McCains Day Marked By False Statements And Gaffes

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:04:07 -0700

This article describes some of the many gaffs of John McCain. There are many more to be seen on http://www.therealmccain.com with almost 2 million views on YouTube.com in about 2 weeks.

What neither video or article addresses is the psychology of a man who says and believes whatever pops into his head (because he was once a war hero). This strange pattern of total self-deception may have been caused by his war hero circumstances in captivity but that is simplistic and not knowable.

So what is McCain's disconnect between his non-stop remorseless false statements which is similar and different than the Bush disconnect between his 'gut' decisions when opposed to all human evidence.

The psychological term of art most closely describing what underlies McCain's non-stop gaffs is called "ego sytonic".

Here is one definition:
"# syntonic= behaviors "insync" with the ego (no guilt)
# dystonic= behavior "dis-n-sycn' with the ego (guilt)
The ego's job is to determine the best course of action based on information from the ID, reality, and the Super Ego (SE). When the ego is comfortable with it's conclusions and behaviors, (in denial in these sort of cases), one is said to be ego-syntonic. For example, an individual with borderline personality disorder (BPD) that is in denial, could be an ego-syntonic BPD. However, if the person with BPD were bothered by some of their behaviors, they would be an ego-dystonic BPD." McCain is not bothered. He believes what he says despite that is neither consistent with fact or reality.

We do not need two psychologically defective Presidents unless this country is ready to call it quits on the world stage.
