The vice presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden turned out to be a tug of war between opposites, pitting not just woman versus man, but outsider versus insider, freshness versus experience, and simplicity versus details.

SENATOR JOHN 'MAVERICK HOTHEAD' MCCAIN is 100% UNFIT FOR U.S. PRESIDENT and COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!!!
IF ELECTED, JOHN MCCAIN WOULD START WORLD WAR 3 BY DROPPING NUCLEAR BOMBS ON IRAN - and HE DOES NOT CARE THAT THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH AND ALL ITS LIFE WILL BE DESTROYED IN AN NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST !!!!
***Posted by a HIGHLY DECORATED 100% DISABLED VIETNAM VETERAN who was WOUNDED 3X IN COMBAT and has PH.D.
FACT#1
Senator John McCain DOES NOT POSSESS ONE IOTA of SOUND PRESIDENTIAL TEMPERMENT, WISDOM, INTEGRITY, and VISION because JOHN MCCAIN IS A SADISTIC WARMONGER AND SATANIC LUNATIC! After 9/11, the U.S. WAR WITH IRAQ WAS SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN’S BRAINCHILD – and was borrowed and used by President Bush and VP Dick Cheney! It was also JOHN MCCAIN'S WRONG IDEA that IRAQ POSSESSED WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
IRAQ WAR STATISTICS From MAY 2003 to SEPTEMBER 2008:
*U.S TAXPAYERS SPENT $989 BILLION DOLLARS IN IRAQ @ $341 MILLION DOLLARS A DAY
*4,177 AMERICANS HAVE DIED IN COMBAT
*1.2 MILLION IRAQI DEATHS
*34,000 AMERICANS WOUNDED IN COMBAT
JOHN MCCAIN'S NICKNAME in the U.S. CONGRESS is "SENATOR HOTHEAD" BECAUSE OF HIS VIOLENT TEMPER! According to former Democratic Phoenix AZ Mayor Paul Johnson who knew McCain personally for over 20-years: "JOHN MCCAIN’S VOLATILITY BORDERS IN THE AREA OF BEING UNSTABLE. BEFORE I LET THIS GUY PUT HIS FINGER ON THE NUCLEAR BUTTON AS U.S. PRESIDENT, I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE CONSIDERABLE PAUSE.”
According to former U.S. Congressman John LeBoutillier (R-NY): “I THINK SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE AND NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT."
According to fellow GOP Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM): “I WOULD NOT WANT JOHN MCCAIN TO EVER BE PRESIDENT AND NEAR AMERICA’S NUCLEAR TRIGGER EVER.”
According to fellow GOP Senator Bob Smith (R-N.H): "JOHN MCCAIN’S UNCONTROLLABLE TEMPER WOULD PLACE THIS COUNTRY AT SERIOUS RISK IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS, AND THE WORLD IN GRAVE DANGER."
According to fellow Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA): “JOHN MCCAIN HAS A HUGE ANGER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE SEEN EXPLODE ON THE U.S. SENATE FLOOR AT LEAST 50 TIMES. JOHN MCCAIN’S VOLATILE TEMPER MAKES HIM UNFIT FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.”
According to retired U.S. General Paul Eaton who was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004: “I am a very worried by John McCain’s knee-jerk response factor. I find it scary that McCain’s first reactions are highly volatile. He does not posses the right temperament and intellect to be President."
FACT #2
IS THERE ANYTHING HUMOROUS OR FUNNY ABOUT WAR AND ITS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION? Evidently JOHN MCCAIN THINKS WAR IS FUNNY! In MAY 2007, JOHN MCCAIN was asked what should be done about IRAN. McCain responded by singing, "BOMB BOMB IRAN - BOMB BOMB IRAN" to the tune of the Beach Boy's song Barbara Ann.
Likewise in Febuary 2006, JOHN MCCAIN stated to the Munich Conference on Security Policy:
"IF DIPLOMACY FAILS, THE U.S. MUST KEEP THE NUCLEAR BOMB MILITARY OPTION ON THE TABLE TO PREVENT IRAN FROM HAVING AN ARMED NUCLEAR WEAPONS."
This means that IF ELECTED U.S. PRESIDENT, JOHN MCCAIN IS PREPARED TO IGNITE WORLD WAR 3 WITH IRAN, HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT DROPPING AN ATOMIC BOMB ON IRAN, AND DOES NOT CARE THAT THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH AND ALL LIFE WILL BE DESTROYED IN AN ARMAGEDDON NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST !!!!
FACT#3
According to Webster’s Dictionary, a MAVERICK is defined as an egotistical politician who takes an independent stand apart from his or her political party.
Senator John McCain is ALWAYS BOASTING that he is a MAVERICK as if this were a POSITIVE QUALITY and SOME QULAITY TO BE PROUD OF to become a highly successful effective U.S. Senator or U.S. President!
Most intelligent Americans clearly know that BEING A MAVERICK like Senator John McCain is a DANGEROUS ANTI-SOCIAL NEGATIVE QUALITY for any U.S. Senator or President to possess because MAVERICKS DO NOT WORK WELL WITH OTHER POLITICAL LEADERS IN A TEAM and DO NOT ACCEPT OTHER POLITICAL LEADERS’S IDEAS and RECOMMENDATIONS on WHAT IS AMERICA’S BEST INTERESTS.
FACT#4
All top rated U.S. Presidents of the 20th Century like FDR, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, and Ronald Reagan were successful leaders who possessed honorable characters that inspired their fellow Americans to trust and follow their goals for protecting America’s economic well being and national security. All top rated U.S. Presidents applied TEAM WORK STRATEGIES (not MAVERICK STRATEGIES) in directing their cabinet teams to work effectively with the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives in passing critical bi-partisan legislation.
FACT#5
In all successful professional careers (i.e. sports, military, education, business, government, politics, etc.), the highest levels of all human achievement have been attained by TEAMS WORKING IN HARMONY with TEAMWORK AS A GROUP – NOT WORKING AS MAVERICKS!
FACT#6
No top rated U.S. Presidents of the 20th Century (FDR, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, and Ronald Reagan) has ever been a MAVERICK – they ALL HAVE BEEN TEAM PLAYERS for their POLITICAL PARTY and COUNTRY!
The USA has NEVER ELECTED a MAVERICK like SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN as its President and Commander in Chief!
FACT #7
Senator John McCain DOES NOT POSSESS THE RIGHT-STUFF MORAL CHARACTER and TEMPERMENT to be elected U.S. President.
Senator John McCain IS A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR just like RICHARD NIXON and cannot be trusted to PUT AMERICA'S BEST INTERESTS FIRST and ABOVE HIS OWN INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS and POLITICAL AGENDA!!!
Senator John McCain EVIL DEEDS HAVE BETRAYED AMERICA’S BEST INTERESTS time and time again during his service in the U.S. Navy and Congress.
FACT #8
Senator John McCain’s is so CORRUPT SPIRITUALLY that HE WILL DO ANYTHING to BE ELECTED PRESIDENT including PUTTING HIS OWN COUNTRY IN HARM'S WAY by SELECTING ALASKAN GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN as his VP nominee when SHE IS 100% UNQUALIFIED TO BE U.S. PRESIDENT in EVERY WAY ACCORDING TO MILLIONS INTELLIGENT EDUCATED AMERICANS - including MANY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS!
IF ELECTED, JOHN MCCAIN WOULD START WORLD WAR 3 BY DROPPING NUCLEAR BOMBS ON IRAN - and HE DOES NOT CARE THAT THE ENTIRE PLANET EARTH AND ALL ITS LIFE WILL BE DESTROYED IN AN NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST !!!!
