youtube.com — 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.

I'm still waiting for McCain to completely lose it in public. I saw him gritting his teeth a few times during the debate when Obama was speaking. He has a powder keg personality, and it's only a matter of time. Not someone you want anywhere near that Red button.

This video takes on very authentic meaning to me since watching McCain during his last two debates.

Given his devotion to Bush policies, simplistic rhetorical justification of war funding, and style of response when confronted with differing opinions, it seems clear that he would be a definite risk to national security and stability in a time when we are talking about a financial and political mess that we are realizing no one nation can extricate themselves from alone. We need someone to be an able listener and a skilled coordinator. Leaders don't simply bark out orders and rip and tear at anything in their perceived way. They have to inspire and coordinate a nation that is right now hardly a united voice. McCain and Palin both seem to be stirring dangerous sentiments of violence and disunion in the poorer, less educated segments. They are using the same kind of scare tactics that carried us into the falsely justified war we are entangled in. We listened twice to Bush. As Bush himself tried to say, but stumbled: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."We've been through two (count 'em) terms of government that operated like a loose cannon protecting the so-called interest of the people. With McCain professing in his own words how he aspires to be a dictator, I am clearly uneasy about his "Maverick" tendencies. I call "Fail" on that selling point! Furthermore, what will we say about being fooled a third time? A piece of apple pie and a folksy "you betcha" from Palin is probably not going to do it!

If he gets elected moving to Canada might not be far enough...And we're supposed to believe the flimsy virtually non-existent evidence that Obama is a friend of Bill Ayers and psssst... "that one" might just be a a terrorist himself...It seems to me that McCain is a terror, and can be terrifying, and there's PLENTY of evidence to prove that.I wrote more about McCain in my column on www.capitolhillblue.com Hal Brown

We need some video of this. The American people respond much better to video.

He is a dangerous choice. Palin is even worse.

McCain has frightened me in this way for a long time. He might have PTSD from his years as a POW, but no matter the cause, it is not the temperment needed in a president. (And I might add, that he seems to have chosen a running mate who has similar aggressive tendencies)--is this good for America? I sure don't think so--I am scared of them getting into office.
