The Real McCain, a comprehensive look at the Senator's whole life -- Extremely eye opening and makes me even more FEARFUL of him in office.
Rolling Stone has a great article outlining McCain in all of his not-so-great glory. I am afraid of this man having the power of the presidency and I hope that people take a deeper look into his deep past when deciding who to vote for, and not just the recent past. Though the article is a bit lengthy, it's very informative and gives great insight into the character of McCain. Please check it out and send on to all those undecideds that need a little more reason to vote against him.

The truth that needs to be told is that McCain was a traitor. His story about being tortured and breaking and giving misleading information is just a clever cover to the reality. McCain, the privileged brat of a line of admirals was not about to be mistreated when he got shot down. He admits in his book that he told them he'd give them military information if they treated his injuries, but claims the information was false. Actually, he gave targeting information which revealed that the US in their Rolling Thunder operation were targeting hospitals, temples and schools, you know, civilian targets, which would have been an incredible stain on the image of America had it been known. As our pilots quickly began being hit due to the accuracy of the information, our side had to scramble to change the targets, realizing that someone was "squealing." Go to The National Institute online and read Sydney Schanberg's article entitled "McCain and the POW Coverup," and ask yourself why in God's name McCain was so anxious to seal the records in Vietnam.

The article lays out the man's severe and longstanding Personality Disorder. Such disorders never begin in adulthood. He's 72. Don't expect him to change... unless he gets worse.

What would be your best guess as a therapist as to why he had such huge anger issues as a child? I have an older sister who has been diagnosed as borderline personality disorder and I remember my mom said that when she was little she would hold her breath when she was angry until she passed out. Wonder what would make a small child have that much rage?

Well, you know, I'd be reluctant to speculate. All we can say is that for whatever reason, he never really learned to respect authority - and felt he could get away with being a scamp. And just kept pushing the boundaries. As far as anger, again I can't really speculate. Every person is different. We've got a track record here. We can see it's carried through his whole life. And bottom line - he is unfit for duty. Period.

Awesome, liam.
I'm going to send that link all over the place.

Exactly right, Liam. A good way to do this would be to write letters to the editor in your local newspaper, directing the reader to the Rolling Stone cover story, and letting them know it could be found online in its entirety if they didn't want to buy the magazine. Everybody needs to know about this, not just us dedicated politics junkies.

John McCain is the most deeply disturbed and disturbing individual who has run for this office in my lifetime.
Yes he's far far worse than Nixon. He's more emotionally crippled than George Bush and he's managed to scare me worse than Bush/Cheney together!
He's very sick man and he is totally unfit to lead. He's the most reckless, irresponsible, furious and cowardly son of a bitch I've ever read about.
He terrifies me. He means it that he wants to be dictator - he doesn't give one flying fuck for this country or anything or anyone else but John fucking McLame.
He is dangerous!

Agreed. President Blutarsky looks Jeffersonian by comparison.

The Rolling Stone article is long but excellent and should be read by every voting American. My fear is that it is only going to be read by the choir. Send the link to all your red friends. Both McCain and Palin should be disqualified as presidential candidates. It's not safe to let them anywhere near the White House.

Scary stuff. I'd already worked out in my mind that he's an abusive bully, but this is much, much worse. I'd wondered what kind of man would run the most revolting and repulsive campaign I've seen in my lifetime, and here's the answer.
I suppose I should thank them, though, for making this election a no-brainer. The guy with the honor, integrity and ideas or McCain? Won't lose any sleep pondering that one.
