Question

Do you feel that McCain's time spent in a POW camp would effect his judgment as president?

Answer 1

Well, I do wonder how much his time in the military has affected his judgment. Despite the fact that he is a veteran, he has voted numerous times to cut veterans' benefits. One would think that since he is a veteran, he would be on the side of the veterans more often.

Answer 2

That's a pretty broad question.  Effect it in what way?

Answer 3

Yes. He has seen every side to war and knows its consequences. Something Obama cannot say.

Answer 4

I don't know if it was because he was a POW or not, but he is hot headed, a bit too easily angered, and likes to talk about war. He certainly has demonstrated bad judgement on Iraq, Georgia, Lincoln financial, Bush Tax cuts, GI Bill, etc. etc. etc...

Answer 5

Yes, he knows how the world works. Obama seems to think if we lay down our arms everyone else will too.

Answer 6

No, he has LONG since proved is decision making abilities in the Senate and in their business lives.

Answer 7

It could.  He was tortured, starved, beaten, etc.  That has to affect him psychologically. It might make him more reactive.  I don't want him as my President.  

Answer 8

Naw.  His decades of experience in the Federal government will affect his judgment, positively..

Answer 9

Yes. He has already used that as an excuse as to why he cheated on his wife.  

Answer 10

Definitely, He is old so he doesn't care about his life, So why would he care about other American's lives ?

Fact : He was famous in army with name "McNasty"  (Probably because of his invovement in so many accidents).

Answer 11

Having the honor of serving my country in the Navy, I can tell you that the rules of conduct when imprisoned are something you never want to have to face. It is more so as an officer. I think McCain definitely knows what it is to suffer. How that translates to being President, I don't know. But his Political record and years of service to this country both in and out of uniform say very much about his judgment.

Answer 12

every experience you have had effects every decision you make.  I believe his experience would effect him in a positive matter.

Answer 13

Well, in fact he has had at least two suicide attempts so I guess he is like a ticking bomb;-p

God Speed

Answer 14

Who knows what demons lurk in the minds of our candidates that may surface when the country is faced with a crisis.

Answer 15

It will , of course. But most important, that he is already falling apart.

Negativity kills faster than cancer.

Answer 16

no
