Not exactly the right image to give when he's not even in the White House yet. How will he react to a real crisis? I shiver the thought. I've seen him get angry AND rude one two many times.

Seriously, my friends, with all due respect my friends... can't we maybe try someone other than an Old White Guy for president? Good grief, my friends.

One thing that you should really be angry about is this so-called Iraq war that you want to drag out for 100 years. Are you getting senile now? You apparently are not seeing reality very well. Democrats need to be running the White House. We do not need any more of the Bush Administration!!! If you can't see what is really happening here and abroad, you don't belong campaigning for President. Time for you to go and get much-needed bed rest. You look like you need it. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Senator McCain, you are getting to old for this campaign.

McCain, as we all know, was a POW for years. POW status is a presumptive "trigger" for PTSD. One very common symptom of PTSD is uncontrollable anger.

The truthfull answers to these questions are both relevant and necessary to deciding who to vote for in November.

I would rather have a leader who has shown his courage, knows the terror of war and is fiscally responsible as our President. Obama or Hillary will only raise our taxes and shove national healthcare down our throats. McCain is going to be our next Pres. because the real Americans can see thru the democratic junk.

Billions every week, credibility in the world lost and he wants to keep it going. I just don't understand this...and this doesn't even touch on the fact that he could be too old. He scares me...

That it is ok to get angry at other world leaders, his aids, the press etc. please somebody rouse him from sleep and tell him that it is wrong, wrong, wrong for the president to tout his anger bouts. it may be the difference betweeen war and peace; pushing the dreaded nuclear button or scaring away aids from giving sound advice. He needs to get a grip or get out.

Don't China own us. And can't we change that? How can taxpayer paid cronie trips be taken for granted, when our country is going bankrupt? Do we owe China so much that they control us? Talk about corruption. This all happened under your eyes, Mr. McCain. In order to have changed the policies, you would have had to take a stand against your own party and go on national t.v. to make the voters aware and you did not.

I cant wait for Obama to start talking cirlces around this puppet as the debate turns to war and the economy. I used to like McCain before he had to suck up to the failed policies of the GOP and the worst administration of all time. This guy swears in the House of Congress. His policies are based in fear and are old, just like him, old. OUT WITH THE OLD Independent for Obama Temper a minor thing, not with this guy.

He has a reputation as angry stubborn old man. I expect to see some 527 groups running ads showing McCain mulling over becoming a VP on a democratic ticket. Although, some conservative Democratics and Independents, will look favorably at that. Conservative Republicans will seriously doubt McCain committment to the conservative agenda and choose to stay home in November unless he picks a conservative Republican running mate, by which he will lose conservative Democrats and Independents.

Another executive who wants to restrict free speech (McBush said he thinks MoveOn should be "thrown out of the country" for criticizing Petraeus) How is that "an even temper?" How will his attitude towards critics of foreign policy help him "reach across the aisle?" As for McCain's reformer act, I don't buy it for a second. He only started talking about campaign finance reform after getting caught in a campaign finance scandal in the eighties. Just what we need.
