"His temper would place this country at risk in international affairs, and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, that should disqualify him." - Former Senator Bob Smith, R-NH
An "embarrassment to the party." - Arizona GOP State Senator Susan Johnson
"What happens if he gets angry in crisis in the presidency? It's difficult enough to be a negotiator, but it's almost impossible when you're the type of guy who's so angry at anybody who doesn't do what he wants. It's the president's job to negotiate and stay calm. I just don't see that he has that quality." - Former Arizona GOP Chairman John Hinz
"No dissent, no opinion to the contrary- however reasonable- will be entertained. Hardheaded is one way to say it. Arrogant is another way to say it. Hubristic is another way to say it. Too proud for his own good is another way to say it. It's a quality about him that disturbs me." - Col. Larry Wilkerson, US Army (ret.) and former chief aide to Colin Powell
"It just seems like everything we did, John was someplace else..." - Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-IL
"I think it's his style as much as much as the positions he takes...I think it's his attitude that it's his way or the highway." - Former Senator Tim Hutchinson, R-AR
"I don't like McCain. I don't like him at all." - Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-CO

And neither last (of all available) nor least , "John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism, and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most electable Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn't lie all the time while claiming to engage in 'straight talk.'" - Ann Coulter, conservative columnist and author
While I acknowledge the preceding is hardly all that is exhausting in a search of FACTS concerning candidate John McCain, given his sub-par academic record, his manifested ignorance of even the most basic of international, geographic, constitutional and economic principles, his demonstrated deficit or integrity, his overabundance of a hair-trigger intemperate reactions, and intolerance of alternate voices, it is more than sufficient to provide substantive evidence that the only ones who support and who will vote for John McCain are either incredibly irreconcilably stupid or the most irredeemably evil of self-serving miscreants!
As for those women (and men) who supported Senator Hillary Clinton, and who now say they're going to vote for John McCain . . . Either your only devotion was a consequence of her genetalia, which defines you within the group just articulated, or if what you were most interested in were the issues espoused by the New York senator, and you're nonetheless intent on casting a vote that is in direct opposition to your own professed interests . . . you are the most irreconcilably stupid of all!

For any and all veterans . . . nothing will be able to explain or define that cascaded over the precipice moronic obtuseness. Don't bother visiting a VA medical center, you're beyond all help!

PS - Of course I welcome responses, those that disagree as well as those that agree. But I've got to insist that only those retaining the courage of their convictions to include their real name and the city where they reside, exactly as they would for any letter to the editor, will be read or responded to. Now is the time for all of us to live up to the words and sentiments in our National Anthem.
