Interestingly enough, the man who probably exercised more summary power than any other in the history of the country, Ulysses Grant, had virtually no temper to speak of. No one ever reported having heard Grant swear and Grant himself could never recall having done so.

This isn’t a gd popularity contest or a thank-you-for-your service present.

It’s not about having a temper - it’s about temperament.

McCain- doesn’t have what it takes.

And don’t tell me what he did 40 years ago- I’m sick of him and his supporters throwing that in our face. GUESS WHAT- he’s not the only GI to have suffered in service to his country.

McCain doesn’t fit in that list - none of them ever quited Chairman Mao.

McCain - The Manchurian Candidate. Mr. Stockholm Syndrome.
