Maybe this is why John McCain is against waterboarding…January 6th, 2008 | 8 Comments | Posted in 2007, 2008, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney, US News & World Report, Waterboarding

From a December 6, 2007 article in U.S. News & World Report, an interesting article about some of the major candidates and their relationships with their fathers.
Read the whole thing if you’re interested, but I will highlight this quote without further comment:
As a boy, young John [McCain] was unhappy that his father was away so much in the Navy. The boy had trouble containing his temper and toeing the line of order and discipline so prized in his family. One of his parents’ techniques, administered mostly by his dad when he was home, was to dunk him, fully clothed, into a bathtub of cold water when he had a tantrum. It “cured” him, he reported later.
