John McCain is an angry man
Please, circulate this information. It is well documented that McCain has a love of high-stakes gambling, particularly craps. His horrible temper is also well-documented. We’ve witnessed his knee-jerk reactions and his erratic decisions this past month plus. (Sarah Palin, “campaign suspension, etc) Remember the earlier posting where McCain refers to us as “fellow prisoners”. This all adds up to a man who is not well. I am very empathetic to his POW status. I understand that he endured hell for 5 1/2 years. He has every right to be unstable. I just feel like that instability is something very volatile to this country at this time. We need a steady, cool, democratic, respectful character in office right now if we are going to strengthen our allies and our place of respect in this world. Now here are a few videos. Please, watch. Also, if you haven’t read it (I posted it earlier) read this: Make Believe Maverick and also this: Why I will not vote for John McCain. The latter article is written by Doctor Phillip Butler who lived across the hall from McCain at the U.S. Naval Academy.
McCain, the backstory
This is a long article, but worth every second you will spend reading it. My respect for John McCain took a hit while reading this.
At Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation’s capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It’s the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed him from a callow and reckless youth into a serious man of patriotism and purpose. Walking along the grounds at Fort McNair, McCain runs into John Dramesi, an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was also imprisoned and tortured in Vietnam.
