| John McCain's Rage is a National Security Concern |
 |
http://bravenewpac.org/rage
During last night's debate, John McCain said
we need "a cool hand at the tiller," but
McCain has proven to be a loose cannon. He
has accosted his Congressional colleagues on
both sides of the aisle on everything from
the federal budget to diplomatic relations.
He is known for hurling profanities rather
than settling disagreements calmly. His
belligerence is legendary. Even conservative
Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi has said,
"He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his
temper and he worries me."
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.
McCain's temper is critical to his
decision-making abilities, and his character
must be discussed. As Drew Westen writes,
"The political brain is an emotional brain.
It is not a dispassionate calculating
machine, objectively searching for the right
facts, figures and policies to make a
reasoned decision." That why it's so crucial
people know the real Senator Hothead.
