McCain's History of Blow Ups: 10 More Examples

eyesonobama.com — "Do I feel passionately about issues?" John McCain has said. "Absolutely. Do I get angry when I see pork barreling and wasteful spending? Absolutely." But his care for the most important topics of the day notwithstanding, McCain has had more than a few volatile run-ins with colleagues, staffers, and officials. Back by popular demand, 10 more.

  • alapoet, on 06/11/2008, -11/+47What a volatile and explosive man.

    Do we really need as President a man who is sorely in need of anger management counseling?
  • CoolHandLuke70, on 06/11/2008, -13/+33McClone's reputation as a hothead is legendary! He is an insane doddering old warmonger!
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -3/+20I don't get it. If the blog sight is called "eyesonobama.com", why is it completely focused on McCain? Probably not too much to say about Obama.
  • ichbeineinrcg, on 06/12/2008, -1/+15Yes, because stating your opinion forcefully is far worse than calling your wife a *****.

    My lawd, but the anti-Obama crowd is desperate.
  • marabout40, on 06/11/2008, -11/+25Senator Harry Reid: McCain’s ‘Explosive’ Temper Means He Can’t Be President http://polijamblog.polijam.com/?p=1469
  • vagtka, on 06/12/2008, -9/+19There's a difference between being passionate and being a *****!
  • GregFD3S, on 06/12/2008, -5/+16John McClain:
    "Yippie Ki-Yay *****!"
  • SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/12/2008, -3/+12"don't we all have temper problems?"

    Actually, no, we don't.
  • kd1s, on 06/12/2008, -10/+17Wow, I'd heard about his temper but hadn't realized he thought himself such a class act. Adn people want him for president? Are they certifiably insane?
  • inigomntoya, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6You know - we almost had one in the moist robot that is Al Gore...
  • DeadPlasmaCell, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5Hell, Bush got elected twice, so anything is possible..
  • NewsObamaDotOrg, on 06/12/2008, -11/+17This is a must-read top ten list with examples of McCain's highly un-presidential behavior: (10) Rude to his own staff (9) Vindictive (8) Manipulative (7) Anti-Environment (6) "Vicious" (5) Boastful (4) Sexist (3) Unable to handle criticism (2) Vindictive (again) (1) Vindictive (yet, again).
  • MysticSavage, on 06/12/2008, -3/+7Could someone start a list of the 10 times he HASN'T lost it?
  • Shakermaker, on 06/12/2008, -0/+4Are you ***** kidding? You'd probably be surprised what happens out of the public eye and behind the scenes with a President. This isn't a big deal.
  • flink405, on 06/12/2008, -4/+7Gosh...a man gets upset about things.
    I bet this has never happened to anyone before.

    No President ever got angry, right?
    Oh well, just More Obama/Democrat silliness.
  • saranagati, on 06/12/2008, -1/+4He crashed 5 airplanes which were paid for by tax money?
  • sragland, on 06/12/2008, -9/+11I myself strongly dislike Mccain. However, why should we trust something coming from a pro-obama website....
  • jvittetoe, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3for being the son of an admiral. seriously, thats it.
  • Reaper2806, on 06/12/2008, -3/+6I'm sure this guy was a national hero, but that doesn't make him the right man for the job of President. Surely there's someone less prone to these outbursts?
  • vinod1978, on 06/12/2008, -1/+4@misfit410 - Yes, vote for a 3rd party candidate in this election and have absolutely no relevance in who ends up in the White House.

    How you are saying Obama is worse is beyond any human comprehension. I can understand how you can disagree with his tax or foreign policy, because you might not understand it - but worse how? Integrity? Nope. McCain pretty much is biggest flip flopper/panderer that I've seen in quite a while. I'd like to see you prove your statement, but I'm guessing you can't.
  • normalkid0615, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3anything positive coming from republicans today? last week? last year? last 4 years? last 8 years? last 100 years?

    and the beat goes on...
  • guillebravo6, on 06/12/2008, -1/+4He's an idiot, I'm voting for Obama
  • AgainstObama, on 06/12/2008, -11/+14Welcome to Digg...the Obama propaganda network.
  • Deanblackoak, on 06/12/2008, -0/+3This man is a walking time bomb and the worst thing that could happen (besides Bush) to the office of the president. He must be stopped.
  • wingrider101, on 06/12/2008, -10/+13Senator McCain has EARNED his right to be angry. He has served well and faithfully. He was an outstanding sailor/aviator, and brought great honor to his country with his devoted service during his imprisonment in the Vietnam war. A president must have coolness under fire, which the Senator has in spades. So what if he blows up every now and then at a few underlings and peers. Did you ever lose your temper? We all have. Get over it. He's my choice over Mr. Obama ANY DAY.
  • johnnyboy239, on 06/12/2008, -1/+3Even if he did "earn the right to be angry" him being angry and a dick as a person is one thing, but him being angry and a dick as president is just a bad idea.

    If Kennedy had the same anger issues that mccain does we may never have gotten past the cuban missile crisis.
  • Vigrant, on 06/12/2008, -3/+5no we dont need him
  • sysop073, on 06/13/2008, -0/+2They're already certified, we call them Republicans
  • hifidelity1, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2The election was stolen, if you want to look into it.
  • NelsonR, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2I only got to number #6 and had enough. It's called personal reinforcement about a man who should NEVER be our leader. How about anger management or McCain facing one truism, he is an arrogant egotistical little man.
  • vinod1978, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2YES! Vote for McCain and lead all our husbands, brothers, sons, wives, and daughters down the path to righteousness by sacrificing their lives in Iraq, Iran, and hey I'm sure he'll thrown in a couple of other countries we can invade later on. C'mon - He's a republican - I'm sure he'll cook something up.

