Lobbyists must invest in a lot of chapstick, don't you think?



Ohhhhhh yeahhhhh, right!! Lobbyists and special interest groups OWN the backsides of politicians. They'd be cutting their nose off to spite their face, wouldn't they?

And I yes, I remember "Nancy & Sluggo", but not "Priscilla's Pop". Ohhhhhh heyyy, remember "The Katzenjammer Kids"... and what about "Red Ryder"?

LM, How are you? I see you are your picky self. Anyway I stand by what I said, he is unsuitable for the Presidency, all he's doing is picking up the policy of President Bush, it's apparent he does'nt have his own. How can you run for President, if you don't have your own policy? He might as well call himself mini-me Bush,lol.

SPM, you had the opportunity to provide a quantifiable answer but declined. Since I am feeling charitable, I am not going to point out that your original claim was that he was unqualified and your new claim is he is unsuitable. Instead of accusing you of being deceptive I will instead conclude you simply do not understand the difference between unqualified and unsuitable. Better ignorant than dishonest I suppose...

Of the present potential candidates there is no doubt that McCain is by far the most "qualified", maybe even overqualified. (Doesn't take much, does it?)

What gives you 'permission' to Are you going to quote your 1st amendment right to 'freedom of speech?' Does the first Amendment apply only to you, Lawmage? Are you now appointing yourself as not only the Mage of Law; but, also, as the Mage of Words. You have done it so often in the past.

Gives me permission to what, Liz? To feel charitable? I suppose its my good and gentle nature that allows me to feel charitable...Did you have a specific question, Liz, or just an itch to indulge in an ad hominem attack?

McCain does not favor a time line for withdrawal of forces in Iraq or Afghanistan. I like that. If we tell the enemy when we are leaving, we are telling them when to come back. The time to withdraw is when the enemy is defeated and the nations can stand their own against any resurgence. The time cannot be determined by the big hand and the little hand on a clock.

LM , John McCain is unqualified and unsuitable, he's a mini-bush as I said before. He does'nt even have his own policy, I could think of a list of things to call Mr.McCain and they all would be correct.

you want to get into a debate of words, as I mentioned before, you have very good book sense, and very intellectuaul, but leave a lot to be desired in the area of common sense.

Really? Doesn't even have his own policy? But don't you remember when John McCain was being praised by Democrats and the New York Times and the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times and CNN and ABC and NBC and CBS and MSNBC and all the other media outlets of the Democratic National Committee for being a "Maverick" for standing up AGAINST George Bush and having his OWN plans and his OWN agenda and his OWN mind and how he wasn't a lackey or a tool of the Bush White House?

Now you accuse John McCain of being in George Bush's back pocket. Can't you people stick to one story for longer than it takes to change your socks?

It's his story that makes that possible. If he flip-flops from not supporting torture to supporting toture that's his story. If he does it because his plan is not PC and he wants to 'get on board' then it's his loss of plan.
