screamed, "Fuck you!" at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, (R-TX)
- Sen. McCain repeatedly called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) An “asshole”, causing a fellow GOP Senator to say, “I didn’t want this guy anywhere near a trigger.” McCain said to Domenici, "Only an asshole would put together a budget like this. ... I wouldn’t call you an asshole unless you really were an asshole."
- Sen. McCain had a heated exchange with Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and called him a “fucking jerk.” Sen. Chuck Grassley inquired, “Are you calling me stupid?" during a debate with McCain. According to a source who was present, "No, I’m calling you a fucking jerk," replied McCain.
But it seems McCain goes ballistic on anyone who disagrees with him. And he's not just verbally abusive, but physically threatening. He got in the grille of Sen. Richard Shelby — an inch away from the Alabama Republican's face — after Shelby voted against the 1989 nomination of John Tower as defense secretary. "I was madder than hell when I accosted him," McCain admits, half boasting.
"In his world, it's very difficult to have a simple policy disagreement," said American Conservative Union chairman David Keene. "Everything becomes personal. His position is right, and everyone else's is basically evil."
"I don’t think he has the temperament and leadership ability to move the country in the right direction.” said former Republican Senator Rick Santorum adding that a McCain nomination would be, “very, very dangerous for Republicans.”
If he treats Republicans this way, imagine how he’d treat others across the aisle who disagreed with him?
In case you didn't catch it, McCain today called lawyers "scum sucking bottom feeders," as a joke of course. His mother stood behind him and didn't even crack a smile at the "joke."

But, he did say, during his campaign appearance at Boston's Faneuil Hall that he would "reach across the aisle" to those democrats who were willing to work towards a compromise. Oh, another "compromiser", like the one currently in the WH? The interaction between Bush (who, absent his title and sycophants, is a zero) and the dems in congress reminds me of that between John Goodman and Steve Buscemi in "The Big Lebowski". In other words, STFU.
John McCain is just one big ol' bundle of simmering rage. The fact that he can be jovial or thoughtful doesn't change anything in that regard. I speak from experience. People who have never seen me, in "flip out" mode, have no idea about what I'm like when I go sideways. Once they've seen it, they don't want no more. Repressed rage is a very, very bad thing in a leader who has access to Nu-Q-Lar Weppins.

Heh.... :)
I hate John McCain, but if I was face to face with a scum bag like John Cornyn, I'd be tempted to punch his conservanoid lights out.
"Fuck you" is fairly restrained when dealing with vermin.
Pete Domenici is an asshole. And many, many things worse.
Chuck Grassley is a fucking jerk. Not to mention a fascist pig.
Richard Shelby? McCain should have kicked his ass. With a blunt object.
errr, Depends on the lawyer, but I can relate.
LOL
Your point is clear however. McCain is a reckless, haphazard kinda guy (not to mention thief, liar, warmonger, and professional suck-ass). Disaster has followed him around his entire life.
He is a tragedy in search of occurrence.
McCain is the kind of guy that would look at the "red button", open the cover, and say "wow, cool ashtray" and put his cigar out on it.
Unfortunately, he will probably be the next president of the united states. Sad, no?
Thanks mate... just dropped by. Will look for BIKE STN when we get to Seattle. Still in Buenos Airies.
