"They broke me."
John McCain just told us in his own words why he would be a dangerous choice for President.
"They broke me." In describing his terrible experience in Vietnam (for which he deserves our respect but not our vote), McCain admitted that his captors tortured him to the point of breaking his will. This comes with a mental price.
Here is a man who is well known to lose his temper. His outbreaks are documented in the public record. He used the word "fight" over 40 times in his acceptance speech. And while he may have glued himself back together nicely over the years, at one time he was beaten and tortured - by the communists - to the point that he completely lost control of his being.
Never mind his last-minute, irrational decision to put a frighteningly inexperienced, power-abusing, lobbyist-loving, science-hating junior governor and former beauty queen just a heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world. Never mind that he has flip-flopped on so many of his positions in recent years in running the conservative gauntlet to his candidacy. Or his 90% agreement rate with George Bush.
"They broke me." This is not the kind of leader we want negotiating with Russia and China. Unless you like your food (and your children) seriously irradiated, this man should be nowhere near the nuclear football.
