McCain Cheating.

Lee Bell - 13 Sep 2008 12:25 GMT
The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican
candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was
much talk about ballot
recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice fishing competition
seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The candidate that caught the
most fish at the end
of the week would win the election.

Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest
between the two candidates to determine the winner.

After much back and forth discussion, it was decided that the contest take
place on a remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota. There were to be no
observers present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this
isolated lake and return at 5 P.M. with their catch for counting and
verification by a team of neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John
Mc. returned to the starting line and he had ten fish.

Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just
having another 'bad hair' day or something and hopefully, he would catch up
the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day John Mc. came in with 20 fish and Obama came in
again with none.

That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said, 'Obama,
I think John Mc. is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go out
tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just
how he is cheating.'

The next night (after John Mc. returns with 50 fish), Reid said to Obama,
'Well, tell me, how is John Mc. cheating?'

Obama replied, 'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting
holes in the ice.

'EXPERIENCE'      It really does make A huge difference.

And here I thought you were going to talk about the adulterous

guess that's OK as long as his name isn't Bill Clinton?

It's ok when you've spent 5 years being tortured in a POW hellhole, as
opposed to being a draft dodger like Clinton.

No.  No, it's not.

I feel for him for his time in that place and I applaud him for his
service, but neither makes it okay to cheat on your spouse.

To be honest, I was not aware that he cheated on his previous wife.  It's
not the kind of thing I spend much time thinking about and it's really none
of my business.  Lying to Congress, however, is something I care about and
is my business.

It would not make it OK for me to cheat on my spouse.  Presumably, it would
not make it OK for you either.  It is not your place, or mine, to decide
what is right or wrong between him and his previous or his current spouse.

No one disputes your honesty about your ignorance.  It's clear as
day.  But as a nice guy, I'll educate you for free:

From wikipedia.com:

"Commanding officer, liaison to Senate, and second marriage
McCain's return to the United States reunited him with his family. His
wife Carol had suffered her own crippling ordeal during his captivity,
due to an automobile accident in December 1969.[53] Her husband became
a celebrity of sorts, as a returned POW.[53]

"Having been rehabilitated, by late 1974, McCain had his flight status
reinstated, and in 1976 he became commanding officer of a training
squadron stationed in Florida.[53][56] He improved the unit's flight
readiness and safety records,[57] and won the squadron its first-ever
Meritorious Unit Commendation.[56] During this period in Florida,
McCain had extramarital affairs, and the McCains' marriage began to
falter, for which he later would accept blame.[58][59]"

But he, not you nor I nor Chris, wants to be the fuckin' president of
the U S of A.  That would seem to subject to a higher standard, I

Apparently, since the Republicans got so excited about Clinton doing
the same thing McPalin did.  Are blow jobs the real issue or not, it's

Most amusing.  I'm not sure Greg would know a standard if he saw one.  Tell

Obama has ever accomplished.

That's a bit personal.  I wouldn't inquire in public about the details
of the relationship between you and Jayna or between you and any of
the women you've ever slept with, but then I'm not a loser scumball
like you either.

But, were I running for president, I'd answer that question and many
more.  Obviously I'm not the one who's running for president, and even
if I were, I certainly wouldn't be the one hypocritically running on a
family values platform.

Nope, none.  Perhaps someone's sex life is the standard by which you measure
a person's qualification to fill a position.  I guess that's what you have
to rely on when it's the only qualification your preferred candidate has.

I think it's funny as hell that the Democratic party is comparing Sarah
Palin's experience, the vice presidential candidate, to Barak Obama's
experience, the presidential candidate, and she's kicking his a.s big time.
Think about that.  The Republican Vice Presidential candidate is many times
more qualified to be President of the United States, than the Democratic
candidate for President.

The woman doesn't have a clue about foreign affairs other than to note
that Alaska is near Russia, and any elementary school kid could tell
you that by looking at a map.  If you think that makes her experienced
enough to run the country, you're getting high on the fumes exhausted

 Still by comparison, Obama's foreign affairs experience is his Muslim
upbringing.

 She's more qualified than your presidential candidate, and we're enjoying
the show.

Enjoy watching her go down in flames.  The debates should be
interesting.  McCain and Palin are so far out of touch, they make
Ronald Reagan look only half-senile.

"Gov. Sarah Palin may eventually have said "no thanks" to a federally
funded Bridge to Nowhere.  But a bridge to her hometown of Wasilla,
that's a different story.  A $600 million bridge and highway project
to link Alaska's largest city to Palin's town of 7,000 residents is
moving full speed ahead, despite concerns the bridge could worsen some
commuting and threaten a population of beluga whales."

Would it sound any different if the bridge linked Anchorage to the
state's fourth largest city, one of the fastest growing, allowing
commuting by auto instead of by ferry, eliminating the threat of ferries
to the beluga population?

Just another way to state the same facts.

"The National Marine Fisheries Service is evaluating whether the
isolated beluga whales that breed and feed in the waterway's strong
tides should be listed as endangered under the federal Endangered
Species Act. Palin has publicly urged the government not to list Cook
Inlet beluga whales as endangered."

And $600 million is quite a chunk of change to give to a resource-high
state in perpetual surplus when our national economy is in the
sh.tter, dontcha think?

Or are you still claiming that we're doing fine and dandy?  Just

Beluga are hardly endangered in either the Pacific or the Atlantic. The
idea that a bridge over the Cook Inlet, which is a commercial fishing
ground, will endanger the species is ludicrous and the idea that it will
bother that particular population is a real stretch of the imagination.

You really have to do more fact checking. The fed portion is $450
million. And remember that Alaska gets 0.15% of transit earmarks,
California gets 20.34%

Of course, California is a resource-poor state with nothing to keep it
going but wine and homosexuals, but that could be changed with some
education.

