Steve, I've got some sorry news for you. We are that stupid. How much more proof do you need than Bush/Cheney in '04?

StanG wrote on March 30, 2008 01:11 AM: Does anyone else remember Bush promising to listen to the science when talking to Nevadans? i guess a bunch of bought his BS. So now McCain, Bush lite, says:
"I will respect scientific opinion. The scientific opinion that I had up until recently was that Yucca Mountain was a suitable storage place."

McCain stressed the importance to national security of finding somewhere to store spent nuclear fuel currently at power plants across the country. But he indicated he could be persuaded to end his support for Yucca as the site.
Yeah. Right. Some "straight talk".

A McCain/Romney ticket would be a shoo in...

This behavior so reminds of Johnny Carson's character Floyd R. Turbo, (American).

Floyd R. Turbo was a recurring comedic character on The Tonight Show, portrayed by host Johnny Carson from 1977 until his departure from the program in 1992.

"Floyd R. Turbo was a middle-aged 'everyman,' a politically conservative type who taped editorial messages for television. Billed as "Mr. Silent Majority" (from a phrase used by President Richard Nixon) and based on characters Carson encountered in his northeast Nebraska childhood), Turbo dressed in a plaid hunting jacket and hat, and stood nervously in front of a TV camera as he delivered his opinions on gun control, war, women's liberation, and hunting.

"Carson once told Rolling Stone reporter Timothy White, 'He's (Turbo) the epitome of the redneck ignoramus. I find the things (characteristics) each week when I go out to do...his gestures at the wrong time, his not knowing where he's supposed to be, his feeble attempts at humor, his talks about things he doesn't quite understand.'"

If Carson and Turbo were alive today, surely Turbo would get the majority of his information from AM radio.

Further,Hillary Clinton will hang on to the bitter end, pointing her finger in everyone's face,but she is a goner.
That leaves Senator Barack Obama, and if you read Herb's comments, I strongly second the motion using the same words.

I will vote for John McCain,because he stands for more of the things that I believe in than the things that I do not. I am opposed to his amnesty for
illegal immigrants, I am for the tax cuts that he opposed,but I believe in his conservative stands on most other issues,and in particular his strong stand against radical Islamic extremism,being willing to see things through in Iraq to an acceptable end, his stand for a strong military, and his emphasis on pinning the blame for the housing crisis on the individuals who are responsible, including homeowners who should have known better than to have signed bad loan deals, and lied on their credit applications when they bought second and third houses intended to be flipped for greedy quick gains.

Unlike McCain, I am opposed to the Yucca Flats Repository. I don't have much faith in the science and technology
underlying the decision to establish the repository. After all this is the same government that gave us a nuclear industry without any solutions to the disposal of spent fuel in the first place. The government needs to benchmark and follow other countries who have succesfully digested the nuclear industy, such as Japan and France.

Herb wrote on March 29, 2008 04:31 PM: McCain has been one of my all time worst politicians. I don't appreciate what a RINO he had been through the years. I don't like that he was against the Bush tax cuts and said they were for the rich. As a sports better, I felt deep contempt for him when he tried to outlaw college sports gambling. I could go on and on, I was not a McCain fan by any means.

That being said, I have never felt more threatened by a politician than Obama. The national journal ranks him as the most liberal Senator. He comes across as a Marxist to me. I don't like or trust his charasmatic personality. I don't like that he took cocaine. I don't like his spiritual advisor and Pastor for 20 years. I don't like that he wants to bailout homeowners. I don't like his empty speeches about hope and change. I have never in my life disliked a politician more.

I never thought I would say this, but there is a 100% chance I will vote for John McCain. Herb endorses John McCain for POTUS.
