Do voters have a right to know about McCain's explosive temper?
Or is it something they should find out about after the election?

In other words, are concerns about a candidate's temper and impulsive actions a valid issue when deciding on a commander-in-chief.

1. There's an ad coming out about it from Dem for America...
...excerpts from an interview with a fellow POW.

2. Yes. I wish we had footage of some of the times he's screamed at people
on the Senate floor, or flown off the handle elsewhere, then let the 527s flood the airwaves with it.

But, not to worry, it's gonna be Obama in the Oval Office - not McCain. (Country breathes a sigh of relief.)

We need a new "Daisy" ad!

5. What is the background on that McCain picture?
It seems like it's been around for a long time, but if the origin was posted I've forgotten it. What in the world is he raging about?

9. Yes, literally.
I cannot imagine this man actually trying to lead the country. That is a very real nightmare.

4. In this country, there are no rights anymore
There is only what you can do. Voters should know. That doesn't mean they will. The MSM sees this as off limits, and apparently so do the Democrats.

7. Of course voters have a right to know.
His temper and how he flies off the handle is a good indication of how he handles things.

I would like to know that our CIC is a calm and rational person that can handle things in a crisis -- not some "maverick" who gets all flustered and starts throwing temper tantrums.

10. Yes. It's not just a right, it's necessary.
I fear for a diplomatic crisis, and a President McCain, with his volitile temper, at the midst of it.

We need a calm, collected President these days. Guess which one of the candidates fits the bill.
