    In the words of Young Jeezy . . . .

    McCain's "a fraud."

    The idea that being a prisoner of war makes McCain qualified to be president is ridiculous. In fact, I think McCain's imprisonment severely damaged him psychologically. I'd suggest that his well-documented anger management issues are a direct result of his long-term confinement. Can the US (and the world) really afford to have another psychologically ill person run the country?--eight years of GWBush and his mentally imbalanced approach to governing have been a disaster. I predict that McCain will self-implode at some point during the campaign: his awkward, strained, false-toothed smile simply can't hide the frightening mania that floats just beneath the surface of the wanna-be leader.
