Enough!!! That's it! I have rejoined NOW, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and NORML today (after having complacently let my support lapse for years since the 70's). I have contributed a full tithe's amount to Obama and Biden in the last few days. If the GOP thinks they can legislate morality, they are not thinking clearly. I really think that Palin's nomination has galvanized the Democratic base. I know it has galvanized me! I am volunteering full-time for the Obama campaign, starting tomorrow. It's the line in the sand, folks. Enough is enough!

I don't think that McSame's admission of this is a GOOD thing.
I only knew two kids who threw these kinds of temper tantrums. They are both adults now. One is a convicted felon who is also an unemployed drug addict. The other is a diagnosed sociopath who has no conscience and makes his living by bilking retirees out of their life savings.

By the age of two, Sarah was already shooting and bagging snow bunnies. Especially the librul ones. "Oh, you wascawy wabbits!"
If anyone on this blog has ANY Influence with the Democratic Presidential Committee, please see to it that they check C-Span's Archives to see US Representative John McCain's TEMPERMANT during the House's Hearings on EL Salvador and Nicaragua in the 1980's when Ronald Reagan's henchmen sided with the right wing militias and made excuses for them -- those that killed the American Nuns -- and killed thousands of their own people in the name of freedom and democracy.
I remember McCaine saying to a former Army Officer who was against what the US was doing in El Salvador during a hearing that he was a communist.
How anyone can believe that a person who was tortured for years, who is an ANGRY, Vengeful Man, who to this day is famous for venting in the US Senate can be qualified to be President of the United States is unbelievable.
I cannot believe that this Angry Man cannot survive the vagaries of life without help from Anti-Depressants and Tranquillizers.
Why does surviving the Hanoi Hilton with honor and doing his duty as he saw fit during the Vietnam War qualify anyone for the Presidency of the United States and to be the most powerful person in the World.

I don't get it!!!! Someone explain this to me. Having good relations with the American press for over 20 years and telling jokes are qualifications?
It is frightening to believe that no one has ever brought these facts up as to McCain's temperament with proof on Video.

Yikes: (sorry for the long post)
Causes of Temper Tantrums
There can be many causes of temper tantrums. Some of the causes are indicators of family problems: inconsistent discipline, criticizing too much, parents being too protective or neglectful, children not having enough love and attention from their mother and father, problems with the marriage, interference with play, emotional problems for either parent, meeting a stranger, rivalry with brothers or sisters, having problems with speech, and illness (2). Other common causes of temper tantrums include being hungry or tired.
Children who have temper tantrums often have other problems like thumb sucking, head banging, bed wetting and problem sleeping. If these behaviors happen, or if your child has temper tantrums that last more than 15 minutes or occur three or more times a day at younger than 1 or older than 4, seek help from a family physician, psychologist, or marriage and family therapist. Be advised to seek more than an exclusively behavior therapy approach, for results have been reported to be about equally effective and ineffective (11, 14, 17). An approach is recommended that combines the best of behavior modification, family systems thinking (1), and other approaches like paradoxical intervention (6).
Sometimes temper tantrums in preschool children are the beginning of patterns that lead to children becoming increasingly disobedient, rebellious and aggressive as they grow older. At the Oregon Social Learning Center, aggressive boys in angry families were studied (12, 13). A complex pattern was observed that included:
* Parents have trouble with some stressor events like divorce, prolonged unemployment, illness, alcohol or other drug problems, other chronic problems, or dealing with a difficult child. * Parents have difficulty controlling children's teasing, yelling, disobedience, whining. * Parents allow the child to get away with angry displays. * As children learn what they can get away with if they are encouraged to display temper tantrums, angry outbursts, etc., they become increasingly disobedient, rebellious and aggressive. * More and more peers reject the child and parents tend to reject or avoid the child, too.
Carol Tavris (16), in her book, Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion, writes about the pattern becoming circular and occurring hundreds of times each day. She sees the pattern as a three-step process:
1. The child is attacked, criticized, or yelled at by an exasperated parent, brother or sister; 2. The child responds aggressively. 3. The child's aggression is rewarded when the attacker withdraws and the child learns to use tactics such as whining, yelling and temper tantrums.
When other family members also use these methods, the problems increase. At the Oregon Social Learning Center, Patterson (12, 13) found that when angry exchanges lasted longer than 18 seconds, the family had an increased chance of becoming violent. When talking or even yelling went on and on, it often led to hitting.
The problem is often, though not always, inept, inconsistent parenting. One solution lies in stopping the shouting, scolding, or spanking; in getting oneself calm; stating clear rules and requiring compliance; noticing and complimenting appropriate behavior; and following through with logical consequences.
Parents can learn how to nurture and discipline effectively. Overly authoritarian parents who exercise too much power and use discipline punitively can learn more effective "authoritative" parenting. Overly permissive parents who exercise too little power and use too little discipline can also learn to be authoritative parents. As is often the case, balance is important. Authoritative parents learn daily when and how to discipline their children effectively by setting standards, enforcing rules, exercising authority when necessary, and yet recognizing children's rights (4, 9).
