All About McCain - Page 137

Seriously? Questioning how much she spends on wardrobe? Give me a break. These people don't have to look good - they have to look miraculous, no matter what they're saying about how they understand the common man. The problem I have with the accusations of "elitist" have nothing to do with this. It is not elitist for them to dress this way and it does not disqualify them from calling each other elitist.

John McCain is gonna unveil a new look, in a last ditch effort to get some younger voters...

Excuse me? He often claims he worked across the aisle in his career in the Illinois State senate, and claims that he is the end to partisanship because he can work with the other side. Working with the other side is easy when you don't intend to take into account anything they have to offer, and based on his voting record, I think it's pretty safe to say he won't take anything they offer seriously. Listen? Sure. I'll listen to anyone if I am planning on just discounting their words later.

Also, that 90% is INCREDIBLY distorted. That includes votes like "We declare today national left handed missing a big toe WWII veterens day in honor of Joe Nobigtoe". Things that are automatic yes votes.

CoasterMatt - is that pic of McCain photoshopped?

Palin said if she and husband Todd had had a sixth child, they had already picked a name for a boy joining siblings Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig.
"I always wanted a son named Zamboni," she said.

Ok, so maybe McCain didn't vote that way the full 90% but it's still enough for me to call shenanigans on his maverick claim.

Haven't seen Obama's record. I've only seen reports of a few votes.

Interesting tidbit - my friend saw something that Palin's name used to be Pall but it got changed at Ellis Island (like many names, including apparently one of my family's names). The intake people couldn't read their handwriting, and thought it was Pali but added an "n" so it wouldn't sound Italian. I wonder what derivation they are? I may have to look that up out of curiosity.

It may be incredibly distorted, but that didn't stop McCain from using it to campaign for himself (I tried to find the video clip but now can't remember where I saw it).

Check Obama's website. He's been using that clip of McCain every five min on every TV station around here for months.
