From a fellow senator

Notably mild-mannered Republican Sen. Thad Cochran shocked many earlier this year with comments about John McCain's volatile temper, but has since mended fences with the GOP presidential nominee.

But Cochran told the Sun Herald this week that he witnessed a confrontation between McCain and a Sandinista rebel decades ago that shocked him when McCain "got mad at the guy and he just reached over there and snatched him."

Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1972 and then to the U.S. Senate in 1978, Cochran, a consummate gentleman, measures his words and his actions carefully, a necessity for political staying power. But he said something that surprised many in a Boston Globe article this past January about his longtime Senate colleague McCain.

"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine," Cochran told the Globe. "He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

McCain got mad at a Sandinista rebel and "just reached over there and snatched him"? Is there a problem with that? You libs go ahead and hitch your mule to that one for a negative campaign ad. The American people will love McCain for that. :lol:

I give him kudos for that, if he did it. I'll bet that pos knew that McCain meant business and wasn't afraid of him and subsequently lost some bravado and confidence. What would Obama do in that case, threaten to not serve milk with the oreos?

We used to say that about the Gyrenes-- they had BALLS- but needed someone with brains to point them in the right direction...Seems similar with neocons.... :wink:
