mc cain, although he experienced torture, supports the torturer in chief.
This alone qualifies him as too crazy to be the president. mc cain will tell you that he doesn't like the idea of the Geneva Convention being flushed down the toilet, and he's said publicly that he doesn't think prisoners of war should be tortured, YET, he is FOR the war, FOR bush the torturer, and any honor he may have garnered from having been a prisoner of war is gone forever.

mc cain is insane.

1. Stockholm Syndrome.
He identifies with the abusers and torturers.

2. Agree. Independents drawn to McCain in 2000 very likely will be scrutinizing
him a lot closer these days.

A lot has happened since "maverick" McCain whipped Dubya in New Hampshire.

We're told that "economics" will be the chief issue, but it's not an issue that's separate from the cost of Bush's Iraq war. We spend kazillions an hour occupying Iraq and send our own citizens checks for less than a monthly mortgage payment.

McCain will walk into that particular hail of flaming arrows if he's the nominee.

3. amazing, isn't it?
I can't believe that someone who went through what he did would actively wish it on others.

Very sad.

4. Maybe some part of him enjoyed it
Or how do you know he was not trained to be a torturer way way back? There have been torturers in the army, just not as obvious as now.