What we all need is a vice president that knows how to generate a
surplus, don't you agree?

I know a bubble when I see one, and sold before the peak.

"Wall Street plunged again Wednesday, with anxieties about the

Nope. Today's the day we've been waiting for! Fund redemptions are
staggering as the lemmings try to maximize their losses, the funds are
throwing stuff out the window, all ya have to do is pick up the
nearly-free stuff and hold it for a while.

Don't worry about the lemmings, they'll buy it back from me near the top
and think they're really clever. That's why we have Republicans; the
very stupid need a scapegoat for their lack of savvy. That's why we have
Democrats; the really stupid need someeone to provide a "safety net"
when they trip over their own dicks.

And when the lemmings riot, remind them that the mess we're in today is
a direct result of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Anyone who didn't see it
coming was either in on the scam or pretty stupid.

Nation's breadbasket?  This is what I got with a Google search:

The Midwest is a cultural crossroads. Starting in the early 1800s easterners
moved there in search of better farmland, and soon Europeans bypassed the
East Coast to migrate directly to the interior: Germans to eastern Missouri,
Swedes and Norwegians to Wisconsin and Minnesota. The region's fertile soil
made it possible for farmers to produce abundant harvests of cereal crops
such as wheat, oats, and corn. The region was soon known as the nation's
"breadbasket."

Since when was California in the midwest?

"As you can see from the table below, California ranks 1st among the
states for total agricultural production and for total crop
production. Only Texas surpasses California in the production of
livestock and livestock products"

"California is the top producer of agricultural products in the
nation. It produces a wide array of commodities but, its single most
valuable category is dairy products. In the livestock group,
production of cattle and calves is also important to the state, as is,
to a lesser degree, the value of California eggs. Broilers can be
counted among the state's top livestock products but, because data are
not available, it's not possible to determine where they rank among
the other commodities.

"Among a broad range of crop products, California's greenhouse and
nursery products rank at the top of the list. Grapes, almonds,
lettuce, and strawberries round out the top five most valuable
California crops."

As compared to former governor of Arkansas unless, of course, you consider a
married man balling a White House aid to be a foriegn affair.

I'm gonna start calling ya Easy Lee-sy.

"With the aid of scholarships, Clinton attended the Edmund A. Walsh
School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington,
D.C., receiving a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (B.S.F.S.)
degree in 1968."

Ya think that might help a bit more than Palin's newscaster degree
from an obscure college?

"He spent the summer of 1967, the summer before his senior year,
working as an intern for Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright."

Of course you'll recall that Fulbright was chair of the Foreign
Relations Committee.  In 1967, the nation was at war.  I wonder if
Clinton picked up any tidbits there?

"In 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla Pageant beauty contest."  OK,
I'll give you that one.  Palin is a lot more experienced at beauty
contests and that's what these elections turn out to be given the lack
of intelligence of the average American voter.

Palin stopped educating after her Bachelor's from the obscure
college:  "In 1982, Palin enrolled at Hawaii Pacific College but left
after her first semester, transferring in 1983 to North Idaho College
and then to the University of Idaho. She attended Matanuska-Susitna
College in Alaska for one term, returning to the University of Idaho
to complete her Bachelor of Science degree in communications-
journalism, graduating in 1987."  Sounds pretty stable to you?

"Upon graduation he won a Rhodes Scholarship to University College,
Oxford where he studied Government."

Hmm, a year in a foreign country?  Think that might help more than
Palin's exotic experience in Idaho?  Also, while there, Clinton played
rugby, a much manlier sport than Palin's hockey.  I bet Clinton could
kick her a.s.

Oh, yeah, then Clinton went back to school, another obscure place
called Yale:  "After Oxford, Clinton attended Yale Law School and
obtained a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1973."

He then worked as a college professor for a year before attorney
general and then governor.  He was governor for 10 years, a little bit
longer than Palin's brief career.  He chaired the National Governors
Association for a year.  But much more importantly, Clinton actually
accomplished many positives in his long career as governor, in a very,
very poor state.  Comparing him to Palin is like comparing Cousteau to
a newbie.  Give it up, you never have a chance.

Nawh, Bama-Boy's "foreign affairs" experience is the fact that his
mother was a slut and would f.ck any foreigner that she encountered...
She was just slightly better than a crack whore -- not much though...

I was simply looking at it from my own perspective.  As a voter,
trying to decide which evil I think is lesser, it's a factor.  YMMV.

I'll probably be throwing my vote away on an independent anyway
though, so you can pretty much ignore my opinion just like the
electoral college (probably) will.  :-)

Oh, and by independent, I mean someone who isn't a dem or rep.

I know, and I think you know that my standards are much like your own in
this respect.  Their marital fidelity, however, really isn't an issue in my
decision on how to vote.  I'm a lot more concerned with things like
experience and platform.  The US ecomomy is in terrible shape right now and
it's likely to get worse before it gets better.  Between the give away
programs of the liberals and the pocket lining of some of the conservatives
we've had for the last 8 years, recovery is not easy to predict.
Personally, I think Obama, and the liberals that support him, are likely to
make things worse, a lot worse.  Conservatives, on the other hand, if they
are honest conservatives, stand a better chance at getting us through this
whole.  Either way, it won't be easy.

Of course, there is always 2nd Amendment issues.  I've been very clear in my
position on them and, in that respect there's only once choice for me and
it's not Barak Obama.

Your vote, and  your choice, but I wish you wouldn't.  This is not a time to
throw any votes away, no matter which party you prefer.

Better tell Mike, he's on a buying spree right now.
