HOW IS JOHN MCCAIN CONTROLLING HIS PTSD?

[redstate_democrat]

How is John McCain managing to appear as a marginally sane person while on the campaign trail? He hasn't made any crazy outbursts as of yet, but we're counting down the seconds till that catastrophic mental breakdown.

How many pills does his campaign advisers have him on right now?

Should we institute a McInsane Ticker? Let's count down the days until his Insanity Pills wear off and he has a major emotional breakdown. He can't keep his flips straight with his flops. He's mixing his flops with his flippity floppers. That can get tiring and emotionally taxing.

1. a McInsane Ticker? Yes!

3. I'm not incredibily computer savvy, but I wonder if one of our more

computer literate or tech savvy Du'ers could come up with a fancy little ticker. Let me google and see if I could get something going.

:D

5. I think this is a DEAD SERIOUS subject...

...and sometimes I get panic attacks worrying about McCain's unresolved PTSD.

McCain has very profound unresolved PTSD. Yes, I know I'm not a shrink, but it
doesn't take Freud to see what's going on.

A telltale sign of very serious PTSD is that someone will live their lives recapitulating
the initial trauma. They put themselves (consciously and subconsciously) into situations
that mirror the int ital trauma. It's actually a release for the brain to re-play the
trauma and get out the buried emotions.

That's why children who experience abuse--grow up to abuse or they marry abusers. Their
minds are still looping through that trauma. They can't face their pain, but they are
still driven to deal with those emotions--that lie just below the surface.

McCain spent years being tortured and tormented in a war theater. Now, as an adult, he
appears to be doing everything possible to gain power and interject himself into more
and more war.

Does everyone have nightmares yet????? Bush was a neurotic chuckle head. McCain is
bat shit traumatized and he is fueled by the rage, anger and pain of his war trauma--which
creates an unending thirst for more war.

He's like a child. Only this time, he gets to be the one with all of the power--controlling
the war.

Seriously...God help us all if this man gets near anything related to controlling foreign policy.

8. I'm terrified of this man's rage. You know there is a problem when ever

horribly maladjusted Repugs even comment on McInsane's temper. He is DANGEROUS for this country. Combine his old age with his PTSD and you have a recipe for disaster.

6. He's controlling it?

[redstate_democrat]

10. As I stated in the OP

he APPEARS "marginally sane", meaning that a hefty dose of anti-psychotic drugs are making him APPEAR marginally in control.

But YOU and I know he is boiling under the surface. He is like a fucking TIME BOMB ready to EXPLODE!!!!

7. Hey, it's change he deserves!

9. I guess, unconsciously, the Repugs are trying to warn us?

They are stepping right into the fire with this one.
