We should change his handle to &lt;strong&gt;pitch_man&lt;/strong&gt; as I am sure he works in some capacity on the McCain campaign.</description>

		<description>This shows a character defect in McCain. Sometimes he gets really prickly, surly, nasty, way beyond what&#039;s appropriate. One of his national co-chairs noted for his straightforward honest conservative talk and McCain adapts an intense smirk and says he might consider him to be an ambassador to Belarus, but Belarus might not take him?! We AREN&#039;T in a recession, people DO whine at times. What about &quot;we have nothing to fear but fear itself&quot;. Let&#039;s not be afraid. Let&#039;s not whine. If McCain is going to run his campaign like this, and govern like this, he&#039;s going to do more than his share of throwing people under buses too.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Off the bus: Phil Gramm steps down from McCain camp&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Estupido, opportunity lost. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Juan Hernandez, however, remains.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Mucho estupido. The McCain campaign/Presidency in a microcosm.
To hell with the truth, got pander?</description>

		<description>Darn it, Michelle beat me to it a day early and way before I commented on it on the Saturday blog. Shoot! My bad. :oops:

McCain is going to need as big a bus (with less a carbon footprint than Obummer&#039;s) as Obummer. :roll:</description>

		<description>The more I think about, the more I think I am going to have to vote for Bob Barr.  

I know he won&#039;t win, but if enough people say NO to all this nonsense from the RNC, maybe they&#039;ll see we are not going to just walk in lockstep with candidates that do not meet our expectations.

When Republicans run from their principles, the loose elections.  Why is it so hard for them to remember that?</description>

		<description>The image of John McCain driving a &quot;farm&quot; bus popped into my head during this discussion...

McCain driving a small farm worker bus, with Juan Hernandez standing behind him. On board, members of his election committee. One stands up and says something without first asking permission. Hernandez leans over to McCain&#039;s ear and says, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;My friend, My friend! Are you going to stand for that? Did you tell him it was okay to say that? My friend! That will not get you elected if you let &quot;those&quot; kind of people do your talking. My friend! Don&#039;t you think your campaign would be better off without the &#039;loose cannons?&#039;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

McCain agrees, slows down, opens the doors of the straight talk &quot;farm&quot; bus, and pushes the committee member out, yelling as he pulls away, &lt;strong&gt;&quot;I do the talking here, but I still need your support....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;oka-a-a-a-a-y-y-y?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

Juan leans out the still open door, looks behind the bus, which is still moving slowly, and motions vigorously with his hand, beconing someone to advance. That person, a Latino voter, is motioned to climb on top of the bus, and does so, crowding in with dozens of others on the now top-heavy bus.

Juan flashes a toothy smile, winks at those on top of the bus, and returns to his place behind the oblivious candidate....</description>

Re: energy...
Live in or been to Hawaii? If so, have you seen the TWO wind farms down at South Point on Hawaii (Big Island)?
One of the farms is dead with rusted out, oil splattered mills, minus propellers and real eerie.
Then up the hill, brand new ones, spinning away.
IMHO, it seems to me there had better be a true commitment to proper technology and maintenance of wind farms ($$$$$),else a big waste of land and $$.</description>

		<description>Is it possible that Juan McCain doesn&#039;t really &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to be president?

I mean, c&#039;mon, he doesn&#039;t slam Obama about his gaffes and ridiculous positions on issues when given the chance.

Then he goes and complains about that &lt;strong&gt;New Yorker&lt;/strong&gt; magazine cover? He acts like he&#039;s a memeber of Obama&#039;s campaign.

		<description>#34 AN, I think I have to agree with you on this one. At first I thought JUAN was trying to out-nice BOB DOLE, but now I believe he is trying to out-stupid JERRY FORD. This man has no ambition to be POTUS.</description>
