A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Well, McCain doesn’t. Still can’t vote for him, I think.

I’m smarter than that.

Yeah, I can see that.

PS Are people who spell offense with a C actually voting in the U.S. this cycle?

almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year

Or…

Quote: “Steve Ellis, a vice president at Taxpayers for Common Sense, a group critical of earmarks, said the amount is not unusual for a senator hailing from a big state who has long secured pet projects.”

Which is it?

Just as many politicians lie, too. Doesn’t make it right, does it? Are you suspicious of the ones that don’t?
No offence, but, good grief!

P.S. I’m not saying all earmarks are bad like lying is bad. I’m smarter than that.

Yeesh.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has requested nearly $2.3 billion in federal earmarks for 2009, almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year……

So all those years of not requesting earmarks make McCain an idiot?

Jeez, you guys really work overtime to criticize McCain. It’s really funny when you overreach. LOL

Again, setting earmarks aside, McCain with Campaign Finance Reform, for example, is an idiot.

How can you vote for a guy who makes wrong decisions?

How about immigration?

How about disguising in Conservative clothes while working with Liberals?

McCain voters, just like him, have no principles to stand on.

A billion here, a billion there, & pretty soon you’re talking big money.

I’m a Specialist in the Army. My base pay is something like $30K a year. So forgive me if I consider a hundredth of a billion to be big money. It must just be a matter of scale. I imagine I’m the one who is out of touch.

I guess since Hillary hasn’t been able to keep up with Barack Obama in the fundraising game, she’s looking for money to hold her Senate seat. Lots of it, in fact.

blatantblue-

wish I could find a copy of path to 9/11 in hard copy…

Try this link.

And then search there for: “path to 9/11“.

They have several uncut copies for sale.

I’ll need about $2.3 million.

Whooooo.

Weee.

Personally, I’ll take the poll’s, especially when it shows McCain losing. McCain remains the biggest threat to our nation that has ever run for the Presidency.

With McCain, you’re pulling the lever, and praying that he stays slightly conservative, despite his long record of doing exactly the opposite. If we needed any additional evidence that McCain was not ready to join the Conservative Ranks, we saw it last week. He didn’t even bother to view the ad put out by the Republican Party of NC, before denouncing it, and ordering them to cease and desist with it.

Give me Hillary, because McCain will be the death of us all.

Snake307 is the director of the Woodstock Museum LOL

Or a Paulbot. I suppose that doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Maybe if McCain was as smart as Hillary, he would’ve had more money in the bank right now.

And I’m not just talking about earmarks, but about everything.

John McCain is probably one of the few politicians in American History who is -stubbornly- shooting himself in the foot.

What an idiot!!