    If you read this: http://bigredmat.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-women-wo ...
    and you are still want to vote for McCain - then you deserve him.
  • democrats, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2Get a life - he earned a right to call a woman a c**t? Are you braindead?
  • galewgleason, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2That video looks like it belongs in the movie Idiocracy.
  • sonicomega, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2Well Dr. Paul isnt running so pick a side otherwise you really have nothing to say. Are you trying to get people to wake up and not vote for anyone? That sounds pretty anti-patriotic to me bud. Oh and you forgot yo label McCain... (angry old white man). Keep it consistent.
  • edwartica, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2No, seriously? What did he do to be called a national hero? Inquiring minds want to know!
  • shoopdawoop, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2My guess is that he will pick Hillary since she brings the most to the table. Edwards can't even carry his own state.
    Picking Hillary is a no-brainer. I wonder if Obama realizes that Operation Trojan Horse is GO. Connect the dots.
  • vinod1978, on 06/12/2008, -2/+4While I would agree with you in one aspect that it shouldn't matter that McCain has outbursts, it is bad for him politically. Americans don't want anyone in the oval office that has a tendency to scream out of frustration, because they are unsure what his decision will be when it gets REALLY hard (he might slam his fast down on the red button).

    But whether or not McCain has temper tantrums really is not the issue here. We can not elect a president that wants to stay in Iraq for a minimum of 4 years and a maximum time of - forever. He agrees with President Bush's idea of having a PERMANENT base in Iraq, which is why we wants to keep troops in Iraq until the agreement between the US and Iraq is completed. (For those of who you are not up to date - that is what Bush is "negotiating" right now. Read more about it here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-eas ...

    When it comes to the economy, and especially taxes - take a look at CNN's report of what their investigations found when it comes to your taxes:

    http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/11/news/economy/candi ...

    Almost 90% of Americans would actually pay less taxes then under McCain. Basically if you make under $112,000 (which 89% of Americans reported on their last years tax returns) you would SAVE money with Obama's tax plan - AND it would be much easier to file (which is a nice bonus).

    This whole idea of republicans saving your tax dollars is hogwash. It'll all go to some war - whether is Iraq, or Iran, or wherever they decide al Qaeda is stationed. So McCain is wrong when it comes to Iraq (foreign policy), and wrong when it comes to your taxes (the economy). How is McCain your choice?

    For a complete list of reasons why I think no woman can vote for McCain - you can read the full posting on my blog: http://bigredmat.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-women-wo ...
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2Absolutely. We need a president that may or may not have you killed for disagreeing with him. Diplomacy works smoothly then.

    "Only Nixon could go to China."
  • Sogui, on 06/12/2008, -1/+3Just because we're sick of Obama spam from the far left doesnt mean we want to see some ***** from the far right.

    There are people who just want to hear about the facts and positions without the ridiculous spin and bias pumped into each article.
  • vinod1978, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2It's easy to say you don't agree with any candidate - that is what cowards do after all. Obama wants to get us out of of Iraq, lower our taxes (read the CNN report on McCain vs. Obama's tax plan before you comment how I'm crazy), and get the money out of Washington (a process that he started with his own campaign, and has made the DNC do the same).

    I can understand that you might not like the U.S. Policy to support Israel because that is obviously one of the reasons why Islamic fundamentalists hate us, but it's because we invaded their holy land that they are are actively trying to kill us. Hating Americans is one thing, but it's another to plot and kill us. You mention that we are "Zionist puppets", but I couldn't agree with any other policy where the U.S. would not support a sovereign nation when multiple states want to "wipe them off the map". Could you?
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -1/+3If you still believe the dems over the reps or vice versa in regards to YOUR well being, man I feel sorry for you.

    Why is it that a man who is trying to remove a means of protection from law biding citizens hands has the privilege of secret service protection for himself and his family?

    Why is it that a man who votes against legislation to protect a newborn that survives late term abortion votes for laws that allow a criminal who has broken into your home the ability to sue you if he/she gets hurt during that act?

    Why is it that a man who wants to bring "change" to Washington settles into the same rhetoric and tactics such as mudslinging, internet "task forces", double talk between US citizens and other nations (Canada/NAFTA) as those who he's running against?

    Why is it that a man who receives world wide acclaim for writing a book inspired by his church and pastor of twenty years, suddenly throws his pastor under a bus and denounces his church?

    Why is it that a man preaching "change" has never voted across party lines?

    Why is it that a man who voted for the Patriot Act, the Patriot Act II, and the war in Iraq getting a pass on these items that happened "years" ago but his opponent is constantly getting slammed on digg with ***** huffingtonpost stories about incidents that also happened "years" ago?

    Why?
  • inactive, on 06/12/2008, -5/+7doesn't fox news have any forums, they might be more to your liking.
  • sevvo, on 06/12/2008, -1/+2McCain '08: "A thousand more years!"
  • sagien, on 06/13/2008, -0/+1This isn't a credit report where a bankruptcy goes away after seven years.

    You want to run for POTUS? Guess what? You _entire_ political and adult life is subject to scrutiny. No excuses.

    You'll need to present a stronger arguement than that for people to disregard this. And just because nothing has been reported in the past 8 years doesn't mean a problem does not exist.

    Also, because of his presidential aspirations, the MSM has paid more attention to McCain over the last eight years (he was an also-ran in 2000, remember?) So, don't you think he'd keep outbursts in check because of this?
  • inactive, on 06/13/2008, -0/+1he didn't save a single ***** one.
  • normalkid0615, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1funny as hello!
  • copypastry, on 06/12/2008, -2/+3I wonder, has anyone ever done a study on how being computer savvy tracks versus being liberal?

    I have a feeling that people who know how to operate at least one of the internets is more liberal that someone who doesn't know how to operate any of them.
