We can't let America elect another unhinged raving lunatic

Back in 2004, the entire world was rooting for Americans to do the right thing. And yet, we end up with this:
We are starting to see McCain completely lose his shit. He is blowing off reporters. He is becoming unhinged in a big time manner - lashing out at Obama on the most crazy of attacks, all while continuing to make mistake after mistake about basic foreign policy issues and trying to run a campaign based on two things:
Something that happened close to 40 years ago (his Vietnam service and POW status); and
Something that he credits himself with (the so called "surge") which, at best, has only resulted in some decrease in violence - which is related to more than just "more troops" and has no bearing on what needs to be done now in Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
............................
Too many Americans rejected Kerry in 2004 because he wasn’t enough of an asshole to the rest of the world, and we all know how great it was for our standing in the world with Captain Asshole in charge of pissing off everyone else just because he could. With McCain it is even worse - just like Bush but angrier, older, more unstable and with more of a temper and grudge against more people.
Which is a scary thought.
