Anger as a Disqualifier for Public Office



John McCain has disqualified himself with the public by letting his anger show so much on the campaign trail. That's not the kind of person we want running the country, no matter how angry we ourselves may be. The result is a collapsing profile in the electoral college.



Unfortunately, his anger is not limited to the campaign trail. Listen to the testimony of some of his fellow senators:
  • McCain's "temper would place this country at risk in international affairs and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him." —Bob Smith, former Republican senator from New Hampshire
  • I don't "want this guy anywhere near a trigger." —Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico
  • "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded."
 —Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi
That's not to say he won't be elected. Racism runs deep in our society and may still put him office, but it will be because he's seen as the lesser of two evils....

...but still a dangerous one!
