And, as Micheal Keaton said in "Night Shift", "I wash my hands and my feet of you."
Really, when any of you nitwits get a retrofit of grey matter into your craniums, drop me line. Debating all y'all is like fishing with a shotgun.

OK, numbnuts. Here are a few facts for you to ruminate over during the upcoming weekend. They have to do with - you guessed it - McBush's voting record. You Neanderthals wanted proof that the Arizona GranPa was a better legislator than Barack, well, here's your proof to the contrary.
And BTW - any time you'd like to lay off the "you must be stoned, Dude" rebuttals (as lame as they may sound to the Real World) - you're more than welcome to start dealing with facts versus fiction.
Here's McBush's voting record as a US Senator (i.e., since 1995):
on ...
Abortion - 4 No Votes
Agriculture - 8 No Votes
Appropriations - 12 No Votes
Budget, Spending & Taxes - 56 No Votes
Business & Consumers - 32 No Votes
Civil Liberties/Rights - 7 No Votes
Crime - 2 No Votes
Defense - 11 No Votes (didn't vote at all in 2008)
Education - 9 No Votes (voted once in 2007, never in 2008)
Employment - 2 No Votes
Energy - 15 No Votes (didn't vote at all in either 2007 or 2008)
Environment - 21 No Votes - (didn't vote at all in either 207 or 2008)
Executive Branch - 6 No Votes (didn't vote for the new Atty General; didn't vote to approve Alan Greenspan as head of Fed Reserve)
Families/Children Issues - 4 No Votes
Federal/State/Local issues - 2 No Votes
Foreign Aid - 21 No votes (didn't vote at all in 2008)
Gun Issues - 1 No Vote (hasn't voted at all since 2006)
Health issues - 21 No Votes (didn't vote at all in 2008, only twice in 2007)
Housing/Property - 5 No Votes (voted once in 2008)
Immigration - 10 No Votes (didn't vote at all in 2008)
Indigenous People - 3 No Votes (has NEVER voted; AZ has 5% Native American population - you'd think this issue mattered to his constituents)
Labor - 6 No Votes
Legal Issues - 5 No Votes
Military issues - 11 No Votes (didn't vote at all in 2008 - isn't McBush the "friend of the military?")
National Security - 15 no Votes
Regulatory Issues - 1 No Vote
Reproductive Issues - 2 No Votes
Seniors/Social Security issues - 5 No Votes (didn't vote at all in 2008)
Social issues - 5 No Votes
Technology/Communications Issues - 3 No Votes
Trade Issues - 5 No Votes (No votes in either 2007 or 2008)
Transportation - 9 No Votes (didn't vote in either 2007 or 2008)
Veterans Issues - 3 No Votes (didn't vote at all in 2007 or 2008)
Welfare/Poverty Issues - 10 No Votes (voted ONCE since 1996)
Women's Issues - 2 No Votes
Kinda begs the question of what the f__ck was McNeverland doing instead of voting? Carousing? Blowing off steam? Hugging GW Bush? Hugging himself?
Raise your hand when you any of you morons get a qualified candidate to run in November. This one's been out to lunch for so long I'll bet he thinks EVERYONE gets a free lunch.
And, don't tell me - you probably think Romney's his best choice as a running mate. Stop, please, I'm laughing too hard.

Plus, the old goat has changed 180 degrees from 2000. Now, he's as much in the back pocket of the corporate lobbyists as The Bushter was/is. As my mother-in-law likes to say, "Nothing good can come from this."
We all - every American - deserves a change ... a fresh start ... and we all need to take a hard look at what needs to be done to fix what GWB has broken. No more torture. No more unprovoked wars. No more trashing of environmental laws/regs. Energy policies that look to the future and make all 300 million of us pitch in to do the right thing for Planet Earth - our true legacy to our kids. And a good education for EVERY American.
And, most of all, no more free ride for anyone - including fat cat Republicans who have been living off of the rest of us for 8 long, long, years. I'm tired of it and I believe in my heart that most everyone else is, too.
No more "same old, same old" which is what a McBush presidency promises.
Plus, I feel Obama will choose Jim Webb as his VP. Couldn't ask for a better military man than that.

D -
Just so you understand my beef with McBush is the fact that he confessed to the Vietcong - some say on the day he was captured. Does that sound like a war hero to you?
Not my idea of a straight-talker. Add the way he trashed Wife #1 ... the Keating 5 scandal (which cost ALL of us billions in the 70's) and it doesn't add up to a winning hand.

Certainly did. USMA, then 5yrs RA.
No combat, but was always ready for any situation. Professionally done.

And, finally, it's "Schlitz", not "Schilitz."
I drink neither Schlitz nor Pabst Blue Ribbon. I prefer something with more character and style, like Sam Adams, or Anchor Steam. In moderation.

So THAT'S what GOP stands for: "Get Outta Patriotism" by "making a move to Canada or running to hide when things get a little tough." Now I get it.
It's really John Sidney McDiapers, isn't it? That's what your little Songbird did, right? The minute he was in the hands of the Vietcong he sang like he was at Carnegie Hall. And he kept singing until his release. That's why he cried in front of his (true hero) father when he got home and told him how he had betryed his country. Your country. My country.
"Called to Serve" doesn't mean "run and hide" like you whimpering GOP draft-dodgers. I guarandamntee you that this idiotic war in Iraq would be over the day after Congress re-instated the draft. You Republicans would run so fast your little pants would catch fire.
That's what you two and the rest of your ilk have tried to do with Iraq - make it someone else's problem. Some poor volunteer slob, trying to get some $$$$ after his/her enlistment time to pay for an education (over 80% of enlistees list that as their primary reason for enlisting).
What the hell? Let 'em go fight that messy little war and who cares if they come back or not? None of my family is there, so what the hell, right guys?
Check out the dictionary definition of "patriotism" and see if you and your ilk fit it. I'm betting you don't come close.
And that flag pin on your lapel? Probably made in China.
Check back in when you grow spines.

TBT - So what's your comparative on Biden and Palin?
Seems to me that Barack neutralized any issues regarding experience by selecting the senator from Delaware. On the other hand, it seems to me that McCain chose someone who may now be characterized as a "worse than Quayle" VP candidate.
I am very aware that the Bush-Quayle ticket was victorious, but find it unlikely that anyone will compare Obama to Dukakis. I worried each day the Bush Senior would succumb and we would be left with Dan Quayle, Boy Genius, at the helm.
The woman (pro-gun, pro-life, pro-corruption) McCain selected was mayor of a village of 9000 people less than 2 years ago. How in God's name can that qualify anyone to sit one heartbeat away from the most powerful job on Planet Earth? If McCain believes - in any way - that his VP selection will somehow sway millions of pro-Hillary Dems and have them vote for him he needs to up his medication.
This choice makes a mockery of the process and demeans all women - especially those within the GOP who are truly qualified to run for VP (or for president for that matter), including Kay Bailey Hutchinson, or Elizabeth Dole (to name only two). Senator Hutchinson was incredulous when asked to respond to McCain's choice. Ever the polite Texan, KBH said nothing about Gov Palin rather than saying something derogatory.
