 |
|
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 the 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.

Get real. We've had plenty of "hothead" presidents (Truman, T.
Roosevelt, LBJ, Nixon, and Shrub II come immediately to mind), and
none of them have ever sent us into national or international
disasters (think complete annihilating disasters, not wars we don't
happen to agree with) because of their tempers. It just doesn't
happen.
And why do you care? You're not even an American. |
