I have another theory about McCain's anger.....

He was tortured by the North Vietnamese after he was shot down over their territory,
during the Vietnam War. He made the choice to (I would have done the same thing myself)
denounce the U.S. in a prepared radio address. He comes from a distinguished line of
military lineage and probably has considered himself a coward ever since.
Media hardly talks about this, however it must have really fucked him out.
Also he was accused of being a real hot dog with a huge ego and his father was Commander
of the Pacific Fleet during the same war.. He also has been horrible with regards to concerns
of family and relatives over M.I As . Just horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!.

but I'm not going to give him a pass.

Saying that Rice is not very bright is such old school bigotry. Fuck him.

When I found out how he basically gutted legislation that would have gone after any government agency that had information about POW/MIA, but refused to share that information.

And the way he treated the families of POW/MIA during the process.

No one actually saw him being tortured...the injury to his arm occured when he ejected over Vietnam. Though he was probably beaten by the villagers who captured him, which only made his injuries worse.

After probably killing and injuring a lot of civilians, doing mass damage, I'm sure he was
treated horribly. It's what happens when you bomb people!

to have anything to impeach President Obama and I believe they are putting McCain out there for a couple of reasons.........his history of being a POW; he is basically done for any other political office so it won't really hurt him; and they know how angry he is about losing in 2008. He is a willing participant. I'm tellin you, they want President Obama out no matter what way they have to do it.

He was entitled to be President.

Bush stole it from him initially. Then Obama stole it for good.

And McCain is furious.

McCain thought he was entitled to the presidency, and then he was defeated by a charismatic young black man - such a thing must have been just unthinkable to him. Maybe he and Romney can start a support group.
