Equal Slime
In the name of equal, uh, time; since I've posted blog items about both of the Dimocrats today, it's only fair that I put up a link to what a sleazebag McCain is. Here, from a guy who was blogging in back cave days, and looks like it, too (and I mean that in the nicest of ways)...Ken Layne on John McCain's Long Career Of Sleazy Lies, Semi-Affairs & Total Corruption:
While Grandpa Straight Talk was running for the presidency in 2000, all his aides were going nuts because he was constantly traveling with a good-looking lobbyist gal who was, at the time, in her early thirties.Whether or not McCain and Vicki Iseman were having sexytime on the corporate jets he used to fly around the country, McCain did do the bidding of Iseman’s clients.
At this point, he had barely cleared his name from the Keating Five Savings & Loan scandal.
In one of his few acknowledgments that the Arizona senator has ever been to Arizona, McCain made a point of not flying direct from National Airport to Phoenix because he had some part in opening up that commercial air route — but because he always flies in luxury private jets provided by the Corporates, it didn’t much inconvenience him.McCain helped launch some campaign-ethics group, but the group ended up doing the exact same corrupt things it was supposedly against, so he quit in shame.
Corrupt banker/developer Charles Keating was, obviously, an immediate supporter of McCain’s long congressional career. Keating showered dirty money and fancy vacations on McCain, who loves all that shit.
Then McCain tried to get the government off the back of Keating’s failing corrupt Lincoln Savings and Loan, because McCain really wants to get government off the backs of his corrupt millionaire friends.
McCain got caught, but somehow clung to his senate seat.
But McCain can still pretend to “wince” at the memory of getting caught, so who cares if the bailout cost American taxpayers $3.4 billion?
He also got caught having a big lobbyist fund-raising deluxe luxury fancy party in 2000. So he ran and hid like a little girl.
Lobbyists control his entire miserable, corrupt life.
He loves lobbyists, both in the figurative and literal sense, because he was probably screwing that one lobbyist.
And when the lobbyists need a quick letter to the FCC or whatever to help their clients, John Maverick McCain is always quick to help, the end.
McCain info from NYT story
I'm a conservative and I can't stand to look at him. I'm not voting this year, I just don't have a dog in this fight. McCain is absolutely determined to throw that border wide open and give American citizenship to the entire country of Mexico. I don't know why, but he will, and I don't want any part of it. I will never vote for him. He will be just as big of a football bat as either of the other two. And he is corrupt as hell. His whole fucking campaign staff is made up of lobbyists, and his daughter. He has a very long history of snuggling up to lobbyists and fighting like hell for their interests no matter how much shit it dumps on the American people. And I still think Hillary has a picture of him fucking a male llama in a pink tutu hidden in Huma Abedins chastidy belt.
I have a technical question. If you sneak up behind a president with a paper bag full of air and pop it, and the 73 year old president dies in wretching convuslions with an exploding heart, would that really be considered anything more than just an unfortunate accident?
Just asking.

The only way I could vote for McCain and not have to exhaust my supply of hot water in the shower afterwards is if he picks a REAL conservative as his veep. Given his age, I expect he won't want to go more than one term anyhow, and if he picks a decent veep (unlike Cheney - who was too old for the job the day he was named) the guy could be a shoo-in. (shoe-in??)
So, if he tagged J.C. Watts, maybe Pat Toomey, hell, I'd even settle for Duncan Hunter.
But, he won't. He'll pick a liberal like Specter and drag us kicking and screaming to left-wing socialist paradise.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Brian, you are right, I think McCain is going to pick Lindsey Grahmn for VP, simply because he is tone deaf and stubborn as hell. He is not going to pick a conservative. He is getting a little ahead in the polls now and will feel safe picking another RINO.
Swiss, I loved Bill and Opus. I don't read the funnies anymore. Miss those guys.

Why settle for the lesser evil?

Then again if a trigger happy, PTSD prone, dementia suffering president had his hands on a buch of nuke - it just might solve the worlds overpopulation problem

Personally, I'm more libertarian than conservative, but I definitely want a small-government / fiscal conservative on at least one of the tickets.
After eight years of a big government conservative who followed eight years of big government liberal it's time to tackle the real problem with our government - it spends too much and it spends way too inefficiently. For example, we spend more per child on education than any nation on earth and our children are still dumber than fruit bats.
Hence, I wouldn't totally cringe if McCain picked Bobby Jindal or JC Watts (both much more religious than I usually like my candidates).
I'm not a McCain fan, but let's be fair regarding the Keating Five scandal, John McCain (R-Arizona) and John Glenn (D-Ohio) were both singled out by the Senate Ethics Committee (oxymoron?) as not deserving the degree of censure as the totally corrupt Cranston (D), DeConcini (D), and Reigle (D). But the Democrats didn't want a $4 billion scandal laid entirely at their feet. The tarred McCain because they needed to have a Republican involved, too. Keeping McCain meant Glenn got tarred as well. Interestingly enough, only McCain and Glenn were reelected after the scandal came to light. The other three were finished.
